BURTUK YOUTHS, Burtuk

Date: 20.04.2013, Burtuk

"A resplendently new dawn of sort seems to begin with the ruling SDF Party fielding in of the socially dynamic and veteran legal luminary Shri D.R. Thapa as the caretaker of the Burtuk Constituency.

Today, hitherto seemingly shanty Burtuk area got abuzzed with a massive welcoming of the new incumbent by the Burtuk Youths & Women volunteers followed by door-to-door campaign covering even the remote fringes by the new youth leader Shri D.R.Thapa along with the Hon’ble Councillor Shri L.B. Bhujel escorted by a huge devoted followings of visibly energized Burtuk Youths & Women volunteers who got an unprecedented resounding popular response.

The much-inviting Burtuk people, at last, seem to have gotten their long-awaited leader as they flock with reverberating “Welcome SDF” sloganeering and garlanding and, of course, their ailing woes, in equal measures. The day-long mass campaign finally culminated with euphoric sloganeering and cheering by the throngs of supporters, at the future SDF Party office venue, Manbir Colony, Burtuk."

Such accounts reveal how ordinary people lived in the past, and offer ways to think through how ‘history’ is crafted, shaped and managed in order to reflect ‘the reality’ best suited to the status quo, ...

Sikkim Mahinda Thero: A national hero of Sri Lanka

Sikkim Mahinda Thero BY SHITAL PRADHAN I first heard about S Mahinda Thero in 2005 while in Kolkata when I was asked by one of the stamp dealers whether I was interested in a 20 paisa stamp of S Mahinda Thero issued by the Sri Lankan Postal Department in the early 1970s. I collected philatelic items on Buddhism, but I never understood who he was talking about. He told me, as I was from Sikkim, I might be interested to know more about the person, and he went on to add it was Sikkim Mahinda Thero, a Buddhist monk who is regarded as a national hero, a famous poet in the Sinhalese language whose poetry promoted patriotism and the revival of Buddhism to this part of the Island. He promised to send me the stamp of S Mahinda Thero from Colombo through the mail, but I have never heard from him since then. However, regarding my limited concern, it was enough to know that such a person keeps the name Sikkim with honor and pride in Sri Lanka. I had the name...
