Talk on role of Limboos in 17th and 18th century Sikkim at Rachna Books

GANGTOK, 07 Nov: Friends@Rachna is organizing a talk followed by interactive session on the role and importance of the Limboos in the Politics, Society and Economy of 17th and 18th century Sikkim.
A press release informs that the talk is to be delivered by Dr Saul Mullard at Rachna Books on 11 November  at 3 PM. Dr Mullard, who has been researching on Sikkim’s history for almost ten years now, has had his book “Opening the Secret Land - a New approach to Sikkimese history” recently published by Brill.
This sunday, Dr Mullard’s talk will focus on the Limboos in early Sikkim. The Limboos are in many ways the hidden people in the early history of Sikkim. A lot of research has focused on the Lepcha and Bhutias with only a few publications, many by Limboo scholars, on the Limboos in early Sikkim.
In this talk, using original sources from Sikkim and from the period of the 17th and 18th centuries, Dr. Saul Mullard will discuss the various roles of the Limboo in early Sikkimese history, the release mentions.
It may be recalled here that in September 2010, Dr Mullard had made some ground breaking revelations about the Lho Mon Tsong Sum Agreement based on his extensive research at a similar talk at Rachna Books.
The registration fee for the talk is Rs 200. Students with ID cards however can attend the talk for an entry fee Rs 50.
