Hope Cooke on Sikkim



Wow!! Was the first word that came from my heart. Watching Hope Cooke speak was nothing more than a dream come true. As a student of Sikkim History, my passion for learning more about my state grows with me with each passing day.

 The video was produced by Yale University and released on YouTube on June 14, 2013.
