Im from Sikkim and it hurts me sometimes that so much of India does not know anything about us. Thank you for this.

[BeastWitcher]

History is interesting when it is not in your syllabus...

[yogitaneo]

I'm from sikkim ... thankyou for this wonderful video .

But just about the discrimination against women thing, SIKKIM is one of the most liberal state when it comes to rights for women.

I was born in Imphal, North East India It is an awesome place. Incredible food, incredible music, incredible people. India is a collection of cultures. 👍

We need to learn more about North Eastern culture. One thing I had learnt about Sikkim people is that they prefer ecology over projects that can harm the environment.

Man I've been to Sikkim on a trip, hands down one of the most gorgeous places in India. Cities sometimes even feel like a European country.

I am from Bangladesh. I had a gaming friend from Sikkim. From then, my interest in Sikkim is increasing day by day.
I pray to Krishna, may I visit Sikkim for 1 time, in my life ♥️

[rangpo]

Sikkim is love. Most beautiful, developed and clean state. Absolutely loved it.
Amazing state 😍

[farhanasim]

I have lived in Namchi, Sikkim for almost an year and I found it to be more advanced than 85% of India.

[ericpaldenlepcha]

Being a Sikkimese I always felt unsatisfied how the central govt always hid the fact of how Sikkim was merged to the union of India. The Indian school text books includes incidents of how Hyderabad, J&K and Manipur was annexed to the union of India why not mention in detail how Sikkim was annexed.
Thanks to your video people will know the truth and knowledge will be spread.

The sheer diversity of India keeps me in an awe.. the future generations should do everything it takes in our power to preserve this diversity 🙏❤️

This is the only best channel to explore more and more about India than news

[namanmodi]

My girlfriend is from Sikkim and believe me she is the best girl I have ever met...sikkim and sikkim people are just ❤️

[happypappy]

I am always proud to be an Indian its important to know how we came to be as we are today....Thank you for your video
It was nice watching.
And my Grandpa was one of the citizen who participated in that referendum who voted for the merger🙏

[keshavjhunjhunwala]

People of Sikkim are truly one of the most noble people I have met. I got stuck at nathula pass on 31st December 2016 due to heavy snowstorm. The local people gave us shelter, food and allowed us stay the night. They did not expect anything in return. We insisted that they take some money from us, but they were still hesitant. I was truly mesmerized by their lack of greed and helpfulness. I thank the people of Sikkim, for giving us shelter that night 🙏.

That Nepali song in Satyajit's documentary, just wow.

[naturesounds]

I visited north and east sikkim few weeks ago. Such a beautiful place. Came here to know more about its history. Satisfied with your explanation. Keep it up !
Regards from Nepal🙂

[tsetenbhutia]

The content is just awesome, yes we were a country before merger however we are not a immigrant. We are happy that we live in the world’s biggest democracy.
Sometimes it just hurts while main land pupils think we “Sikkimese” are immigrants while creating Greater India

[abhishekkulkarni]

If you wouldn't have spoken in Hindi.... I wouldn't even have realised you weren't vox
