They wanted to kill me??

AN ENVELOPE   A PIECE OF PAPER   LIST OF ADDRESSES INSIDE THE ENVELOPE I was part of a successful newspaper at Gangtok; the weekly newspaper “Weekend Review” was then considered the third party in Sikkim after the Sikkim Democratic Front led by Pawan Chamling and Congress led by N B. Bhandari, former Chief Minister of Sikkim. I had just completed my graduation when I got a chance to join the big-wig WR team. It took me a week to decide, and I was a news reporter.

The British defeated the Gorkhas during the Anglo Gorkha war of 1814-16 and the lands they had conquered were ceded to the British and re-profiled.

Most of the people don’t know about the Tamangs in our country, but they very much exist in North-Eastern part of India. As I belong to the Tamang community, it made me want to find out about my community. Some kind of curiosity was there to get the proper information related to my community.

Now, I am very keen to share with you all. Maybe I am wrong in many ways but what I got after my search I am sharing wi...
