I hope to get more into this subject in the future (it has been on my 'to do' list for a while) but in the meantime the Radical Royalist has provided some valuable information on the seemingly forgotten Kingdom of Sikkim, an independent monarchy absorbed by the Republic of India. Read about the 85th birthday of the last king (with a great deal of historical information in general about the lost kingdom) and "For Goodness Sake, He's the King".

Remember Sikkim
I hope to get more into this subject in the future (it has been on my 'to do' list for a while) but in the meantime the Radical Royalist has provided some valuable information on the seemingly forgotten Kingdom of Sikkim, an independent monarchy absorbed by the Republic of India. Read about the 85th birthday of the last king (with a great deal of historical information in general about the lost kingdom) and "For Goodness Sake, He's the King".
I confess I was one of those who knew nothing of this place. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHaving a general interest in the region it would not have escaped my notice but it is also true that I only first became aware of the former nation of Sikkim because their last queen was an American and of course that made some news back when she married the last King of Sikkim.
