In a huge development, the Supreme Court on Wednesday removed the observations from its judgment that described Sikkimese-Nepalese persons as “people of foreign origin”. The fine print in the observations attached with the Supreme Court’s January 13 verdict over tax laws had caused a furore in Sikkim following a controversial portion authored by Justice Nagarathna.
But what was at the core of the issue of the conflict? Was it driven by years of neglect instigated by political interests? Was the history of Sikkim disregarded? What kept the people from uniting? Who are Sikkimese? Why is the Sikkimese society so divided?
To understand the issue better, EastMojo Editor-in-Chief Karma S Paljor spoke to Kharga Bahadur Rai, president of the Sikkim Republican Party.
