Man enjoys the beauties of nature and lives on them. But he also becomes a victim of the fury of nature. Natural calamities like famines and floods take a heavy toll of human life and property. Man seems to have little chance in fighting against natural forces. The topography of the district of Darjeeling is such that among the four sub-divisions, three sub-divisions are located in the hills where disasters like landslides, landslip, road blockade are often occurred during monsoon. On the other side, in the Siliguri Sub-Division which lies in the plain there is possibility of flood due to soil erosion/ embankment and flash flood. As district of Darjeeling falls under Seismic Zone IV the probability of earthquake cannot be denied. Flood/ cyclone/ landslide often trouble men. Heavy rains results in rivers and banks overflowing causing damage on a large scale. Unrelenting rains cause human loss. In a hilly region like Darjeeling district poor people do not have well constructed houses especially in rural areas. Because of incessant rains houses collapse and kill people. Rivers and streams overflow inundating large areas. Roads and footpaths are sub merged under water.

  • Down the Ages in Sikkim
    Journal of Global Literacies, Technologies, and Emerging Pedagogies Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2019, pp. 895-904 The Tsongs (Limbus) Down the Ages in Sikkim Dr. Buddhi L. Khamdhak1 Assistant Professor Department of Limboo, Sikkim Govt. College, Gyalshing, Sikkim. Abstract: The Limbus, Yakthungs or Tsongs, who have inhabited the Himalayan belt of Kanchanjanga since time immemorial, are one of the Indigenous people of Sikkim (India), Nepal, Bhutan, Burma, and Thailand. They are neither Nepalis by ethnicity nor Hindus by religion. Historically, linguistically, and culturally they have a distinct identity; however, over the centuries, they have been denied and deprived of Indigenous rights and justice. In this article, I will demonstrate the socio-cultural and linguistic conditions of Limbus in Sikkim prior, and during, the Namgyal/Chogyal reign. Then, I will argue how the Limbus were deprived of all their rights and justice in Sikkim. Keywords: Sikkim/Sukhim, Tsong, Yakthung, Lho-Men-Tsong-Sum, Chogyal, Citizenship Rights Introduction The Sikkimi Tsongs, Limbus or Yakthungs, are the Indigenous inhabitants of Sikkim. They are also commonly called “Tsong” by the Bhutias and Lepchas in Sikkim. The Limbus call themselves “Yakthung,” and they share very close historical and socio-cultural ties with 1 Dr. Buddhi L.

  • Sikkim (Lepcha: Mayel Lyang; Limbu: Yuksom, One of the Fortified Place;[1
    Sikkim (Lepcha: Mayel Lyang; Limbu: Yuksom, one of the fortified place;[1] Standard Tibetan: Tibetan: , bras ljongs; Denzong;[2] Demojongs; Nepali: འབས་ལོངས་ िसिकम (help·info), i.e. the Goodly Region, or Shikim, Shikimpati or Sikkim of the English and Indians…[3]) is a landlocked Indian state nestled in the Himalayas. This thumb-shaped state borders Nepal in the west, the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China to the north and the east and Bhutan in the southeast. The Indian state of West Bengal borders Sikkim to its south.[4] With just slightly over 500,000 permanent residents, Sikkim is the least populous state in India and the second-smallest state after Goa.[5] Despite its small area of 7,096 km2 (2,740 sq mi), Sikkim is geographically diverse due to its location in the Himalayas. The climate ranges from subtropical to high alpine. Kangchenjunga, the world's third-highest peak, is located on the border of Sikkim with Nepal.[6] Sikkim is a popular tourist destination owing to its culture, scenic beauty and biodiversity. Legend has it that the Buddhist saint Guru Rinpoche visited Sikkim in the 9th century, introduced Buddhism and foretold the era of the monarchy. Indeed, the Namgyal dynasty was established in 1642. Over the next 150 years, the kingdom witnessed frequent raids and territorial losses to Nepalese invaders. It allied itself with the British rulers of India but was soon annexed by them. Later, Sikkim became a British protectorate and merged with India following a referendum in 1975. Sikkim has 11 official languages: Nepali (lingua franca), Bhutia, Lepcha (since 1977), Limbu (since 1981), Newari, Rai, Gurung, Mangar, Sherpa, Tamang (since 1995) and Sunwar (since 1996).[7] English is taught at schools and used in government documents.
