Silence from Sikkim!

No news on the Sikkim Lepcha agitation over the past 48 hours.
The Lepchas have traditionally been a very peaceful, non marital race.
This Hunger strike is perhaps out of character.
Did the Sikkim government, in the hands of Pawan Chamling, really think this one through?
Or was it a case of the Nepalese majority bureaucrats feeling that Lepcha land wouldn't matter?
Or is it actually the Indian Central Government twisting Sikkim's arms?
Nar bahadur Bhandari always spoke of the fcat that if something accepts any Sikkimese, regardless of ethnicity or religion, it affected each one of us.
