State of the Art Indoor Facility, Gymnasium and Swimming Pool for SICA

By himalayanreview

After the inclusion of Northeast States as the full member of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2018, Sikkim Cricket Association (SICA) is working tirelessly for the development of infrastructure in the State. Impressed by the functioning of SICA in terms of Cricket development, Sikkim was the first State among the new full members to whom the BCCI sanctioned the development of a proper cricket ground, of which the first phase has already been completed and functioning properly. 


 In the recent visit of the BCCI Secretary Mr. Jay Shah to Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh, he was impressed the way SICA is working and appreciated the way SICA is maintaining its budget and felt that there is an urgent need of developing the indoor facilities as the state has a long monsoon and the players are unable to practice properly and sets them back when the season starts in September. Considering the same and taking the matter to the BCCI, the Board has announced that an indoor facility will be made with a gymnasium and a swimming pool which the players can use during the monsoon.

The Board has asked the State Associations to identify the location for the facilities and send the details to BCCI at the earliest.

My sincere Thanks the Hony Secretary of BCCI for his proactive initiatives in providing early redressal to our nagging issues for our players. Special thanks to our HCM of Sikkim for his continuous support and guidance to SICA, says SICA President Mr Lobzang G Tenzing.

Rongli my birthplace

By himalayanreview
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

By himalayanreview
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

By himalayanreview
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...
