Sikkim Subject Controversy: Ignorance or Deliberate Malice?
What is most baffling is the timing of this controversy. The recent skirmish between Indian and Chinese forces in Naku La and Ladakh region cannot be forgotten. More importantly, the recent publication of a โNew Mapโ by Nepal at the behest of China aimed at ruffling Indian Government cannot be ignored too. With attempts at terrorist incursions by Pakistan at its peak and repeated references to sabotaging the โChicken Neckโ region by anti-national forces, this fresh attempt to bring the contentious Sikkim Subject issue does raise certain concerns.
