Description

About The Book: In this segment from "A Grammar of the Rong (Lepcha) Language," the author introduces the Lepcha people and their locale, Sikim, positioned amid Tibet, Bhutan, and Nepal. Sikim's diplomatic relations with British India commenced in 1814, initially intertwined with Nepal's affairs. The initial significant encounter with Nepal transpired in 1767 when the Newah Rajah sought British assistance against the Gurkhas. Regrettably, the British force led by Capt. Kinloch proved inadequate, resulting in their withdrawal. Consequently, the Gurkhas, encountering no opposition, seized control of Kathmandu. This excerpt furnishes historical insights and geographic particulars, establishing the groundwork for delving into the grammar of the Lepcha language.
