PRIDE OF SINGTAM 01 - NAVIN KUMAR TRIVEDI

By himalayanreview
It was on May 28, 2010; I reported the CBSE 10th examination of East Point SSS’s results in news media both print and social. The same year grading system “Grade Point 10” was introduced and given to the students who scored between 91 marks to 100 marks. Five students of EP SSS went on to score Grade 10 in mathematics, those included Navin Kumar Trivedi, Shubham Prasad, Arindram Mishra, Ashish Kumar Singh and Deobrata Ishwar. Shubham Prasad, Arindram Mishra and Ashish Kumar Singh also went on to score Grade Point 10 in three individual subjects respectively.

Among those meritorious students was Navin Kumar Trivedi. He scored a “Perfect 10”, the highest Grade Point i.e. “10” along with “A1” Grade in each of the five subjects he had undergone. His subjects include English, Hindi, Mathematics, Science and Social Science. He was the first from Singtam to do so. The success of those students was observed when an official holiday was announced at the school to celebrate their success; first of its kind in the school history that was set up in 1986.

This instance had caught my fancy mind. Two years later, I found out that he had joined Holy Cross, Tadong for his further study and I was expecting some brilliant news from Navin in his Class XII examinations. Once the results were announced, I rang him up in excitement to know his marks. Well! He did not disappoint me. The shy face wonder boy scored 100 in mathematics, 95 each in Biology and Physics, 94 in Chemistry and 85 in English. That was again a brilliant score. 

Since then I lost contact with him until few days back flipping back my blog I came across his old post and wondered what he was doing these days. I contacted few of his friends but nothing came up. So I gave a try to search him at Facebook and there he was…his Facebook bio reads lives in Munich, Germany. I could not hide my joy and immediately send him message and congratulated for his present read. He remembered me. He told me he was pursuing Masters in Power Engineering at Munich. 

He said after his Class XII, he studied Electrical & Electronics from NIT Hamirpur. He completed his course with GPA 8.7, 3rd overall in his EEE batch. After that he worked in L&T. In L&T, he joined as Graduate Engineer Trainee, and after a year he was promoted to Senior Electrical Engineer. After two years, he came to Munich for his Masters at Technical University of Munich.

Navin’s success is very close to my heart. It is a story of a small town boy and his dream. My best wishes for him in his future endeavour and as always I would be more interested what will be his next move when he completes his Masters.

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 ...

CLARITY ON CITIZENSHIP (Indian of Sikkimese Origin)

By himalayanreview
from Sikkim Online CLARITY ON CITIZENSHIP Indian of Sikkimese Origin On 26th April 1975, Sikkim was appointed as 22nd state of India. On that day, Sikkim Citizens, Subject holder (Sikkimese) became Indian Citizen according to “Sikkim (Citizenship) Order, 1975” which says “Every person who immediately before the 26th day of April, 1975 was a Sikkim Subject under the Sikkim Subject Regulation 1961, shall be deemed to have become a citizen of India on that day”. As the Indian Constitution does not provide dual citizenship and there exist only citizenship for the whole of country, therefore, the regulation which provided Sikkim Citizenship (Subjects) commonly known as “Sikkim Subject Regulation Act, 1961” was repealed on 13th Sep 1975 according to “Adaptation of Sikkim Laws (No.1) Order” power conferred by clause (l) of Article 371-F of the Constitution which took effect from 26th April 1975 (appointed day). A million dollar question arises here. Who were Sikkim...

The last Chogyal (King) of Sikkim

By himalayanreview
BY SHITAL PRADHAN I was not born when Sikkim became the 22nd state of the Indian Union, and the only information I have about the political identity of my Sikkim comes from literary knowledge and conversations with elderly people. I personally believe that no nation can develop unless its history, culture, and heritage are preserved. Sikkim, though now part of India, bears the responsibility of every Sikkimese to safeguard its past glory. Interestingly, a few days ago, my college-going nephew surprised me when he mentioned that a man named STNM could be the last Chogyal, while one of my colleagues added that TNA and TNSSS also bear the name of the last Chogyal. Well, is this the future of Sikkim? If we cannot enable the younger generation to connect with the facts and authenticity of Sikkim, the state will surely lose its vivacious historical pages. Twenty-five long years have passed since the passing away of the last Chogyal of Sikkim, Late Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal. Apart fr...
