Well, because they are part of India, perhaps it won't be as huge and as clusterous a disaster as Sri Lanka doing the same thing.

In the mid-1970s I was working at a nonprofit book publisher in NYC. Our executive director position was open, and the former queen of Sikkim, Hope Cooke Nahuatl, applied and was one of the finalists for the job. No, her resume didn’t include the job of Queen but said she was the head of some royal cultural organization for the kingdom.

Some of the classical and medieval Indian empires were quite centralized for their time period, they just didn’t last. It’s mostly the same reason Italy didn’t unite for quite some time; other powers kept messing about in their peninsula. Foreign invasions from the Persians, mongols, the Timurids, and many others would come in long enough to sack a few cities and leave the empire of the week in north India unstable and prone to collapse.

There's something about Italy that people don't get from northern countries. Italy didn't have the "reconquista" where the northern Gothic German culture replaced the Semitic influence to the south. Italy was sandwitched by the Papal States in the middle so the northern Lombardian culture had much difficulty penetrating the south. Today the southern Italian lifestyle is reminiscent of Arab countries - wives live with in-laws, cuisine and art are more attractive than business and engineering, people are tribal and rely on impressing their own communities, families live together in a single home - these traits are generally un-European, let alone northern Italian.

The Crown Prince of Sikkim, Tenzing Namgyal, was head of house when I went to Harrow; his younger brother, Wangchuk, was also in the house, and his cousin, Prince Shungden Yuthok, was one of half a dozen new boys joining with me - if I recall correctly he was one day younger than me. The annexation came as a real surprise, totally unexpected, but it was effectively in April 1973 when the Chogyal's reign as an absolute monarch was brought to an abrupt end, although it wasn't formalised until two years later as explained here. I recall a notice being pinned on the house noticeboard and Shungden (known as Tenzing) quickly leaving the school very early to go home to Sikkim. Tenzing, the Crown Prince, died in a car accident in 1978 and his younger brother, Wangchuk, became Crown Prince then later Chogyal (King) when his father died in 1982 - both were sons of the Chogyal's first wife, Sanyo Sangideki, who died young, not his second, Hope Cooke (100% an American, not a Canadian) who was divorced from the Chogyal in 1980, two years before he died. Wangchuk was crowned the 13th Chogyal in Sikkim after his father's death, but he's been a reclusive Buddhist monk since then, in Sikkim and Bhutan (he and the King of Bhutan are cousins).

A kingdom established in 1642 can hardly be called ancient please. Today it is the fastest growing small state of the union of India with a TFR that matches Portugal

0:27 when it comes to establishing countries, 1642 isn't 'a long time ago'. 1642 is relatively recent in the world of states. most of the countries of today were already known in one form or another back in 1642. even most of the very modern creations after decolonisation.

When the British ruled India (Indian sub-continent), they administered some areas (40% to half the area) themselves and allowed native princely states to have (almost full) autonomy. The relationship was that of a vassal, in which the vassal takes care of the manpower needs of the suzerain (the viceroy) as well as meeting some substantial expenses in the Indian wars. Virtually there was no revenue accruing from these princely states and the prince-lings were left alone to enjoy all their earnings to lead lavish life-styles. The British policy was to advance the Imperial goals, but never to interfere in the nitty-gritty of administering the people. No such princely state is a "nation" in that respect, that would have a direct relationship with the (English) Crown. In that, most (if not all) these states belong to India & to the Indian people - that they'd revert to the Indians there, after the "lapse of paramountcy" (that happened in 1947, August 15). That throws up interesting questions. Do the two (successor) dominions inherit "all" the rights the (English) Crown enjoyed, as the English king or queen, concurrently happens to be the "emperor" of India? Or are there nuances in the relationship after the lapse of paramountcy? Can an entity (princely state) attempt to become an independent country (like what Maharaja of Kashmir attempted or Nizam of Hyderabad unsuccessfully did)? Do the people there, want to join India charting a common destiny? It happened with the tiny French & Portuguese possessions, where in, the people overthrew their regimes & declared independence, "to join India". The rule is the same for any princely state. India drew a hierarchy for internal administration, with the entities clustered under categories A, B & C. Sikkim was attached to the Indian Union (dominion of India) as Part D state. That was until her people overthrew their ruler & joined India.

I am proud of what india did in hyderabad by annexing it and therefore preventing pakistan from gaining strategic advantage over india and fund further balkanisation of the indian state. BTW Hyderabad violated all clauses of the standstill agreement in external affairs, by carrying out intrigues with Pakistan, to which it secretly loaned 15 million pounds; in defence, by building up a large semi-private army; in communications, by interfering with the traffic at the borders and the through traffic of Indian railways. Portugal started hostilities by shooting at indian fishermen resulting in a death. Shame on you to draw conclusions from a youtube video. Shame on you *spits*

Sikkim was already part of India. They had just one more power than rest of states. Every state in India have some form of autonomy. Central government and state government have set of powers definded in our constitution.

The funny thing is, Mainland China claims Sikkim always wanted to join China and did seek for help but China rejected it But I have a friend living there which told me they just regarded China as a neighbouring country and actually nobody wants to join them. And insisted the question should be: Were they happy with India. You just can't trust Mainland Chinese medias.😂😂😂

That's because you don't know what's really happening in the borders. This is the correct map.

There are numerous other states in india which once used to be major players. For example 1 Chola king in present day state of Tamil nadu which are considered to be one of the longest kingdom by time of existence 2) ahom in northeast india (Odd compass has a very good video on it) 3) hyderabad which wasnt always independent but is still pretty unique 4) dozen or so city states in the thar desert, present day rajasthan and some parts of pakistan. These are just a few examples

Your statement is ignorant asf, do you have slightest idea of the history of it's neighbors? Which again would be factually wrong because it has always been part of India until 1700s when most of the kingdoms in India collapsed

It was the 90’s, before internet, during my middle school years. We had this “Asian countries” assignment in Geography class. One of us had an old atlas from the 70’s or something in which Sikkim was still independent. This led to confusion and some amusement, because the name of Sikkim is really suitable to make lame jokes in my language, Turkish. The thing is Sikkim pretty much sounds like “sikim” in Turkish, which means “my d***k”. But the officials tried to avoid this effect, so they wrote it as “Sıkkım”, similar letter, different pronunciation. Unfortunately this in turn sounds like “zıkkım” that means “unpleasant, poisonous or harmful fluid” and to lesser extent such food. The jokes abounded of course. In later years, the caption of a DVD subtitle having the word “Sikkim” has become a meme around here, of course with its original spelling and more profane meaning associated with that.

Sir that's a wonderful video that I have seen today My question is was the relationship of the British Raj with Bhutan was similar to that of with Sikkim's or was it a bit different since after independence of India both Sikkim and Bhutan were given similar protectorate status but still it was Sikkim who lost it's independent status while Bhutan survived as an beautiful independent nation

@AL-lh2ht

4 ай бұрын

Bhutan was far more independent and autonomous then sikkim was, in addition as the video explains the main reason, or crisis, that made sikkim lose independence was because the majority of the population was not native and instead recent generational immigrants that had no love for sikkim royalty, so india just came in and annexed it without much issue. Basically the national identity of Sikkim died with a super majority not even being native in their hyper small nation,while Bhutan never lost its national identity.

​@@AL-lh2htmakes sense because even geographically Nepal is more attached to Sikkim compared to Bhutan that's why the Nepali migration happened while the border between Bhutan and Sikkim is largely disconnected by Tibet and also as a matter of fact that Bhutan in itself is an extrem isolated land and have acted as a buffer zone while Sikkim wasn't much isolated since it has the Nathu La pass which is in fact one of the most important area for the ancient silk route

Reason I know this nation before is in our geograpyh class teacher showing the maps and the name of mountain is the thing that I cant forget and search. I just look to that cause my native language is turkish and that name caused to much laught in our classroom. I am sorry for the people who knows what it means in turkish. Little fact consonants can used as duplicate in turkish speaking (not in writen language) for emphasis. At least google not translates it with two "k".

The involvement are crucial.

Turkic speaking people:

When India was formed in 1947, many small kingdoms/countries were given the option to join . As such India is composed of so many small countries whuch existed prior to its formation. No sure why this is a news , unless you dont know Indian history

I found out what it was whenever I got the flag by accident in a world flag lot

There is more than what meets the eye with the American Princess .

I could be mistaken as I don't know that much about this subject, but did you use the modern borders of india instead of the (rough) borders of the British Raj in the 'becoming a british protectorate" section? As the British would have roughly held control over modern day India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangeldesh and parts of Myanmar. Was there a reason that the modern Indian borders were more useful in this discusion?

Sarawak was a former sovereign nation. Maybe you can do it in the future.

Do you understand the meaning of "Annexation"? I believe you don't. India didn't annexed Sikkim. Sikkim itself asked India to be a one of Indian state. Previously the King of Nepal also requested India to be part of India but Nehru declined.
