Sikkim CM Prem Singh Tamang has reacted strongly to The Hindu publishing a map of India where the state of Sikkim was missing. The CM stated that it was not a mere oversight, but a serious and unacceptable error that undermines the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our nation.
It has come to my attention that The Hindu, in its edition dated 13th May 2025, published a map of India omitting the state of Sikkim. This is not a mere oversight, it is a serious and unacceptable error that undermines the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our nation.

He added, “At a time when we are celebrating 50 years of Sikkim’s Statehood, such a misrepresentation is deeply hurtful to the people of Sikkim and an affront to the unity of our Republic. Sikkim is an integral part of India, with its identity firmly safeguarded under Article 371F of the Constitution.”
Strongly condemning the grave lapse, CM Tamang added, “The Hindu and all media organisations bear a serious responsibility in portraying the country accurately and respectfully.”
