    History Of Sikkim

     Sikkim was a Buddhist kingdom under the Namgyal-Chogyal dynasty from


    1642 to 1975.
    Time and again the little kingdom had to defend itself against attacks from
    Nepal. 1835 the area of Darjeeling - that had been part of Sikkim until then
    - was annexed by British India. Sikkim was a protectorate first of British
    India and after its independence in 1947 of India. With foreign policy and
    national defense in the hands of India the political influence of Sikkim
    became more severely restricted when the new Constitution came into
    force in 1955. Bureaucrats planned to bring the monarchy to an end in
    1973 and India in turn, increased its influence. The Chogyal (king who
    governs with righteousness) Palden Namgyal Thodup was crashed in 1975
    and Sikkim merged with India as its 22nd state.
