Meet the Scholars from Sikkim Who Helped Translate Constitution in Nepali Language

On Constitution Day, a historic moment unfolded in Parliament as President Draupadi Murmu released the Constitution of India translated into nine languages, including Nepali. The milestone marks a major leap for India’s Nepali-speaking citizens, who can now read the nation’s founding document in their own language—enhancing both democratic access and linguistic inclusiveness.

For Sikkim, the occasion carried special pride. The Nepali translation reached completion thanks to the dedicated efforts of five scholars from the state who travelled multiple times to the National Translation Mission (NTM) in Mysuru between 2023 and 2025. The Sikkim-based experts were:
• Dr. Sarda Chhetri and Dr. Uday Chettri of Nar Bahadur Bhandari Government College, Tadong
• Dr. Bidhan Golay of Sikkim University, Gangtok
• Dr. Suchan Pradhan and Dr. Krishna Kumar Sapkota of Khangchendzonga State University, Gangtok

Working alongside fellow scholars from across India, they ensured the translation aligned with all current amendments and upheld constitutional precision and clarity.

They were joined by a distinguished team of translation and review specialists from various institutions nationwide, including:
Dr. Anupama Devi (Gauhati High Court, Guwahati),
Dr. Bhabani Prasad Sharma (University of Bongaigaon),
Dr. Dil Kumar Pradhan (Birpara College, Alipurduar),
Dr. Dipesh Lama (Government General Degree College, Pedong),
Dr. Ghanashyam Nepal (Retd., University of North Bengal, Darjeeling),
Dr. Jayanta Krishna Sarmah (Gauhati University, Guwahati),
Dr. Kabi Basnet (Darjeeling Government College),
Dr. Khemraj Timsina (National Translation Mission, Mysuru),
Dr. Krishna Maya Manger (University of North Bengal, Darjeeling),
Dr. Padam Nepal (St. Joseph’s College, Darjeeling),
Dr. Pamchuila Bhutia (Sonada Degree College),
Dr. Ritu Chettri (Munshi Premchand Mahavidyalaya, Siliguri),
Dr. Shiben Sharma (University of North Bengal, Darjeeling),
Dr. Upendra Adhikari (Kurseong College),
Dr. Vinod Pradhan (Southfield College, Darjeeling), and
Dr. Yogesh Khati (Kurseong College).

Although Nepali translations of the Constitution existed in the early 1990s, they lacked updates and full accuracy. The new edition—with all amendments incorporated—now stands as the most refined, authoritative Nepali version to date. The names of all contributors have been officially included, honoring their meticulous work and service to the nation.

The experts expressed profound pride in contributing to a project of such national significance. They described the translation as a gift to Nepali-speaking communities across India—one that will strengthen constitutional awareness, democratic participation, and inclusivity for generations to come.

सिक्किम राज्य सार्वजनिक सेवा आयोग (SPSC) द्वारा हालै सार्वजनिक गरिएको उप–निरीक्षक (Sub-Inspector–SI) लेखापरीक्षाको नतिजाले राज्यभरिका परिश्रमी, अनुशासित तथा आर्थिक रूपमा विपन्न वर्गका नानी–छोराछोरीहरूको भविष्यप्रति नयाँ आशा, विश्वास र प्रेरणा भरेको छ।
यस सफलताले सिक्किमका सर्वसाधारण परिवारका युवाहरूले कठोर परिश्रम, लगनशीलता र दृढ इच्छाशक्तिका आधारमा कुनै पनि प्रतिस्पर्धी परीक्षामा उत्कृष्ट सफलता हासिल गर्न सक्ने क्षमता पुनः प्रमाणित गरेको छ।

हामी उप–निरीक्षक परीक्षामा सफल भएका सम्पूर्ण उम्मेदवारहरू विशेषगरी चुनौतीपूर्ण सामाजिक तथा आर्थिक परिस्थितिमा संघर्ष गर्दै अघि बढेका प्रतिभाशाली नानी–छोराहरू—प्रति हार्दिक बधाई तथा शुभकामना व्यक्त गर्दछौँ।
उनीहरूलाई सही मार्गदर्शन, प्रेरणा र निरन्तर समर्थन प्रदान गर्ने अभिभावक तथा गुरुजनहरूको योगदान प्रति पनि गहिरो कदर गर्दछौँ।

यसबीचमा केही स्थानबाट उठान गरिएका आधारहीन टिप्पणी, अनावश्यक विवाद र असन्तुलित आलोचनाले समाजमा भ्रम फैलाउने प्रयास भएको जस्तो देखिन्छ।
सार्वजनिक सेवा आयोगका परीक्षा प्रक्रियाहरू पारदर्शी, प्रतिस्पर्धात्मक र योग्यता–आधारित हुने कुरा राज्यका सबै नागरिकलाई विदित तथ्य हो।
त्यसैले, मेहनत र योग्यता मार्फत सफलता प्राप्त गरेका युवाहरूको मनोबल कमजोर पार्ने अभिव्यक्ति कुनै पनि हिसाबले स्वीकार्य हुनु हुँदैन।

हामी विवेकपूर्ण संवाद, तथ्य–आधारित आलोचना र जिम्मेवार सार्वजनिक अभिव्यक्तिको पक्षमा रहन्छौँ।
सिक्किमका युवाहरूको लगनशीलता, प्रतिभा तथा क्षमतालाई राजनीतिक विवादमा तान्ने प्रवृत्ति अस्वस्थ र निन्दनीय छ।
विशेषगरी आर्थिक, सामाजिक रूपले पछाडि पारिएका वर्गका छोराछोरीहरूले योग्यता, मिहिनेत र निरन्तर अध्ययनको आधारमा हासिल गरेको यो उपलब्धि सम्पूर्ण सिक्किमका नागरिकका लागि गौरवको विषय हो।

हामी सफल उम्मेदवारहरूको आगामी प्रशिक्षण, सेवा–भावना र कर्तव्य निर्वाहमा उत्कृष्टता हासिल होस् भन्ने शुभेच्छा व्यक्त गर्दछौँ।
नैतिकता, अनुशासन र जनसुरक्षाप्रतिको प्रतिबद्धताका साथ कार्य गर्ने यी नयाँ पुस्ताका उप–निरीक्षकहरू सिक्किमको शान्ति, सुरक्षा र सामाजिक विकासका महत्वपूर्ण आधारस्तम्भ बन्नेछन् भन्ने दृढ विश्वास राखिन्छ।

हाल एसडीएफ पार्टी तथा क्याप पार्टीले SPSC परीक्षामा सफल युवाहरू कुनै राजनीतिक पहुँच वा ‘चेपचाप’ मार्फत उत्तीर्ण भएको भनी सार्वजनिक रूपमा आरोप लगाउँदै आएको कुरा पूर्ण रूपमा आधारहीन, तथ्यविहीन र भ्रामक छ।
यस्ता निराधार आरोपहरू मुद्दा वा प्रमाण प्रस्तुत गर्न नसक्दा सधैँ प्रचार–प्रपञ्चमार्फत समाजमा भ्रम फैलाउने प्रवृत्तिको निरन्तरता मात्रै देखिन्छ।
सार्वजनिक परीक्षा प्रक्रियालाई बदनाम गर्न खोज्ने यस्ता गतिविधिहरू प्रतिस्पर्धी युवाहरूको मिहिनेतमाथि प्रहार गर्ने कार्य भएकाले यसप्रति कडा आपत्ति व्यक्त गर्दछौँ।

हामी यथार्थ, प्रमाण र निष्पक्ष प्रक्रियाको सम्मान गर्न सबै राजनीतिक दलहरू तथा सरोकारवाला पक्षहरूलाई आग्रह गर्दछौँ।
राज्यका युवाहरूको उज्ज्वल भविष्य र उनीहरूको मिहिनेतलाई राजनीतिक स्वार्थका कारण अपमानित गर्नु उपयुक्त हुँदै होइन।

False Allegations by CAP and SDF on SPSC SI Recruitment: Understanding the Reality

CAP (Circus Acting Party) and the SDF have recently made unfounded allegations regarding misconduct in the SPSC Sub-Inspector recruitment process. These claims are completely false, baseless, and are nothing more than an attempt to manufacture a political issue where none exists.

Sikkim is a small state, and with the ruling party holding all 32 seats with a massive public mandate, it is natural that many individuals—directly or indirectly—may be associated or familiar with the ruling front. But the question arises: does this mean that anyone who supports the ruling party automatically becomes ineligible to appear for any competitive examination? According to the opposition’s logic, are supporters of the ruling front barred from cracking exams or qualifying through merit? Such assumptions are immature, childish, and reflect the shallow political mindset of those making them.

What is even more surprising is that these parties have failed to present even a shred of concrete evidence. They rely on assumptions, social media chatter, and self-created narratives, portraying them as “proof”. Their claims have neither been upheld by any competent authority nor proven in any court of law. Time and again, after every SPSC result, these parties repeat the same old drama, yet they have never succeeded in substantiating their allegations.

Parties that barely manage around six percent of the vote share in the entire state and are incapable of winning even a single panchayat seat are now creating noise on Facebook on every trivial matter. Their actions clearly display frustration, desperation, and an attempt to hide the declining relevance they have among the people. Instead of constructive politics, they seem intent on misleading the public with fabricated narratives.

Posting on Facebook does not determine truth or political credibility; the people’s mandate does. While their manufactured noise may attract short-term attention, the final verdict will always come from the people of Sikkim. And when the election arrives, these parties will once again realise that truth, transparency, and merit always prevail, while baseless accusations and fabricated stories crumble before the collective wisdom of the voters.

From the official page of Sikkim Dragons FC

The day before yesterday, we played a very intense and competitive SEMIFINAL against Rajasthan United FC. We fought hard, we created more chances, and we had more shots on target. The final score was 2–3, and we accepted our defeat with dignity.

But there was one moment in the match…a clear handball in their box, where the referee overlooked what should have been a penalty. Still, we accepted it and played on. After the final whistle, our players went to the referee to talk, as any team would do. Once the game ends, that discussion is not part of the match anymore. We are a local club, we are the hosts, and as humans, we believe in speaking directly with officials so that such mistakes can be avoided in future matches.

Unfortunately, instead of a calm conversation, the referee responded arrogantly, and a verbal exchange began. Our players are young; they are learning, growing, and maturing. Sometimes young minds react in the heat of the moment, and it is our job to guide them.

What made things worse was the involvement of the Rajasthan United player, who had already won the match. Instead of staying at their bench or returning to their dressing room, one of their players ran in and physically attacked our goalkeeper, leaving him bleeding on the ground. In such a situation, do you expect the rest of our boys to simply stand and watch?

Yet on social media, many have conveniently started posting only the clips after that initial assault, leaving out the truth, the provocation, and the injury to our goalkeeper, Alice from Namchi.

To those content creators who look only for views and likes:
If you don’t know the facts, please don’t post half-truths and call it journalism.
You have no idea about the sacrifices behind running a local club. We are not here making money out of these boys. This is charity, this is passion, and this is our dedication to Sikkim football for the last 20–30 years.

Big clubs like Rajasthan United FC get huge sponsorships and come from mainstream India. They should set an example when they visit smaller footballing states. Yet this isn’t the first time they’ve sparked issues, go back and watch their match with Himalayan FC too.

Our players are young and still learning. We are shaping them to become disciplined, responsible men and better athletes. Sometimes they slip, but growth is a process. And even in this incident, the only player who was injured was ours. Yet we are being labelled as “indisciplined”. How convenient.

To those who constantly target the local club, ask yourselves:
Have you ever built a club?
Have you ever supported one from the grassroots?

When you run a club with 30–50 heads, of course a few will show attitude or indiscipline at times, Some of our own local boys even end up ransoming matches for money. Still, we don’t abandon them. A club’s job is to steer them back, not to judge and discard them. Clubs are meant to shape young players, not announce verdicts and wash our hands off them

It’s easy to point fingers from behind a screen, but very hard to stand on the ground where we stand.

And let me add this clearly:
We are not spoiling the name of our state which you are.
When you post fabricated, one-sided stories to show the outside world, you dent the image of your own home state.

Ask yourselves HONESTLY:
Would you broadcast your own household problems on social media for the world to see?
If not, then why do it with your own state and your own local club?

If you cannot encourage, at least don’t discourage.
If you cannot verify, at least don’t mislead.

ETHICS MATTER, EVEN ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

And remember this clearly, we will not tolerate INJUSTICE.

At the same time, we want to sincerely THANK EVERYONE who shared balanced views, who encouraged us, who counselled our young players, and who stood by truth. Your positive words, your fair understanding, and your support mean a lot to us as a local club.

In moments like these, we all learn. We grow. We take the lessons, we take the motivation, and then we move forward with stronger focus and bigger hearts.

Sikkim Dragons FC will continue to stand for fair play, for truth, and for the development of young Sikkimese footballers. We are not here to fight; we are here to grow. But we will not stay silent when the story is twisted against us.
