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.

History on Easter Sunday and Padari Ganga Prasad Pradhan

By himalayanreview
By Seira Tamang As noted by various scholars, Hinduism, the Nepali language, the monarchy and a rastriya itihas (a chronicle of progress in which the dark era of Rana rule is contrasted with the enlightened, progressive and modern period of Panchayat rule) formed the core of the Panchayat regime’s national culture. The formation and consolidation of this national culture have required the expunging of uncomfortable facts and stories that might raise ambiguities and questions. While the selection of what and who is and is not acknowledged to exist (or at least exist in historically important ways) in official Nepali history is complex, social scientists have begun to provide more comprehensive historical accounts of the past through oral histories and re-readings of historical documents. 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

By himalayanreview
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...
