I found a very interesting video that revels the military tension on the border between Sikkim and China during the reign of King Palden Thondup Namgyal somewhere around in 1960's.Those days India controlled Sikkim's Defence! The interesting part of video is that it contains the interview of King Namgyal.The King talks about the Sikkim-China issue and also his concern about the possible Chinese trouble to Sikkim in future.King assumes that Chinese wish to tie down Indian troops away from the Pakistan border
The Second Video shows about Sikkim's preparation to strengthen its "Internal Security".Schoolchildren (at the Scottish Mission) are taught air raid drill and where adults appear disaffected with their ruler and resentful of their Indian protectors.The School shown in the video is presently Plajor Namgyal Girl's School,Gangtok(if i am wrong please correct me!).
The video is really informative and interesting!
Please do comment!
