Sikkim
has population of about three laksh, made up of Lepchas, Nepalese and
Bhutias. The Lepchas are the oldest inhabitants of Sikkim. There is an
old Lepcha legend that long ago, the laughter of the Lepchas wafted into
the sky and it scattered and froze into shimmering stars. In the 15th
and 16th centuries, the Tibetans arrived bringing with them the Red Hat
Lamist tradition - Nying -ma-pa, which became the dominant culture and
official state religion.
