By himalayanreview

Gangtok, 26.08.2018: Special General Meeting (SGM) was called by Sikkim Cricket Association (SCA) a day before the trials. The meeting was attended by Office Bearers, Support Staff, Players and Stakeholders of the association.

Among other agendas of the meeting, the key highlight was to inform that SCA has been recognized as one of the “Full Members” of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) among 34 other full members. As a full member, SCA will have a voting right and is also eligible for all the other benefits.

During the meeting, Sonam Pladen Bhutia (General Secretary) gave an overview of the current working of the association and the details of the upcoming tournaments that Sikkim will be playing in different categories. He also informed that BCCI will soon be releasing funds for constructing a cricket pitch and improving of the Mining Cricket Ground. Lodha Commission has been accepted in TOTO during the SGM, said Mr Bhutia.  

It was also decided that General Membership will be opened for one and all after the guidelines have been drafted by K. C. Sharma, Vinod Gupta, Mukesh Agarwal, Chewang Lama, Nayan Tshering Bhutia and Rinzing Bhutia. The 5 Adhoc Members of SCA have also been made full voting right members in the meeting.
Lobzang G. Tenzing, President of SCA during his speech congratulated all the stakeholders of SCA for being the full member of BCCI. It is all the hard work and dedication of Northeast Cricket Development Committee (NECDC), that today we have been given the privilege of a Voting rights member, he added. He also suggested that 2 members each from all four district bodies, players association, support staff, and women's unit should be given voting rights in SCA. He informed me that old constitution of SCA will be redrafted and submitted to State Law Department for registration before the 22nd of September 2018. He offered best wishes to the players for the upcoming trials and cricket season.

The Sikkim Cricket Players Association felicitated the President of SCA for his tireless efforts and contribution to cricket in Sikkim. The meeting was concluded with a vote of thanks to all stakeholders by Rinzing Namgyal Bhutia, Joint Secretary of SCA.

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, ...

Pandam Garhi and its surmise

By himalayanreview
--> RUINS OF PANDAM GARHI BY SHITAL PRADHAN The stories of the legendary ruined walls at Pandam, a 16 km uphill climb from Rangpo, as I had heard from old folks a few seasons back, had ever since excited me to visit this place. Never in the pages of a history book do we come across its talk about when it was built or how it was constructed at the top of the hill? Over the years, many theories have evolved regarding its origin. Some theorists associate the fort with some Lepcha legends, while few disagree with it and have their own adage.  They make us believe one of the Chogyals constructed it to stop the approaching Bhutanese army from entering Sikkim. The last theory to add up, already baffling and controversial, says it was one of the Gurkha Generals from Nepal who constructed the fort along with the Kalika Mandir, also called Nishani Mandir, just below it. With each theory making questions over my mind, I decided to have my second trek to the Pandam Garhi. I had ...

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...
