		In 1642, the fifth generation descendant of Guru Tashi, Phuntsog Namgyal was consecrated as the first Denzong Gyalpo or the Chogyal (king) of Sikkim by the three great Lamas who came from the north, west and south to Yuksom Norbugang in West Sikkim.
		Tenzing Namgyal, the next ruler of Sikkim was a weak ruler, and his sovereignty saw most of Sikkim being appropriated by Nepal.
		The doctors were detained by the Sikkim government, which led to a punitive British expedition against the Himalayan kingdom in which the whole of Darjeeling district and Morang were annexed in 1861, although the kingdom continued to exist as an independent rump state centred around the capital at Gangtok.

	globeandmail.com: India's land above the clouds
		Facing pressure from both restive forces within his own population and the military might of India, Palden Thondup Namgyal, the country's last chogyal, or consecrated ruler, relinquished the throne and the former protectorate became a full-fledged state of the Indian union.
		Palden fled to the U.S. with his American wife, Hope Cooke, and died there less than a decade later, his lineage all but forgotten.
		Whether the chogyal's downfall was a victory for democracy or amounted to a virtual annexation of the kingdom is a matter for debate, but what is immediately apparent to any visitor to this Himalayan province is that three decades of Indian rule have done little to erode its independence or royal pedigree.
