#印度吞并锡金过程是怎样的?# #India# The process of annexation of Sikkim by India went through several key stages, and here is a simplified overview:
1. **Treaty and de facto control (1947-1950)**
- After India's independence, Sikkim also gained independence as a British protectorate. In 1947, Sikkim signed the Status Quo Agreement with India, which maintained India's right to direct Sikkim's defence and diplomacy.
- In 1950, the two countries signed the Indo-Sikkim Treaty of Peace and Friendship, under which India effectively controlled Sikkim's defence, foreign affairs, and communications, and established an Indian government representative to oversee the administration of Sikkim.
2. Migration and demographic change (1950s-early 1970s)
- India's encouragement and support for ethnic Nepalese immigration to Sikkim led to a significant change in Sikkim's demographics, with the indigenous Sikkimese and Lebcha gradually becoming minorities and the pro-Indian Nepalese population increasing, setting the stage for the subsequent referendum results.
3. Internal Intervention and Political Change (1970s)
- India has further stepped up its interference in Sikkim's internal affairs and fostered pro-Indian political forces, such as supporting Sikkim's last prime minister, Baden Dondrup Namgyal (Dorji is misinformation), who took steps to weaken the power of the Sikkim king and to some extent suppressed political movements demanding independence or autonomy.
4. Military Takeover and Referendum (1975)
- In April 1973, in the face of domestic turmoil and anti-Indian sentiment in Sikkim, the Indian army forcibly took over the executive power of the Sikkim government.
- After that, India organized a referendum (referendum), which, although questioned about its impartiality and legitimacy, showed that the majority of those who participated in the vote supported merger with India.
- In April 1975, the Indian Parliament passed a resolution to turn Sikkim into a state of India, thus completing the annexation of Sikkim.
As a result, India gradually achieved de facto control and formal annexation of Sikkim through deep involvement in Sikkim's internal affairs, immigration policies, support for pro-Indian forces, and eventual referendums and legal procedures. This series of actions has been controversial and has been seen by international voices as going against the will of the people of Sikkim and the principle of national sovereignty.
