Independent Sikkim state.

The last flag is flag from 1967.The independent flag is based on Sikkim three flags tradition from 1877-1967.The flag from 1967-1975 is not real flag of Sikkim.It is the flag of Sikkim traitors and their Indian lords.


AD 1817 The intervention by British India following their war with Nepal, and the signing of the Treaty of Titaliya between British India and Sikkim restores some of the Nepalese occupied territory though not all.
AD 1828 British Commercial Resident of Malda, J. W. Grant, and Captain Lloyd visit the Darjeeling area in a matter concerning a dispute between Nepal and Sikkim. Quick to notice the position of Darjeeling as a prospective hill resort and an outpost for trade with Tibet, they forward the proposal to their government.
AD 1835 Darjeeling is leased from the Sikkim Raja for a fee of Rs. 3,000 per annum.
AD 1850 1900 Darjeeling becomes famous in the Raj as a hill station and a sanatorium. Trade with Tibet develops and tea estates flourish all around its hilly slopes. In 1865 Kalimpong is ceded by the British Indian Empire from Bhutan, and vies with Sikkim and Darjeeling as a Tibetan trading post.
AD 1889 1889: Claude White becomes the Political Officer in Sikkim with a task to keep a tight rein on the activities of the Sikkim Raja and hisministers. Soon after, a number of intriguing incidents occur. Twoheirs apparent to the throne of Sikkim die in mysterious circumstances, leaving the throne in the hands of princes second-in-line, who by royal decree had actually been groomed for monkhood.
AD 1914 Oxford educated Sidkeong Tulku, the 10th Chogyal ascends to the throne introducing administrative and political reforms but his rule is short-lived. He dies within a year of enthronement. His succeeded by his brother, Tashi Namgyal.
AD 1930 -1950s Pilot Officer Crown Prince Paljor Namgyal takes up bomber duty in the Royal Indian Air Force and is killed in action during World War II, while on the home front some disgruntled Sikkimese start a peoples movement to do away with the feudal system and are successful. The king takes refuge in the Political Officers residency and asks to be reinstated to his throne. Conceding to certain demands of the P.O., Sir Tashi Namgyals throne is restored and the 30-day republic annulled. In 1949, the Indian government installs a Dewan from its side to serve as the states chief administrative officer.
AD 1962 China attacks India. There is a massive build-up of Indian troops inside Sikkim.
AD 1963 Crown Prince Palden Thondup Namgyal marries American debutante Hope Cooke in a spectacular fairytale-like ceremony covered by Time/Life and National Geographic capturing world attention for a moment.
AD 1965 Death of Sir Tashi Namgyal. Palden and Hope succeed to the throne as Chogyal and Gyalmo.
AD 1973 Lhendup Dorji Kazi, a former Sikkim Council member leads a peoples-agitation against the monarchy making demands for a one-man one-vote system. To maintain parity between the Bhutia-Lepcha minority (25%) and the Nepalese majority (75%), a single Bhutia-Lepcha vote was equivalent to six Nepali votes. The palace administration collapses paving way for Sikkims merger to the Indian Union and for Kazi Lhendup Dorji to becomes its first Chief Minister.

Let us see what would sikkim be if it wasnt part of india..i want to ask all the people here who r ridiculing india aswhat if sikkim would have been taken over by china the way it took over Tibet..understood that china is a more developed nation but tell me how much of freedom would Sikkim and sikkimese people would have had under China....i think people of sikkim are enjoying almost every freedom and rights that is given to all the indian citizens in any state in India..

[matheona]

@sauravdaga100 Don´t compare China and India.China is not agresor for Sikkim!!!India is agresor!!!There is no freedom in Sikim as 22nd India state from 16 May 1975.India ! Turn back independence to Sikkim! Sikkim kingdom is still alive be sure.However Sikkim was independent kingdom when India was just British colony!!!UK made great misstake to let India as a One state.Lots of nations live in national unfreedom in present mega India state.This is just real truth! Have a nice days Your matheona

i know india is a pain in a ass for all neighbour countries. it is united by british lords. the world know this fact. .thats why they are still called East indies or india. Britain has captured thoose neighbours land and it is their duty to give it back /return to them while they return back from india.

Hi there,

Thanks for ur support but now if i think back, although i wasnt born then i think it was a good change,otherwise how would many of the childrens succeed like they did after '75' which includes my father...and things like slavery which hit every one be it Bhutias,Lepchas and the Nepalis by the hands of the Kazi's back then i mean the opportunity was thrown open which was till then only exclusive for the aristocrats ....

[matheona]

@karma10pa The Majority of Sikkim people is down and this is real truth.However I respect your opinion and I understand you......Who say for Sikkim freedom and indepenedce is not safe .India is Nazi state and I know Indian gestapo in Gangtok!!!!Secret police of India in Sikkim.

@munkyraju

Oh dear! I just loved your conspiracy theory!

Lets make a "fictitious" film on it!

[munkyraju]

@vic86m go read the memoirs of RAW agents to understand that RAW spent 3 years laying the ground work and creating discontent within sikkim that led to the merger. oh and the protesters came from darjeeling and many of them were CRPF jawans in plain clothes. oh yeas one more thing the CRPF had to lathi charge protesters so that LD Kazi could give away his country. peace and good wishes to your utter ignorance

[vic86m]

This video is misleading.

It was through a plebiscite, a people's wish to amalgamate sikkim into Indian Union.

So now, Sikkim is a NON-NEGOTIABLE part of India..

Even China has recognized Sikkim as part of India, so there is no question of an Independent state! It is already a state of Independent India!

@karma10pa When u were not born, how can u say dat? And come on, slavery has expanded with rising population so keep ur eyes open and get ur facts right.

[boronghousegtk]

@boronghousegtk Anyways, looks like after studying in an English University, Indira became a bitch when she went out there in the bitchland. I pray for her, good luck crazy bitch.

[boronghousegtk]

@sauravdaga100 so sorry saurav but it isn't about how sikkim became india, it is about how INDIRA, and Indira not India took over Sikkim. She showed what a bitch she was and she died like one. And look around, the beauty of Sikkim is gone and if u hate the chinese so much, i know I do, why are u trying to be like them and take over helpless people. Didn't u learn that from the white sahibs?

[rajtimilsina100]

Sikkim rocks!!!!
