  • THE ANGLO-SIKKIM WAR of 1861 International Insti
    BULLETIN OF TIBETOLOGY 31 “A DIFFICULT COUNTRY, A HOSTILE CHIEF, AND A STILL MORE HOSTILE MINISTER”: THE ANGLO-SIKKIM WAR OF 1861 ALEX MCKAY International Institute for Asian Studies INTRODUCTION Many gaps in our knowledge of 19th century Sikkimese history have recently been filled in.1 This paper attempts to add another piece to the jigsaw by examining the previously neglected history of the events of 1860-61, when British forces marched into Sikkim. The royal archives Saul Mullard has been cataloguing are silent on this period except for a Tibetan language copy of the eventual Treaty, and the History of Sikkim’s account is superficial. 2 This paper consequently relies primarily on the records of the British imperial government, which do, however, enable us to gain some insights into Sikkimese perspectives. BACKGROUND Following their victory in the 1815 Anglo-Nepal war, in which the Sikkimese had assisted them, the British returned to Sikkim territory I would like to dedicate this paper to my friends and colleagues, the late Yap Tashi Tobden and Khendzong Yapla (Tsering Wangchuk), tragically killed soon after the NIT Golden Jubilee conference in Gangtok in 2008. The loss of the two local figures perhaps most concerned with the Sikkimese Bhutia history is a major one. 1 See in particular the articles by John Bray, Tirtha Misra, Pema Wangchuk, and Alex McKay in Buddhist Himalaya, the Proceedings of the Namgyal Institute of Tibetology Golden Jubilee Conference, edited by Alex McKay and Anna Balikci- Denjongpa; Gangtok, 2011. 2 Personal communication, Saul Mullard (to whom my thanks are due for organising this panel at the IATS seminar in Vancouver 2010).

  • A Short Biography of Four Tibetan Lamas and Their Activities in Sikkim
    BULLETIN OF TIBETOLOGY 49 A SHORT BIOGRAPHY OF FOUR TIBETAN LAMAS AND THEIR ACTIVITIES IN SIKKIM TSULTSEM GYATSO ACHARYA Namgyal Institute of Tibetology Summarised English translation by Saul Mullard and Tsewang Paljor Translators’ note It is hoped that this summarised translation of Lama Tsultsem’s biography will shed some light on the lives and activities of some of the Tibetan lamas who resided or continue to reside in Sikkim. This summary is not a direct translation of the original but rather an interpretation aimed at providing the student, who cannot read Tibetan, with an insight into the lives of a few inspirational lamas who dedicated themselves to various activities of the Dharma both in Sikkim and around the world. For the benefit of the reader, we have been compelled to present this work in a clear and straightforward manner; thus we have excluded many literary techniques and expressions which are commonly found in Tibetan but do not translate easily into the English language. We apologize for this and hope the reader will understand that this is not an ‘academic’ translation, but rather a ‘representation’ of the Tibetan original which is to be published at a later date. It should be noted that some of the footnotes in this piece have been added by the translators in order to clarify certain issues and aspects of the text and are not always a rendition of the footnotes in the original text 1. As this English summary will be mainly read by those who are unfamiliar with the Tibetan language, we have refrained from using transliteration systems (Wylie) for the spelling of personal names, except in translated footnotes that refer to recent works in Tibetan and in the bibliography.

    International Journal of Research in Social Sciences Vol. 9 Issue 3, March 2019, ISSN: 2249-2496 Impact Factor: 7.081 Journal Homepage: http://www.ijmra.us, Email: [email protected] Double-Blind Peer Reviewed Refereed Open Access International Journal - Included in the International Serial Directories Indexed & Listed at: Ulrich's Periodicals Directory ©, U.S.A., Open J-Gage as well as in Cabell‟s Directories of Publishing Opportunities, U.S.A The Role of poliTical paRTies in sikkim’s Democratic Transition Maheshwari Kharga* The erstwhile Himalayan Kingdom of Sikkim was a feudal monarchy having feudal economic system and exploitativepolitico-administrative structures. Socio-economic disparity among the three major communities of Sikkim-Lepcha, Bhutia and Nepalese was evident in the system of landlordism, lease system, system of forced labour and their social status in the agrarian society. Nepalese being the migrant population who settled in the last decades of 19th century were not only considered as outsiders by the aboriginals and minority Lepchas and Bhutias but were also denied rights and freedom by the Chogyal (ruler).Lepchas and Bhutias were either high ranking officials or rich land lords while the Nepalese were marginal workers, sharecroppers, cultivators and tea plantation labourers.This prompted few political organizations to demand for agrarian and economic reforms in Sikkim. As the economic reforms were being gradually initiated by the Chogyal, these anti-Chogyal political parties started making political demands for the establishment of a full-fledged democratic Government in Sikkim. Sikkim State Congress (SSC), the oldest political party of Sikkim provided a democratic platform for these political parties to further pursue this demand with the Chogyal and Government of India.

RENEWABLE ENERGY IN SIKKIM RACHANA RAI1 & NEETA D. SHARMA2 1Assistant Professor, Department of Management Studies, Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology, Sikkim, India 2Associated Professor, Department of Management Studies, Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology, Sikkim, India ABSTRACT Sikkim is the least populous state in India yet it has managed to create its own niche. With the rise in global warming, erratic weather conditions and numerous diseases, a paradigm shift in renewable energy has taken place. With the formation of SREDA, Sikkim has taken a step forward in creating an awareness and encouraging the usage of renewable energy at various institutions. The paper focuses on the accomplishments of SREDA and its present status. KEYWORDS: Northeast Region, Mainstream of Renewable Energy, Developing Countries, Sikkim INTRODUCTION Sikkim is a 22nd state of India located at the Northeast region. iWith 610,577 inhabitants as of the 2011 census, Sikkim is the least populous state in India. Sikkim is nonetheless geographically diverse due to its location in the Himalayas; the climate ranges from subtropical to high alpine, and Kangchenjunga, the world's third-highest peak, is located on Sikkim's border with Nepal. Almost the entire state is hilly, with an elevation ranging from 280 meters (920 ft.) to 8,586 meters (28,169 ft.). The Lower Himalayas, lying in the southern reaches of the state, are the most densely populated. The state has five seasons: winter, summer, spring, autumn, and a monsoon season between June and September.
