- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- Kalimpong, a bustling busy town set on the foothills and deep valleys of the Himalayas is one of the important tourist destinations of the hilly region. The town is at present a district of the state of West Bengal. But once upon a time, in the historical books, we find it in the Kingdom of Sikkim and then again under the rule of Bhutan Empire. How did it become a part of it? What could be the origin of the word ‘Kalimpong?’ Who ruled in this beautiful landscape of lush greenery? What was the situation among the kings in early 18th century? Let’s find out with The Cord’s exclusive on “How Kalimpong was once a part of Bhutan?”

I was born in Kalimpong! Thank you Cord for sharing the history of my birthplace
I'm a Bangali from Nadia, I visited Kalimpong last year and I fall in love with Kalimpong and it's people, very humble and caring people 😌 ❤️ hope the tourists will obey the Pahari protocols properly.
Initiative to explore the history of Sikkim is indeed great step.
Sikkim as an independent kingdom was ruled by Lepchas before the advent of Chogyal dynasty that started in 1604 . Before Chogyal dynasty Lepcha king Ponu Hobam was the supreme authority. He was being assisted by Thekongtek a wise and intelligent person. Lepcha is actually the real master of Sikkim . Most of the name of places in Sikkim and Darjeeling and even kalimpong are in Lepcha language. For example , Sonada a small town in Darjeeling means a place of shelter of wild bear. Kurseong a big town on way to Siliguri means a place of white orchid blooming area. Mirik means a place where a wild fire occured. Pokriabong means huge size bamboos grown place. List ate innumerable.
How did lechas kingdom fallen to the Chogyal dynasty has another long interesting history which is not available as such .
Ya even sevoke came from Lepcha word
You simply can't call a tribal Chief a King, learn the difference first,
I just hope that Bengalis don't exploit these regions (Kalimpong and Darjeeling) and impose their language on them....Just like UP was exploiting the Gharwal region (now Uttarakhand), Punjab exploiting the Himachal region and Bihar exploiting the Dhanbad region before getting separated. Also, Sikkim has already fallen...u will barely find any Lepcha, Bhutia, or Limboo there with any representation at any place, all have been occupied by Nepalese immigrants. Even the native languages of Sikkim have already died and they speak only Nepali.
Wtf ,What was your motive and where did you drag you message at last ,Why are you so jealous or angry for Nepali people's,don't you even know that Sikkim, Darjeeling & Kalimpong belongs to Bhutia ,Lepcha & Nepali ..we have been living peacefully since the history..
You are a peace of shit with narrow mentality,grow up kiddo ..
Nepalies are not Immigrants,What did Gorkhas did for the motherland India ..could you able to pay back those sacrifices,Bloods ,Life's, ...The Lepchas & Bhutias who lives in Darjeeling & Kalimpong still support for GORKHALAND,They think themself as Gorkhas ,May be Sikkimese Bhutia & Lepchas don't think them self as Nepali but They still love them as own brother & have been living a life peacefully with Nepalies. intermarriages are so common in them ..but you are a poison who is trying to break the peace Among the Tribes of Darjeeling, Sikkim & Kalimpong..
Don't warry you gonna pay back for your deeds ,Coz God is watching over you and your works .. Believe me bro
KARMA RETURNS
It’s a blessing to be born at a place with such great history and culture
Cheers to the ancestors for their glory
No hard feelings for loosing to the British . Thanks to that we are all Indian by default the economy and freedom in india is much better then some of our neighbours, part of a greater and bigger nation now . 🇮🇳
💪🏻
Shout out to all the people from Kalimpong ❤️. Sikkim ❤️ Darjeelin❤️
We had, we have and we always will . 💪🏻
So you also agree that during the time of King Tenzung before Chhoddar's exile to Tibbet present day Kalimpong and Dooars regions were part of Sikkim. ? BEARING IN MIND THE STRUGGLE OF THE Gorkhas for a separate State I would strongly suggest that according to the historical facts Darjeeling Silgadi Kalimpong Dooars should be reunited with Sikkim and given a new name Bharatiya Gorkhaland on the basis of.majority Gorkhali Population in the whole region. That will give the Gorkhas Identity & Dignity as Indians.
It does not matter weather Kalimpong was or wasn’t a part of Bhutan, many Bhutanese have studied there and so have I. The two share a very close friendship.
It doesn't matter whether they share a very close friendship. It matters weather Kalimpong was or wasn't part of Bhutan. Many Bhutanese royals and commoners have studied there.
@@bramstokes7156 Nepal king and Bhutan king with their aristocratic families have also studied in Darjeeling through INDIAN CURRENCIES . Don't you know that ?
JAI SIKKIMESE LEPCHA , BHUTIA , NEPALI
JAI SIKKIM ,
JAI GORKHALAND .
But Bhutanese must have studied in Kalimpong with INDIAN CURRENCIES . Weren't they ?
JAI SIKKIMESE LEPCHA , BHUTIA , NEPALI
JAI SIKKIM ,
JAI GORKHALAND .
Lots of ❤️ from kalimpong
Thank you sir for my home place history ❤️🔥
Lepcha king Gyabu Achok is lepcha king before chogyal dynasty....damsang gari and dalim gari is the main fort....lepcha king had to protect this land from bhutan king during the time king gyabu achok was the king of sikkim, kalimpong, siliguri and Darjeeling....later after the demise of gyabu achok the next lepcha king and queen thikung tek and nikung nal was approached by the bhutia king khebongsa and asked Thikung Tek and Nikung Nal for the land to live and later with the brotherhood treaty bhutia got permission to live in sikkim kalimpong and Darjeeling like that the rise of bhutia king dynasty came into existence....this brotherhood treaty was held in a place called phensong sikkim a cow was slaughtered and in the name of cow's blood this treaty was solaminised....you can see the statue of unity in phensong or one is in MG marg gangtok which is kept in a hall which is opposite to the traffic police booth beside old state Bank of India....
I agree
Bro your dates don’t match
Gyabo achok 1660- 1676
Chogyal dynast started in 1642 by phuntsok Namgyal ( Sikkim was established)
Unless people had time travel back then .
@@norbudawa2615if it is so then how come khyabongsa asked thikung tek and nikung nal for a land to live in sikkim if bhutia king were more primitive??
Please talk with solid evidence
@@norbudawa2615 need ans for my question

Such a wonderful information about our Hometown Kalimpong. Thanks for bringing it into light and reveal the valued facts about this beautiful hill town. 🎉to
Yo-Yo Hang king of Then Limbowans daughter who married Tensung Namgyal was Thukmamukma who later coined the word Sukhim meaning "new house" which later became Sikkim.
Ya. Before it limboos used to call it chungjung.
Our grandparents used to say Sukhim. Love from 🇳🇵
Would like a video on the clashes between Koch and Bhutanese kingdoms throughout history. Also a video on Nara Narayan and Chilarai(Shukladhwaj) and how they conquered the North East and Eastern Himalayas.
Also would like a similar video on Darjeeling and how it was under Sikkim and then Nepal and then under the British.
Why ? Want to play more divide and rule ?
Limbus are quite rare. I mean its difficult to find someone from own caste its great to hear that we were actually from noble family.
Shout out to all from and around Kalimpong. We will forever thrive.
My great late King of that time has taken great decision, and it was all for happiness of Bhutanese people .
Long Live Our Beloved Kings.
Long Live Wangchuck Dynasty.
🙏
Bahot hi achha raha ye video. Kafi jankari mila. Thanks a lot. 👌

Peaceful coexistence is the key, that's all history taught us...
Please make a video on west dooars there's a little that we know about our history.
great work.
still more to go.
As far as we know, it was first called Mayel Lyang(the hidden Paradise) frm Sikkim and all the Lepcha dominated parts.
after that came Denzong(the valley of Rice) and it goes on..
then Sukhim, then later came to known as Sikkim..
keep posting
thank u
Limboos used to call it chungjung way before all these words.
My home town❤
Very well presented. Thank you for the accuracy in content. Please mention about Lepcha king Gyalpo Ajok & the battles at Daling fort ( dalimkote ) .
Your research should be appreciated… as far as history of Kalimpong is concerned …I opine that you cannot ignore the Lepchas and their history….. in thus video u have have mentioned names like Damsagree/Dalimgree/KP Tamsang… which are names of historical places and figure….
Hope to see ur video on Lepchas and their legacy….
Thank u 🙏🏻 I
What a 12:11 minutes every second valuable all the time respect 💕🙏
Sukhim word was in place untill around 1975, my grandfather and father used to mention Sukhim only. Thank you Cord for detailed analysis.

Resourceful article....
Appreciation from Bengal
Limboo is part of Gorkha community. FYI.Current development is tension in Sikkim. History is that the majority population of Gorkhas votes (whose mother language is Nepali) using which govt of india tactically added Sikkim country as 22nd state of India in 1975 but in return Govt of India and Supreme court labelled this Gorkha community still as "foreigners from Nepal". There is nothing painful as this. Govt of India should fix it's mentality before it's too late.
👍
See their is a very simple thing Original peoples of Sikkim And Darjeeling are Lepchas they were the son of the soil ...but Gorkhas invalided Sikkim and Darjeeling and harshly tortured over Lepchas and drained them out of Sikkim they are now Endengered tribe in Sikkim...and after that also shamelesly Gorkhas demand for Darjeeling ..it's just like I forcefully invalided my Neighbours House past some years ago and I just snatched their land and Home and drained them out from their own house ..and the same me is now playing victim card and demanding for another Land in my neighbour....Wow
@@andugandu4909 limbu's are the original inhabitants of west Sikkim. They had their own kingdoms before the establishment of namgyal dynasty in Sikkim
@@nischalwanem48 Yeah but that doesn't mean that they have the right to torture the Lepchas
@@andugandu4909 they never tortured the lepchas. There's literally 0 evidences to prove it .
Bhutan makes a big issue of Chinese incursions but never about land captured by India 😅
Bhutan captured which free by India
Great work.... Iiked both the content n the presentation. Thank you 🙏💐
Damsang fort is located at Pedong and not gorubathan (though both places fall under the present kalimpong District of West bengal)
I have been to the fort many times during my schooling days.
Damsang Mela(fair) is organized every year during the spring season.
Hats off to you...very mii.i.nute and detailed information you shared...thanks
Thanks for video
My Home ❤.
Accha laga aur Anya Jankarey ke lieya intajar me rahaonge
Thanks u mha bro
Good information came to many things plz let's us know about Raj bonshi of our west Bengal too
Kalimpong a part of Sikkim. And Sikkim as a part of India 🇮🇳.
Awesome keep uploading
The entire North Bengal except for the region near Darjeeling was a part of greater Assam.. its a sad reality..
There is a rock in our area where 1826 is inscribed in English. It is believed that Britishers did this when they invaded Damsang fort.

👏🙌👍very useful and informative 👍.
Kalimpong Darjeeling most join with Sikkim and try to make powerful State.. old greater Sikkim is comprising Eastern Nepal, Tibet, Kalimpong, Darjeeling, Bhutan etc ...today's Kirat Country+Limbuwan Country+Sherpa Country+Tibetan Country+Lepcha Country and many other Tribal Country but present days greater Sikkim is impossible but ...if possible Indian government most try to Merge Darjeeling Kalimpong with Sikkim....
Lol 😂
Thank you “the cord” for such a descriptive video. Your videos certainly increase knowledge of Himalayan teriorities to other parts of our country. 👍
Sikim is originally sukhim which means some kind of home in limbu language and lepcha and bhutiyas were limbu brothers
Love from kalimpong
Nice work bro, more places requested
Sensitive topic to bring it up.
Sensitive plus dividing the community....
Amezing discussion and also presentation
Well Narrated Man ... informative ... thanks for the efforts... appreciated
This shows that Tibet was a free country and never under China
Great work
Where is Limbuwan? 80% agreed 👍
India colonize Sikkim over night when Indira Gandhi sent army and arrested the king and stationed army in early 1970s.
Good delivery, content, good work
I still hear stories of my great-grandmother who never came back from Bhutan
Thank you sir your massage
Without the story of Nepali diaspora to Kalimpong, history is a bit incomplete not covering majority of population group
Great information thanks👍👍👍
Kalimpong-once known as "Kali-Phu- meaning "Vajrayana Cave". Darjelling- known as "Dorji-Ling- Meaning- Hill of Vajra" its Bhutanese territory but in midst of the 19th and 20th century, it was ceded for the time being. We will have to wait, one day it will be come back as our territory. Pelden Drukpa Gyelo, Long live Bhutan 🐉and glory to Drukpas 🐉🐉🐉🐲
im a Bhutanese..i fear Bhutan itself will become a part of china one day..
You don't know much history about Kalimpong and Darjeeling which were parts of Sikkim and Ancient History of GORKHALAND . Search about Anglo - Gorkha War which occurred in between 1814 to 1816 . Fact is fact that Kalimpong was part of Sikkim and is part of GORKHALAND .
Long live Sikkim and Gorkhaland , India and glory to Indians . When China tries to attack Bhutan then Bhutan needs Indian Armies .
JAI GURKHA , JAI GORKHA , JAI NEPAL , JAI HINDUSTAN .
@KingchumAdenmooRong Do you know that people of Darjeeling , Kalimpong , Terai - Dooars are still asking for Gorkhaland as a separate Indian State from West Bengal Government . They are not asking for Bhutan . My lad know the history properly . Kalimpong is in India , not in Bhutan presently .
JAI HIND , JAI SIKKIM , JAI GORKHALAND .
@KingchumAdenmooRong Bro you know that in Kalimpong , Damber Singh Gurung Chowk is the place from Kalimpong from were Gorkha leader came to forefront in freedom movement of India . He was the founder of Akhil Bharatiya Gorkha League , a political party , in 1943 , before India got Independent from British rule . So , till now people of Gorkhaland Territorial Administration ( GTA ) in India are asking for separate Indian State Gorkhaland . Do you agree the fact . Truth is truth , we just can't deny the fact . If you talk about Anglo - Gurkha War also , then Kalimpong , Darjeeling , Terai - Dooars was part of Sikkim . Before Anglo - Bhutan War in 1864 , Kalimpong was part of Sikkim , not of Bhutan . Go through history thoroughly . Even Nepal captured the part of Sikkim in the past if we know the history . But later Nepal captured Sikkim's portions were returned back to Sikkim , now India . That's why GTA are asking for Gorkhaland . Do yo understand what I'm saying . It's just a simple logic .
Heh , you guy are you fron Bhutan ? If not then why are your comments going for the Bhutan . The way you reply seems you are from Bhutan , isn't it ? If not then where are you from ?
I m thankfull to you for educating me on history of Kalimpong
Aboriginal tribe of kalimpong sikkim and Darjeeling are Lepchas 👍👍
and bhutias, no doubt hilly region of darjeeling sikkim was majorly inhabited by lepchas but moutain region across the himalaya is has always been originally inhabited by tibetic people which other than archeological evidences can found in the folk song of other local tribe like lepchas, imboos, in nepal gurungs, magar, in uttarkhand and himalchal bist and negis etc. so yes lepchas can be considered true aboriginal tribe of sikkim only when if you create a new state by totally giving up the khangchendzgonga base region( north sikkim)
Aboriginal of west sikkim, south Sikkim , west darjeeling r limboo, for east , north sikkim, east darjeeling r lepcha. There is also record of mangar in sikkim, darjeeling after limboo, lepcha. For terai of darjeeling it's dhimal( plain limboo), bodo. Then Bhutias founded sikkim with kirat, lepcha, bhutia treaty. Lepcha not sole aborigin. It's just that lepchas most place falls in todays sikkim, darjeeling. While limboos 70 pc teritorry went to gorkha kingdom, 30 pc to sikkim, darjeeling. If u went to which is earliest tribe, it could be limboo too considering bigger population of limboo n called kirat historically. Name given by plain indo Aryan to eastern himalaya people in ancient times. It might be possible some lepcha clans absorbed to limboo.

Not only kalimpong, Sikkim was captured during the reign of Third king of Bhutan. As his majesty's wife is from Sikkim, he ordered to release .
First viewer 🔥
Ilam district of Nepal, kalimpong Darjeeling were ruled by Lepcha. But Bhutan annexed it’s territory.
Information is great and very interesting, but the present is India. India first with all its states and UT, and our state identity next.
Jai Hind, Jai Bharat 🇳🇪
Why there is Bhutan house in kalimpong?
Well for real Kalimpong, Darjeeling (Darjyolyang), parts of sikkim were inhabitants to Lepchas not Bhutan actually, it was only in late 1500/1600 Bhutan monarchy apprehended sikkim and parts of North Bengal after execution of last Lepcha king "Punu Gabeo Achyok" In Damsang fort (present pedong) then later joined as a part of India in may 16 1975.!!
Perhaps I'm glad towards your work/Research.
Much love ❤🏳
Dorjeling
Dar jyu lyang. Lepchas performed rites in observatory hill. Tibetans occupied the land and made a monastery way later. Next the Gorkha invaders made it into Mahakal mandir. Today its both a Buddhist and Hindu site.
1st Dar jyu lyang (etymology)
2nd dor je ling(tibeticized)
3rd Darjeeling(anglicised) ee is stressed
4th Darjiling(Nepalese pronunciation) (less pronounced and stressed compared to English phonetic)
@@bramstokes7156 KHAMBU PEOPLE actually worship there in place of LEPCHA from B.C.
KHAMBU were ruling from TRISHULI to TISTA.
MAHAKAL is HINDU WORD . So Gorkhali ( Nepalese ) people used to call in war "" JAI MAHAKALI , AAYO GORKHALI "" . So what about SIKKIM HISTORY and GORKHALAND HISTORY . COME TO THE POINTS .
JAI SIKKIM ,
JAI GORKHALAND .

Do a video on how Assam which was always an independent state became a part of British India in 1826 later on parts of Assam was given to west and east Bengal present day bangladesh
Are you Assamese?
True
Watch it in 1.25× speed
No its Part of Nepal ,Before the sugauli treaty 1816 the territory to the edges of Teesta river is parts of Nepal in the east and sutlej river in the west
The Treaty of Sugauli was signed between Nepal and the East India Company in 1815 and ratified by 4 March 1816. By the treaty, Nepal renounced all claim to the disputed Terai, or lowland country, and ceded its conquests west of the Kali River and extending to the Sutlej River. { Tarai area (particularly in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand) }
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nepal gurkha army was defeated badly when they tried to capture kalimpong .that's when east India company came and signed treaty of sugauli . Nepalese were sent back
