By himalayanreview
 

RONGLI, DECEMBER 14: Two days of blanket distribution for the Sikkim earthquake-affected families at Dalapchand regions and Pacha regions was conducted on December 13 and 14. The blankets sponsored by the Sikkim State Bank Employees Coordination Committee were helped by SPARK NGO from Singtam and Generous Students Dalapchand Secondary School in distributing those blankets. 

SPARK NGO from Singtam has been helping the Sikkim Earthquake victims. Earlier, they had brought two separate Delhi teams to Sikkim and helped earthquake-affected families.

Praveen Pradhan, President of SPARK NGO, along with its members Shital Pradhan, Sunita Gurung, Prakash Sundas, and Firoze Lohagun from Singtam, visited the earthquake-affected families of Deoling, Chandaney, and Lower Dalapchand on December 13. They were helped by the student organization of Dalapchand Secondary School, the “Generous Students.” On the first day, blankets were distributed to 13 families. 

Speaking on the occasion, Praveen Pradhan, President of SPARK NGO, informed the affected families that the blankets were sponsored by the Sikkim State Bank Employees Coordination Committee. In contrast, his SPARK NGO was only the medium that helped distribute those materials. Firoze Lohagun added that it was his first visit to those villages, and he felt happy to be with the villagers and help them.

Sonam Dorjee Bhutia, Graduate Teacher and Advisor of Generous Students Dalapchand SS, thanked Sikkim State BECC for their contribution to helping our people. Bhutia added that Generous Students are always prepared for any social cause, and it is our responsibility to do something for our society. 

The team of Praveen Pradhan, Shital Pradhan, Sunita Gurung and Firoze Lohagun visited Pacha Saraswati Primary School, a two-hour walk from the nearest motorable road. Fifteen EQ families of Pacha, Majua and Chuba were invited to Pacha Saraswati Primary School for their annual day function. They were distributed blankets in the function from the hands of distinguished guests present on the occasion.

The families who received the blankets thanked the Sikkim State Bank Employees Coordination Committee for extending their help. This is the second round of blanket distributions following the 18/9 Sikkim Earthquake; earlier, they had distributed blankets to the affected families in North Sikkim.

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT

By himalayanreview
This was a national song of Sikkim sung in the Nepali language during the monarchy system. During the merger with India, the song got banned and later re-released. Two words on the 8th para, which earlier said 'Rajah rah Rani,' were replaced with "Janmah bhumi."     This song was dedicated to the King and Queen of Sikkim. The song lyrics were penned by Sanu Lama, and the music was composed by Dushyant Lama.  The song was first sung on the birth anniversary of Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal on April 4, 1970, at Gangtok by Aruna Lama, Dawa Lama, and Manikamal Chettri.    JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT,  JAHAN KANCHENDZONGA SEER   YEHI HO HAMRO DHANA KO DESH,  TAPAWAN HO PYARO SIKKIM     INTERLUDE     PHULCHAN YEHA AANGANAI MAA,  CHAAP , GURAS, SUNAKHARI   SWARGASARI SUNDAR DESH KO  HAMRO PYARO PYARO JANMAHBHUMI     JANHA BAGCHA……     BATASHLE BOKCHAA YAHA,  TATHAGAT KO AAMAR WAANI ...

CLARITY ON CITIZENSHIP (Indian of Sikkimese Origin)

By himalayanreview
from Sikkim Online CLARITY ON CITIZENSHIP Indian of Sikkimese Origin On 26th April 1975, Sikkim was appointed as 22nd state of India. On that day, Sikkim Citizens, Subject holder (Sikkimese) became Indian Citizen according to “Sikkim (Citizenship) Order, 1975” which says “Every person who immediately before the 26th day of April, 1975 was a Sikkim Subject under the Sikkim Subject Regulation 1961, shall be deemed to have become a citizen of India on that day”. As the Indian Constitution does not provide dual citizenship and there exist only citizenship for the whole of country, therefore, the regulation which provided Sikkim Citizenship (Subjects) commonly known as “Sikkim Subject Regulation Act, 1961” was repealed on 13th Sep 1975 according to “Adaptation of Sikkim Laws (No.1) Order” power conferred by clause (l) of Article 371-F of the Constitution which took effect from 26th April 1975 (appointed day). A million dollar question arises here. Who were Sikkim...

The last Chogyal (King) of Sikkim

By himalayanreview
BY SHITAL PRADHAN I was not born when Sikkim became the 22nd state of the Indian Union, and the only information I have about the political identity of my Sikkim comes from literary knowledge and conversations with elderly people. I personally believe that no nation can develop unless its history, culture, and heritage are preserved. Sikkim, though now part of India, bears the responsibility of every Sikkimese to safeguard its past glory. Interestingly, a few days ago, my college-going nephew surprised me when he mentioned that a man named STNM could be the last Chogyal, while one of my colleagues added that TNA and TNSSS also bear the name of the last Chogyal. Well, is this the future of Sikkim? If we cannot enable the younger generation to connect with the facts and authenticity of Sikkim, the state will surely lose its vivacious historical pages. Twenty-five long years have passed since the passing away of the last Chogyal of Sikkim, Late Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal. Apart fr...
