He further said, he had established the market for “Kinna Maya Ma” in 7 countries of the world including some Indian states. Along these lines, he wishes to establish a regular market for upcoming films of Sikkim in different countries of the world too.

The formation and consolidation of this national culture have required the expunging of uncomfortable facts and stories that might raise ambiguities and questions. While the selection of what and who is and is not acknowledged to exist (or at least exist in historically important ways) in official Nepali history is complex, social scientists have begun to provide more comprehensive historical accounts of the past through oral histories and re-readings of historical documents.
