SIKKIM CRICKET CONDEMNS BHAICHUNG'S FALSE NARRATIVE DIRECTED TOWARDS SICA

By himalayanreview

Sikkim Cricket Association Condemns the false statement made by Mr. Bhaichung Bhutia, who now on several occasions has passed false remarks recklessly before the press, wherein he repeatedly stated that SICA receives grant in aid to a tune of Rs. 15 to 20 Crores per year. This is entirely false and we urge Mr. Bhaichung to get his facts checked before speaking out against other associations or sporting bodies, who are only trying their best to help the state of Sikkim and its people.

SICA would also take this opportunity to inform the general public that all and any grants received by us are in the public domain and have been made available for anyone interested, through the BCCI website.

We at SICA would also like to state that money doesn’t equate to good governance, various structural reforms have been undertaken by SICA bringing in transparency in all aspects from governance to financial matters, introduction and formation of District bodies and even giving them voting rights and powers in governance.


Introduction of Club culture in the State for both Men and Women along with voting rights for clubs, Implementation of policies such as representation of Players Association in SICA’s governing body, as two members of the Players Association form part of SICA’s Apex Council, these are but a few of the many reforms and policies taken up by SICA which has nothing to do with money.


In fact, SICA’s revival with reforms and restructuring started in the year 2016, which was several years before it even became a full member of the BCCI. Therefore, the real groundwork was already in motion before SICA had received a single penny.


Organizations and its representatives should acknowledge the responsibility they owe towards Sikkim and its people, while striving to inspire and encourage each other rather than indulging in passing false information and propaganda.

Those early man tools found in Sikkim!

By himalayanreview
--> Display of Neolithic tools recovered from Sajyong, 2003 (Weekend Review) BY SHITAL PRADHAN Not only is the Himalayan land of Sikkim old but it is also considered ancient. The archeological findings of different Neolithic tools in this part of the Himalayas over the last three decades speak of its antiquity. It may be of little importance to many. However, findings of various Neolithic tools from the remote pockets in Sikkim over the past five decades have still collected vivid interest in people beyond this region. On three separate occasions, Neolithic tools had been dug out from Sikkim, and that unfolded the age of this Himalayan mountain land much against the period we were supposed to. “The term Neolithic Period, or New Stone Age, defines the second period, at the beginning of which ground and usually polished rock tools, notably axes, came into widespread use after the adoption of a new technique of stone working. The beginning of the Neolithic...

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, ...

Shapi of Sikkim: Our legacy -iii

By himalayanreview
A Sikkimese with a Shapi The two previous articles I wrote in my earlier edition on Shapi were wonderful to read for people around, and appreciation had been received from different corners of the state. I am thankful and find pleasure in people finding joy in my findings and research work. It was a bit surprising that very few had heard about Shapi, our rare legacy.  Nevertheless, I am happy to be part of history for re-introducing Shapi to those sections of my readers who had never heard about this old and sacred mountain mammal, a native of Sikkim. I dedicate my writing on Shapi to Ongden Daju (RO), who has been very supportive of me ever since I first published its first part a few months back. It was he who wanted me to continue with the third part of Shapi since more findings were evolving after my two writings. I shall always remain grateful to JR Subba, Jt Director from the Forest Department, for providing me with a valuable census report of Shapi done by the Department...
