Sikkim: Endangered By Red China (2)

Report on the military tension on the border between Sikkim and China reveals the vulnerability of the small Indian protectorate.

Report on the military tension on the border between Sikkim and China reveals the vulnerability of the small Indian protectorate. Film of a few Chinese soldiers with cameras gives no indication of the size of the enemy forces. King Palden Thondup Namgyal assumes that Chinese wish to tie down Indian troops away from the Pakistan border. Chinese would however have little difficulty in invading this backward Buddhist Kingdom where schoolchildren (at the Scottish Mission) are taught air raid drill and where adults appear disaffected with their ruler and resentful of their Indian protectors.

Very candid reliving the history of my time. But I didn't like attitude of Ms Hamilton who was 35 years old then towards Tibetan Refugees. She said over and over again that stories of atrocities carried out toTibetan Lama's may or may not be true. Who in right state of mind will leave their home, family and country to be a homeless, beggar and stateless in a alien land. I don't know for sure but she had the typical British mentality of British Raj in India and may be a British Agent in Sikkim.
