Questions & Answers
STYS : What is your view on preservation of Tamang Culture and language in Sikkim ?
BBL: Tamang have wide diversity in culture. Though we was introduced from “BON” which is part of hindu clan, but later we were inclined into Buddhism, so most of our Tamang’s hugely celebrates Hindu’s Dasai & Diwali and being with Buddhism our main festival Sonam Lochar too.
Development of Tamang Language & Culture we have to implement from grass root level only, otherwise it will be hard to preserve culture & language wise. Every Block Committee should take active part in this preservation movement.
STYS: How can be our Youth be self reliant from your point of view ?
BBL: Youth should be centric in their special interested work and move forward according to the principles they will easily succeed.
STYS: For the growth of our community what are the measures we have to implement ?
BBL: Good Question ! First and foremost there should be frequent get together and sharing of knowledge among the Tamang committee which will make unity and makes community more friendly within the association.
Every association member should have positive thinking. For the growth of our community we should go through grassroots and should give platform to our youths. To contribute the money is not only thing, each and every individual participation in the meetings and programmes will make impact on overall development of community.
Lastly, we should introduce upliftment programmes in the poor Tamang village or for he poor Tamang families, that makes our community more social .
STYS: We Tamang have very rich culture and we have so many personalities here in Sikkim in the field of literature, politics, business still why our grass root Tamang’s are not helped by those big people of our community ?
BBL: Our big name community people should have active participation in Tamang Association and they should step forward to help poor Tamang people through many means. Their active mixing up with the grassroots Tamang people will certainly boost the confidence of those poor people.
STYS: Why Sikkim Tamang Buddhist Association is not focusing whole of the Sikkim in the community based activities? And what is the reason on forming Sikkim Tamang Buddhist Asanthust Association ?
BBL: Some of the people in our community have selfish motive. We should love our soil because we are son of this soil and we should love our community more.Well STBA Sangkhola Block Committee is doing good in providing many necessary things for the members. But again Central Committee never visits nor gives any information’s on meetings or any programs. If the committee have the enthusiast and potential executive members who can work unconditional for the growth of our community in the state than every Tamang’s of Sikkim will come forward and try their best to do something for the community development and preservation.
Clearly to mention STBAA is not a political oriented body . Forming of STBAA, is not only for us but for all Tamang’s of Sikkim who is not satisfied with the working culture of STBA. They have not given any clear information’s to any of the Block or District Committee regarding the Election procedures, Fund (Balance Sheet), aims and objectives, their steps towards community development and many more. First thing all Tamang’s of Sikkim should be clear about those information’s.
STYS: Last question : When we are supposed to get Tamang Seat reserved in Sikkim State Assembly?
BBL: The process of seat reservation is under progress. Our Hon’ble Chief Minister is continuously following up the matter and placing demands of our community always in the Central Government. We are hoping for the earliest from the Central Government.
Besides that we are hoping for 2 seats in Sikkim State Assembly 1 Male & 1 Female seats.
STYS: Thank you for your valuable time sir and hope your commendable work for the community will continue in coming days also. Have a great health always sir.
BBL: I am proud to be Tamang and nice to know that Sikkim Tamang Youth Society is doing great contribution for the community from the BLOG,Facebook PAGE and frequent positive press releases which makes us feel the existence of our community in the state. Hoping for active participation of STYS in every meetings conducted by STBA or STBAA and for the grassroots.
