    CHAPTER-S EMERGENCE AND EVOLUTION OF SIKKIM DEMOCRATIC FRONT AS A POLITICAL PARTY CHAPTER 5 Emergence and Evolution of Sikkim Democratic Front as a Political Party 1. Dissention within Sikkim Sangram Parishad It has already been discussed in the last part of the previous chapter about the feud between Chamling and Bhandari and the former's expulsion from the party on the ground of ideological differences. In this chapter, we will try to assess the reason behind the dissention and the emergence of a new state political outfit, Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) and its role in the state politics. Pawan Chamling, a son of a farmer from Yangang, south Sikkim had first started his political career as the President of his village Yangang Gram Panchayat Unit in 1982 and became an MLA of Damthang Constituency in 1985. He slowly climbed up the political ladder to become a Cabinet Minister in SSP Government in 1989 and was the Minister- in-charge for Industries, Printing and Information & Public Relations. (Commemorative issue:25 years of Statehood) On his days as the SSP minister for two and half years, there started growing a discord on principles and practices of politics between him and the then Chief Minister Nar Bahadur Bhandari. The differences between him and the leadership of the SSP were neither petty nor personal. There were substantial differences on issues of principle and ideology. (B B Gurung) 2012) (Bali) 2003) It was alleged that during Bhandari's rule, he ruled as a monarch without a crown. The fundamental rights of speech and expression granted by the constitution to its citizens became CHAPTER 5 : Emergence and Evolution of Sikkim Democratic Front as a Political Party imprisoned within the bounds of Mintokgang.

    CHAPTER-4 STATE PARTY DOMINANCE: CASE OF SIKKIM SANGRAM PARIS HAD CHAPTER 4 State Party Dominance: Case of Sikkim Sangram Parishad 1. Merger of Sikkim Janata Parishad Immediately after the assumption of office on 18/10/1979, Bhandari found Sikkim politically, economically and socially backward. There was no planning process for rapid development of Sikkim and there was no communal harmony. His government first took steps to meet the basic needs of the general public and refurbished the entire administrative set up in accordance with the change needed (Nar Bahadur Bhandari, 2011). The Parliamentary election took place in Sikkim on the 3rd January, 1980. It was the first such election in Sikkim. In 1977 there was no election, since the candidate was returned uncontested. The bye-election to Sikkim Legislative Assembly (SLA) for Khamdong and Chakung was also held along with Sikkim Parliamentary constituency election in 1980. (Sengupta N. , State Government and Politics: Sikkim. , 1985, p. 113) Sikkim J anata Parishad won all the seats and at the centre, Congress (I) returned to power with overwhelming majority. (ECI, Statistical Report on the Elections to the Lok Sabha, 1980) Politics in Sikkim assumed an interesting shape after the change in leadership at the centre. All the major political parties were in the rat race over the issue of getting recognition of the Congress (!).Whereas the opposition parties- SPC, a section of SCR as well as Janata Party wanted to join hands and come to power by getting support of Congress(I).The ruling party, SJP wanted Centre's CHAPTER 4 : State Party Dominance : Case of Sikkim Sang ram Parishad recognition to secure its power position and ultimately it was recognized by the Central leadership in July 1981.Thus shedding its 'separate identity of State Party' the SJP merged itself with the Congress (I) (Sengupta N.

  • Chapter 8 Sikkim
    Chapter 8 Sikkim AC Sinha Sikkim, an Indian State on the Eastern Himalayan ranges, is counted among states with Buddhist followers, which had strong cultural ties with the Tibetan region of the Peoples’ Republic of China. Because of its past feudal history, it was one of the three ‘States’ along with Nepal and Bhutan which were known as ‘the Himalayan Kingdoms’ till 1975, the year of its merger with the Indian Union. It is a small state with 2, 818 sq. m. (7, 096 sq. km.) between 27 deg. 4’ North to 28 deg 7’ North latitude between 80 deg. East 4’ and 88deg. 58’ East longitude. This 113 kilometre long and 64 kilometre wide undulating topography is located above 300 to 7,00 metres above sea level. Its known earliest settlers, the Lepchas, termed it as Neliang, the country of the caverns that gave them shelter. Bhotias, the Tibetan migrants, called it lho’mon, ‘the land of the southern (Himalayan) slop’. As rice plays important part in Buddhist rituals in Tibet, which they used to procure from India, they began calling it ‘Denjong’ (the valley of rice). Folk traditions inform us that it was also the land of mythical ‘Kiratas’ of Indian classics. The people of Kirati origin (Lepcha, Limbu, Rai and possibly Magar) used to marry among themselves in the hoary past. As the saying goes, a newly wedded Limbu bride on her arrival to her groom’s newly constructed house, exclaimed, “Su-khim” -- the new house. This word not only got currency, but also got anglicized into Sikkim (Basnet 1974).

Kazi Lhendup Dorjee Khangsarpa was born in the year 1904 at Pakyong, East Sikkim, while Col. Younghusband led the British Mission to Tibet and changed the course of History of Sikkim. In fact, in his childhood, Kazi Lhendup Dorjee Khangsarpa entered the spiritual life i.e., when he was 6 years old. He was educated as a monk (Lama - Buddhabikshu) at Rumtek Monastery of East Sikkim, situated very near to capital Gangtok. He was a disciple and student of his own uncle Tshufuk Lama Rabdon Dorji - the Head Lama of Rumtek Monastery. The then Maharaja o f Sikkim, Sikyong Tulku - during his visit to Rumtek Monastery showed a great liking and was attracted by the cute and young monk Lhendup, took him to Gangtok and put him in a Tibetan School. In his 16^*’ year Lhendup Dorjee returned to Rumtek Monastery to undergo two years rigorous training in Lamaism of Mahayana-Buddhism (Lamaism is a combination of both Tantrayana and Mantrayana). Finally, he succeeded in his teen age to Lama Ugen Tenzing to preach as Head Lama of Rumtek Monastery for about eight years. Leaving monastic life young Kazi had joined ‘Young Men’s Buddhist Association’ founded by his brother Kazi Phag Tshering in Darjeeling.

  • Chapter- Vi Political Organizations and the Issue of Ethnic Identity: Role of Political Parties & Ethnic Organizations
    293 CHAPTER- VI POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS AND THE ISSUE OF ETHNIC IDENTITY: ROLE OF POLITICAL PARTIES & ETHNIC ORGANIZATIONS. It is an acknowledged fact that political parties and organizations often tend to be ethnically oriented in terms of their membership, goals and support base, in an ethnically divided society or in societies where ethnic cleavages play a significant role in determining social relations. Parties and organizations in their tum may enhance the possibilities of ethnic divisions and conflicts. In a parliamentary democracy or a democratic polity which is ethnically divided, chances of emergence of ethnic political parties and organizations are greater for the simple reason that democratic institutions allow and facilitate such ethnic mobilization in the form of a party or organization. On the other hand, ethnic groups also may find it convenient to organize themselves around the political party or organization because it will assist ethnic groups to permeate democratic institutions and thereby to influence the decision-making process. Interestingly, ethnically based parties are in a sense incompatible or inconsistent with the image and meaning of a political party. Political parties as modem institutions are expected to convert exclusive and segmental interest into public interest. The political party appeals to common interests or attempts to create a combination of interests. Horowitz remarks that very concept of party is challenged by a political party, which is ascriptive and exclusive.1 In this sense ethnically based party or an ethnic party is a misnomer. Gabriel Almond has pointed out that 'particularistic parties' like the ethnic party are more like pressure groups. 2 In India, however, exclusivist ethnically oriented parties like Akali Dal, Asom Ghana Parishad etc.
