SCA attends Special General Meeting of BCCI

By himalayanreview

Special General Meeting (SGM) of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was held in Delhi on 22.06.2018. The President of Sikkim Cricket Association (SCA) Lobzang G. Tenzing represented Sikkim. During the meeting among other agendas the most important was for Northeast states playing Ranji Thropy for the first time in a new format. Exiting Ranji teams will be in the “Elite Division” and the rest in “Plate Division”.  

The decision was made that in the upcoming domestic season, new teams including North Eastern States and Bihar will be playing against each other in the plate division. The top 2 teams from the plate division will then face the bottom two sides of group A, B and C of the elite division and the best two will promoted to the elite division in the following season and bottom 2 from the elite division will be relegated to plate division.

The modalities will be worked soon but the President of SCA Lobzang G. Tenzing was thrilled to note that SGM for the first time resolved to involve Northeast States in Ranji Trophy. He said that, this is the result of the hard work put up by the office bearers of No

rtheast States Associations in last two years. The united front of cricket associations of Northeast States under the umbrella of North East Cricket Development Committee (NECDC) has been in the forefront of lobbying for development of Cricket in North East, he added.

 

This is a brilliant chance for our boys’ to showcase one’s talent in the National arena and playing for the National Team and IPL in future as Ranji Throphy is the main platform. President Lobzang G. Tenzing wishes luck to the players of Sikkim Cricket for the upcoming season and asks the senior cricketers to take up cricket more seriously. He also mentioned that now he awaits SCA to be full voting right member of BCCI.

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. Maybe if the Chogyal had been smarter and played his cards better, it wouldn’t have turned out the way it did.” It is also said that the real battle was not between the Chogyal and Kazi Lendup Dorji but between their wives. 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...

From archeologist to self made Sikkim historian

By himalayanreview
Satyajit Ray with former King and Queen of Sikkim BY SHITAL PRADHAN I never wanted to be a teacher, and at the same time, I never had any options. I had always been interested in history since school, but destiny had other careers for me. When I completed high school, I compromised my dream of becoming an archaeologist and opted for Pure Science streams simply to please my father. In my early schooling days, we were taught to plant dreams, and I dreamed of becoming an archaeologist. Tutankhamun, Stonehenge, Crop Circles, Incas, Mayas, ancient civilizations, and many others were the only things I fantasized about. I regularly visited forest areas in my hometown and searched for things, believing that I was an archeologist and was destined to discover it. Funny ways of life. One day, I found a fossil; it was a petrified fossil with an impression of a Gramineae leaf.  Since 2003, I have been trying to get more information about it without success. I completed my Pure Science...
