Sikkim’s cricket captain Nilesh Lamichaney bags prestigious BDM sponsorship

Nilesh Lamichaney, Captain of the Sikkim Cricket Team, added another feather to his short cricket career when he grabbed an opportunity to sign a sponsorship contract with the famed BDM Company. B. D. Mahajan & Sons Private Limited, more popular as BDM, is the world-famous manufacturer of Cricket bats, Cricket Balls, & Cricket Batting pads from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India. He now joins the league of players like MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Ricky Pointing, and others.



Captian Nilesh would like to thank BDM, especially Aditya Mahajan and Sanjeev Sharma, through this press release. Nilesh says it was his century and a couple of half-centuries last season that helped him to promote himself on sponsorship. He said that the prestigious contract has given me more responsibility, and I am more focused on my game. He thanked Sanjeev Sharma, coach of Sikkim Cricket Team and former India seamer, for all the support and motivation. He further said he scored his first century in a National Level tournament playing for the U-15 category with a BDM bat. The sponsorship has given a strong and positive message that if you play with your heart and with dedication, it pays you back. 

Adding to the recent performance of the Sikkim team at the Ranji Trophy, Nilesh said the winning habit was never easy, but thankfully, three professional players' performances helped the team’s spirit. They not only helped us win, but our players gained more confidence playing with them. Fielding had been the highlight of the tournament. We played to our best, and we wish to improve our performances in the coming season, he said.

I have been playing with this team since my U-15 days. I was given an opportunity to lead the team then, and since then, my captaincy has improved. The future of cricket at Sikkim is going to be the next big thing. The cricket stadium is on the line, and today, the youngsters can choose cricket as a career, he further added.

Rongli my birthplace

BY SHITAL PRADHAN A small hamlet in an eastern side Silent raush on its way, The old silk route, More older it look Upon which I stay, Hey that’s Rongli, Rongli my birthplace Years went by, years dried up, Yet the small village is as it was, Silent, peaceful and introvert Today’s picture of Rongli, Houses as station bogie, Looks a cradle, from Chujachen, Upon which the blue sky, As if I can touch thee, Roaring River, As the legend we hear, Still watch with glee, The terror of 1890 somewhat forgotten, Yet another terrorizing moment, 68 was the year… 1968, When sky too wasn’t pleased. That was Rongli, Rongli of the past. Playing along the Baar-Pepal tree, Hiding in the Shivalaya, Watching videos and aloft Is a decent memory, now? Sweet time in treasure, Yet when I am in Rongli, I am happy, in whither sweet. Rongli my birthplace !

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

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...

The coinage system of Sikkim

It is more or less a forgotten part of the development process of the then-small Himalayan kingdom, Sikkim . The introduction of the coinage system in Sikkim ceased the way it started. A study of the coinage system of Sikkim sheds light on the socio-economic and political history of the then-small state. The coins of Sikkim ended the way they appeared; they came from nowhere, and finally, they got lost out in the darkness. A handful of people around Sikkim and in the districts of Darjeeling now have these rare items in their collections. The coin of Sikkim is much sought after by numismatists interested in countries that no longer exist today. Before the British invasion of the land of Sikkim, the capital revenue system was never heard. Sikkim, being an agricultural foreground, had some parts of food grains given to the king as tax. Trade was carried out where things were exchanged between individuals. This system was prevalent even in the mid-19th century; oranges were exchan...
