By himalayanreview

BANGKOK, December 02: Roshan Prasad, a renowned Philatelist, Author and Philatelic designer from Singtam, Sikkim bag Silver for his stamp collection on Cricket “The Story of Cricket” and Sliver Bronze for his first book “The Stamp Collector’s Dictionary” at the World Stamp Championship “Thailand 2023” held between 27th November to 2nd December at The Grand Postal Building, Bangkok, Thailand.

With Mr Richard Tan Eng Chuan,  Vice President of FIP

The Championship was organized by the Philatelic Association of Thailand (P.A.T.) under the patronage of H.R.H. Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn and the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (FIP) with the support of Thailand Post Co. Ltd., under the auspices of the Federation of Inter-Asia Philately (FIAP) to celebrate the Auspicious occasion of His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua’s 72nd Birthday Anniversary and also 140th Anniversary of the first Thai Postage Stamp and Postal Services.

Around 2,500 frames of exhibits, FIP Grand Prix Club and Court of Honour were displayed by over 500 participants from 80 different countries.

Roshan is collecting stamps on cricket since 2005 and he has been globally recognized for his outstanding collection and knowledge of Philatelic since then. He has also written two books on philately which he believes will help not only the new collectors but the existing collectors as well. He is also been promoting the hobby in the region for the last seven years and his designs of Special Covers and picture postcards are promoting Sikkim tourism in the philatelic world.

"Hailing from a state where philately is pursued by only a few, my journey has been far from easy. I am deeply honoured and grateful to have secured the Silver and Silver Bronze Medals at the World Stamp Championship for both my philatelic book and the stamp collection. This achievement is a testament to my passion for philately and the dedication invested in creating a collection that resonates globally. I would like to thank the Emirates Philatelic Association, Sikkim Philatelic Society, and special thanks to Mr Javaid Muhammad, Chairman of FIP Literature Commission, for his consistent support and guidance. Nevertheless, to the Philatelic Association of Thailand for a wonderful show.” Says Roshan.

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 ...

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...
