BOOK ON DARJEELING : THE STORY OF DARJEELING (2ND EDITION - 2009)

The Story of Darjeeling: The Land of the Indian Gorkha (Language - English)

Year - 2008 (2nd Edition -2009)

Writer - Basant B Lama

From the review by Dr. Sonam Wangyal :- "Consider for example his claim that it was the Gorkhas, and Gorkhas alone, who were responsible for the escape of Subhas Chandra Bose to Germany. For the Sikkimeses reader I might add here that amongst these Gorkhas one was a certain Yonzone, personal servant of Subhas Chandra Bose, and he hailed from Sikkim. Another revelation is that the book claims that Netaji spoke fluent Nepali.

If you want to read a book with a heart and a bit of humour, and still feel you are reading history then this is the book. For those of you who are interested to know about the circumstances that Darjeeling and the Dooars are currently placed in, how it came about, and possibly what the future holds, this book is an absolute must."
