Abstract:

In pre-era, many tribes reside in a small kingdom of Eastern Himalaya. Lepcha or Rong as they like to call themselves are the indigenous inhabitant of Sikkim long before outsiders namely Tibetans, Nepalese came to the land. Sikkim merged with the Indian Union in later half of the 20th century, May 16th 1975 to be precise. Unlike other ethnic groups, Lepcha claim themselves as an indigenous inhabitant of Sikkim. A land in Dzongu is treated as sanctity by Lepcha people but today the same land has been used for other purposes. Major effect of the hydel project can be divided into four sub section

Abstract:

The Mutanchis, known by their derogatory exonymic term ‘Lepcha’, are autochthonous to Sikkim, India. The name ‘Mutanchi’ derives from the phrase ‘Mutanchi Rumkup Rongkup’, eliciting the response ‘Achulay’, meaning ‘Beloved children of It-bu-mu, who have come from the snowy peaks’. The nomenclature prompts an ontological understanding rooted in the community’s eco-geographical context. Despite possessing a well-developed script categorised within the Tibeto-Burman language family, the Mutanchis remain a largely oral community. Their diminishing, scarcely documented repository of Mutanchi clan n

Abstract:

Abstract The workers toiling at the construction of a castle were guided by master builders. The expertise of a master builder was accumulated by being a wood worker or masonry/rammed earth builder in villages. Ancient builders chose inaccessible and commanding elevations to build dzongs while modern architects and engineers selected the flattest places. Builders’ skills were visible to foreigners who noted that the lofty height of the utse of Tashi Chodzong reached seven stories high, each story from fifteen to eighteen feet high. The layout of oblong classical dzongs is contrasted with the s

Abstract:

Abstract Deep in the forest lies a network of derelict mule tracks connecting Bhutan, Tibet, and India, and those connecting different settlements in Bhutan. The network came to strategic traffic points at bridges and passes. Bridges were especially secured to tax traders and check movements. Dzongs or castles came to be built next to major bridges because these castles could be guarded better by controlling bridges. Access to Bhutan was through snow mountain passes in the north, and from the 18 Duars Bhutan held, through door-like passes from the plains of Assam and Bengal into mountainous Bh

Abstract:

For the last decade, Dzongu, a reserve of the Indigenous Lepchas in Sikkim, has been the site of a youth-led anti-dam movement that pushed the state to cancel four of seven proposed projects within the reserve. Even as Dzongu youth were celebrated by activists and scholars, the cancellation of these projects divided opinions and loyalties within the reserve. This chapter attends to the sharpest of fault lines—the divide between the older generation of panchayat and state officials, and the younger generation of activists, through a focus on two specific instances of this generational divide.
