Miscellaneous: 85th Birthday Anniversary of the Chogyal of Sikkim


In the Southern part of the Himalaya another occupied territory did not attract any attention at all: Sikkim. The Kingdom which had defended its independence for 300 years against powerful neighbours was annexed by India in April 1975 and became the 22nd state of the Indian Union. The 85th birthday of the 12th Chogyal of Sikkim gives me the opportunity to focus on the fate of the tiny Himalaya Kingdom.

    I think this is a very good topic that you have posted. many people dont know about Sikkim and through this we can come to know a lot about such small states. please keep on posting such useful topics.
