I saw a lengthy article about Babu Tharchin by his grandson David Tharchin in Sikhimblog published in 2007. In it he states that Babu Tharchin was a Khunu native born in Poo village in Himachal Pradesh in 1890. This is credible because Tharchin la belonged to Moravian denomination and the Moravians had already established a mission in Ladakh which neighhors Khunu or Kinnaur in Himachal. From a personal contact of mine I learned that Babu Tharchin's first wife was from Lhasa and passed away issueless. He had an adopted son by the name of Sherap Gyamtso who passed away at the age of 70. Margaret, a German, was his second wife. Tibet Mirror not only covered current affairs but also commercial news with periodic commodity prices relevant to Tibetan merchants.

The choegyal fought very hard to retain the status quo of having its anthem, flag and national identity but its powerful neighbour colluded with lackey Kaze and his people which finally brought down the king in 1978. Choegyal and queen Hope cook tried to internationalise Sikkim’s original status but the neighbour’s subterfuge put paid to their effort!
