<div id="ygrps-yiv-1892776076">An Indian gentleman is requesting information on a Sikkimese enclave in <br/>
Tibet. Anyone know anything? I have informed him of a couple of articles in <br/>
the Hindusthan Standard newspaper during the 1960s reporting the Chinese had <br/>
invaded 2 Sikkimese enclaves in Tibet and sent the occupants packing. Also <br/>
of Swami Pranavananda&#39;s book &quot;Exploration in Tibet&quot; which has a brief <br/>
paragraph on Bhutanese enclaves in Tibet on p146.<br/>

&gt;I am aware of the fact that Tsomo tretung (&#39;Como Chamling&#39;), situate north<br/>
&gt;of  Mount Kangchenjunga , and south of the Tibetan city of Shigatse is<br/>
&gt;historically a part of Sikkim, and was depicted thus in old maps of Sikkim<br/>
&gt;and Tibet.Can any person who has more information  furnish details apropos<br/>
&gt;this issue.Near Tsomo Tretung, is the town of Dobtra, and is situate near<br/>
&gt;the towns of Tinki Dz, and Kamba Dz.<br/>
