BURTUK YOUTHS, 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."

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...

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT

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.
