Dalapchand: Despite poor weather conditions Upper Dalapchand SS students gave a colourful culture farewell to their outgoing Class X senior students today at Khel Ground, Dalapchand. Present on the occasion were ST Bhutia, Head Master of Upper Dalapchand SSS and his staffs, Singer Prakash Sundas from Gangtok and villagers from nearby areas. Among the cultural programme, Rebika Rai, student from Class IX went on to win the coveted title of “Voice of Dalapchand”.
Ishwar Dawari and Nar Maya Gurung, School Captains hosted the day long function that had more than 20 former school mates of the school making their present felt on the occasion. Singer Prakash Sundas entertained the gatherings with his soulful Hindi and Nepali popular songs.
Dance competition and the much talked “Voice of Dalapchand” Singing competition was the highlight of the day. Dance competition had participants from Class IV to Class X.  The top three winners of Dance Competition were Deepshika & groups followed by Bijayata & groups and Deepika & groups.

Chettri got emotion in his speech and thanked the school faculties for their wonderful moments that he and his mates had being a student. He further urged the young students give their best in schools and make the school proud.
Speaking on the occasion Singer Prakash Sundas said that it was a dream come true for him to sing in a school competition and thanked the school authority for inviting him on the occasion. In my school days I never got an opportunity to sing at school, I was always denied on those occasions but today I felt I succeed in getting away with a wish I had within me. Sundas was in all praise for the participant singers, in his word he said the young singers have the talent and they have to display their talents beyond school functions too.
Ambika Chettri, Computer Teacher of Upper Dalapchand SSS said the students had made a wonderful arrangement including foods. The weather did upset the show for some time but overall the programme was great and enjoyable.

Rongli my birthplace

By himalayanreview
BY SHITAL PRADHAN A small hamlet in an eastern side Silent raush on its way, The old silk route, More older it look Upon which I stay, Hey that’s Rongli, Rongli my birthplace Years went by, years dried up, Yet the small village is as it was, Silent, peaceful and introvert Today’s picture of Rongli, Houses as station bogie, Looks a cradle, from Chujachen, Upon which the blue sky, As if I can touch thee, Roaring River, As the legend we hear, Still watch with glee, The terror of 1890 somewhat forgotten, Yet another terrorizing moment, 68 was the year… 1968, When sky too wasn’t pleased. That was Rongli, Rongli of the past. Playing along the Baar-Pepal tree, Hiding in the Shivalaya, Watching videos and aloft Is a decent memory, now? Sweet time in treasure, Yet when I am in Rongli, I am happy, in whither sweet. Rongli my birthplace !

India’s illegal occupation of independent Sikkim has to be reversed

By himalayanreview
Extracted from Pakistan Defence India’s “Chief Executive” in Gangtok wrote: “Sikkim’s merger was necessary for Indian national interest. And we worked to that end.

On one side was Queen Hope Cook, the American wife of the Chogyal and on the other was the Belgian wife of the Kazi, Elisa-Maria Standford. “This was a proxy war between the American and the Belgian,” says former chief minister BB Gurung. But there was a third woman involved: Indira Gandhi in New Delhi. Chogyal Palden met the 24-year-old New Yorker Hope Cook in Darjeeling in 1963 and married her. For Cook, this was a dream come true: to become the queen of an independent kingdom in Shangrila. She started taking the message of Sikkimese independence to the youth, and the allegations started flying thic...

The coinage system of Sikkim

By himalayanreview
It is more or less a forgotten part of the development process of the then-small Himalayan kingdom, Sikkim . The introduction of the coinage system in Sikkim ceased the way it started. A study of the coinage system of Sikkim sheds light on the socio-economic and political history of the then-small state. The coins of Sikkim ended the way they appeared; they came from nowhere, and finally, they got lost out in the darkness. A handful of people around Sikkim and in the districts of Darjeeling now have these rare items in their collections. The coin of Sikkim is much sought after by numismatists interested in countries that no longer exist today. Before the British invasion of the land of Sikkim, the capital revenue system was never heard. Sikkim, being an agricultural foreground, had some parts of food grains given to the king as tax. Trade was carried out where things were exchanged between individuals. This system was prevalent even in the mid-19th century; oranges were exchan...
