This web site is intended for making an appeal to the conscientious  fellow Indians in India and international communities, luminaries of international laws, luminaries of Human Rights, individuals and organisations at home and abroad including the Members of Parliament of India and that of Great Britain  for a consensus  on the relocation of the  ethnic Sikkimese Bhutias of Sikkim and Darjeeling hills of west Bengal.

 Sikkim was annexed by India in 1973.  The ethnic Sikkimese Bhutias have been facing obliteration as Sikkim is gradually being turned into a Gurkha/Nepali state. The report of the Commission for Review of Social Environmental Sector Policies (CRESP) instituted by the state Government of Sikkim is explicit.  The Legislative Assembly of Sikkim adopted the report of the commission in June 2008 by a Resolution and submitted to Government of India for order.

This is a case where a member state of the United Nations Organisation annexes a sovereign state and pursues obliteration of its people.  The obliteration of Sikkim and ethnic Sikkimese Bhutias was initiated by Great Britain.  They  cultivated the Gurkhas/ Nepalese in Sikkim and Darjeeling hills of  Bengal in the nineteenth century.  Today the Gurkhas are agitating for a separate Gurkha state comprised of Sikkim and the adjoining Darjeeling hills of Bengal.  Great Britain and India still recruited the Nepalese as Gurkhas in their respective Armies.

 In view of this the relocation of the Sikkimese Bhutias merited special consideration.  They have no representation in the parliament of India. They have been disabled by Government of India even in the Legislative Assembly of Sikkim by diluting  their ethnic identity and entity.  They have not been able to defend their case due to political intimidation and lack of resources.
