Sukhim Yakthung Sapsok Songchumbho (SYSS) Meets Secretary, Culture Department, Government of Sikkim

Today, representatives of Sukhim Yakthung Sapsok Songchumbho (SYSS) met the Secretary of the Culture Department, Government of Sikkim, at his office Manan Kendra to express their gratitude for the opportunity given to SYSS to represent Limboo culture during the Kuzu Fest held in Gangtok on 8th May 2025, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Sikkim’s statehood. SYSS proudly showcased the distinct and vibrant cultural heritage of the Limboo community during the event.

However, during the main Statehood Day celebration held at Paljor Stadium on 16th May 2025, the Limboo culture was not included in the cultural presentation. In this regard, SYSS submitted a memorandum requesting the regular inclusion of Limboo cultural performances in all state-level programs organized by the Government, similar to those of the Bhutia, Lepcha, and Nepali communities.

The SYSS delegation highlighted that the Limboos are one of the indigenous tribes of Sikkim with a rich history, unique cultural identity, and a vibrant heritage, comparable to that of the Sikkimese Bhutia and Lepcha communities.

In the memorandum, SYSS also placed a demand for the recruitment of Limboo artists in the Culture Department to ensure fair representation and promotion of the Limboo cultural tradition at the state level.

Dr.B.L khamdhak presented a lecture on Mudhum of HImalayas in Tokyo,Japan

It's truly inspiring to hear about Dr. B.L. KhamdhaK's significant academic contributions. His recent public lecture on the Limbu Mundhum of the Himalayas in Tokyo, Japan, organized by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research project, "Experimental comparative study of ancient Tibetan Indigenous Ritual Narratives and Tongpa Religious Narratives" under Nakamura Hajime Eastern Institute and Kokugakuin University.

Additionally, Dr. KhamdhaK's successful presentation at the University of Vienna in 2019 is another testament to his growing influence and the importance of his work in the field of cultural and religious studies.

His dedication to sharing the rich heritage of the Limbu people and the Himalayan region is truly admirable and greatly contributes to preserving these traditions for future generations.

Gangtok, January 25 (IPR): Earlier today, Chief Minister Mr Prem Singh Tamang met with Dr Buddhi L Khamdhak at his official residence to extend his heartfelt wishes as the distinguished scholar prepares for an inspiring academic journey to Japan.

Dr Khamdhak, a renowned expert in Limbu Mundhum and rituals, has been invited to deliver lectures at the prestigious Nakamura Hajime Eastern Institute and Kokugakuin University in Tokyo. His work in studying, classifying, and interpreting Limbu Mundhum—a crucial oral tradition of the Limbu community—has earned him widespread acclaim.

With over 14 published books covering topics on Limbu culture, language, literature, and politics, Dr Khamdhak has made significant contributions to the preservation and promotion of his community’s heritage. His expertise has also gained international recognition, having represented India at global forums and served as a visiting lecturer at the University of Vienna in 2019.

Remarkably, Dr Khamdhak is the first Limbu scholar from Sikkim to be invited to such prestigious academic fellowships in both Japan and Europe.

The Chief Minister expressed his confidence in Dr Khamdhak’s continued contributions, which will not only advance his field of study but also inspire future generations.
