Singtam Boxing Club enjoys success at State Level Boxing championship

By himalayanreview



SINGTAM, MAY 3: Singtam Boxing Club, a three year old boxing club had a dream run at the recently concluded 14th State Level Boxing championship that was held at Sonamati Memorial Government SSS, Khamdong. The boxers from SBC went on to win Sub-Junior Girls Championship while they stood second at the Sub-Junior Boys Championship.
Pritam Shilal, coach of Singtam Boxing Club has said his young boxers went on to win 17 medals that included six gold, four silver and seven bronze medals. It was a great achievement that Pratik Chettri and Kumari Sanyasi, my students were adjudged Best Boxer of the tournament in boys and girls category, added the proud coach. Shilal further added, his success does not stop here. My next goal would be to produce winners from those who missed gold medals this time. Nevertheless I am happy that their efforts and hard work are paying off, said Shilal.
Shilal is the former two times bronze medalists at National Sub Junior Championship but his fatal knee ligament injury during India Camp in 2009 ended his promising career. Since then for the last three years, he had been training the young boys and girls into boxing.
Sunny Kr. Bhagat, the team captain of Singtam Boxing Club who won the gold in 63 kg category said, he owes his success to his coach and his family. I am also thankful towards my school, Government Secondary School Singtam for supporting me. I am happy that last year I had won bronze and this time it is gold. There were 198 boxers from different parts of the state in the competition and I feel that Sikkim has a bright future ahead in this sport, Sunny added.
The medalist from Singtam Boxing Club were : Gold: Nisha  Subba, Kumari Sanyasi, Sunaina Bardewa, Pratil Chettri, Anand Chettri, Sunny Kr. Bhagat; Silver: Taran Pradhan, Madan Rai, Laxuman Rai, Som Maya Subba; Bronze: Ravi Darjee, Bikash Lal Pandit, Sradha Rai, Sushma Tamang, Anuka Rai, Prayash Rai, Pawan Singh Darnal

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 ...

India’s illegal occupation of independent Sikkim has to be reversed

By himalayanreview
Extracted from Pakistan Defence India’s “Chief Executive” in Gangtok wrote: “Sikkim’s merger was necessary for Indian national interest. And we worked to that end.

On one side was Queen Hope Cook, the American wife of the Chogyal and on the other was the Belgian wife of the Kazi, Elisa-Maria Standford. “This was a proxy war between the American and the Belgian,” says former chief minister BB Gurung. But there was a third woman involved: Indira Gandhi in New Delhi. Chogyal Palden met the 24-year-old New Yorker Hope Cook in Darjeeling in 1963 and married her. For Cook, this was a dream come true: to become the queen of an independent kingdom in Shangrila. She started taking the message of Sikkimese independence to the youth, and the allegations started flying thic...
