What is Sikkim History all about?

updated on 22.05.2020 I am not an expert on Sikkim's history, nor am I a prolific historian; my interest in Sikkim's past makes me feel that there are various vacant spaces yet to be filled. When I reviewed different pieces of paper on Sikkim's history, I felt we knew very little about our country. Time has come, and the account of Sikkim's history should be reworked from its primary period, though we know we have inadequate resources. I am sure that capturing the early days of Sikkim (the era when we found the first settlements on this land) in 2020 isn’t as easy as it seems, but we can make an attempt. As a student of Sikkim history, I feel it is not within our perimeter to come up with the entire scene from the beginning until now at once, but we can create a room for our coming generations to carry forward those works we shall leave for them. Today, we hold ourselves accountable to our ancestors (I am not referring to Rishley, Das, Ray, and others;...

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT

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.

Shapi of Sikkim: Our legacy - ii

It was my good fortune to have visited the Forest Department Office at Deorali this summer and met officials out there. I shall remain appreciative of Ongden Daju (RO) for an occasion when I bring in contact with higher officials of the Forest Department. Apart from the reason for my presence in the Forest Department Office, I kept in mind that I would have some valuable information about Shapi, a topic that has been hovering around with me for some time now. I was very pleased with the excitement on people’s faces when they went through a couple of photographs and a video of Shapi from the Schaefer Expedition. I was taken to the ENVIS office by Ongden Daju, where I came across Rajen Pradhan, Sr. Programme Officer (ENVIS), who was kind enough to share with issues of PANDA magazine, issued by the Forest Department, Government of Sikkim, for my personal collections. My wandering heart was more than pleased to find two separate articles published in the PANDA magazine in 1993 and in...
