More waiting--Attack in force by Thibetans--Action of Gnatong--Defeat and rout of Thibetan forces--Further inaction--Profusion of wild flowers--Life in the monsoon--Reinforcements ordered up. We had strong hopes that at the beginning of May we should be allowed to "go for " the Thibetans, and have no more nonsense about the matter, as the Lamas refused to come to terms, and here we were, within a few miles of one another, playing at the school boy game of "you hit me first, and then I'll give you beans." No such luck, however. The powers that were, ruled that we were on no account to unnecessarily attack the enemy who has invaded our country, and who continues to return impertinent messages to our overtures for an understanding. Morever, we are forbidden to aggravate them unduly by approaching within three miles of our own frontier line on the Jelapla Pass, so that the foe, who has for eighteen months occupied our country, and who has retired with all speed before our small column, may now flourish his antiquated weapons and defy us to his heart's content on the top of the Jelapla Pass, secure in the edict issued by the Government of India that he is not on any account to be thwarted. We have nothing to do, therefore, but possess our souls in patience and wait on the course of events, trusting for some climax to occur to put an end to the weary game of sitting still and doing nothing. Rumours came at the beginning of May that all British troops were to return to the plains, for which we were not sorry, as the prospect of further fighting seemed remote.

Download or read book The Cultural Heritage of Sikkim written by Sarit K. Chaudhuri and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sikkim has been a region of anthropological interest since the 1930s when Geoffrey Gorer and John Morris did their fieldwork among the Lepchas of Dzongu, north Sikkim. While it was mentioned in various writings of travellers and administrators during the British period, there is a dearth of literature even today on the rich heritage of Sikkim. This collection of twenty-five essays presented first at the international conference on Cultural Heritage of Sikkim, organized by the Department of Anthropology, Sikkim University, Gangtok goes a long way in breaching this gap. The book will be of immense interest to scholars and students of Anthropology, Sociology and Cultural Studies and will lead to new research on the people and the places of Sikkim and India’s North-East.
