not all of them are India
by Dipak Bose on Jul 16, 2008 07:43 AM

About 70 percent of the people of Sikkim including the Chief Minister Pawan Chamling are not India but Nepalese, who took over Sikkim taking advantage of the 1950's Indo-Nepal Treaty. They also took over Darjeeling and now want Gurkhaland, by driving out all non-Nepalese.
It was a mistake for India to take over Sikkim. Bhutan recently expelled all Nepalese. The Chowgial of Sikkim could have done that too; possibly that was the reason Nepalese people created agitations and Indira Gandhi took advantage of that, which was a mistake.
Now we have to pay the price. Nepal is expanding. Sikkim is already a part of it. Now they want Darjeeling and North Bengal as well.
Nepalese are not India by definition. It is high time to cancel the Indo-Nepal Treaty and get rid of the Nepalese.
