Flag Of Sikkim (1967-1975)
At present there is no official flag of Sikkim, a state in India. The independent Kingdom of Sikkim did have a national flag until it became a state of India in 1975. Kingdom of Sikkim (1877–1975) The Kingdom of Sikkim had used several flags during its history. They all contained a Buddhism, Buddhist ''khorlo'' prayer wheel with the ''gankyil'' as the central element. Until 1967, the previous flag showed a very complex design with a fanciful border and ashtamangala, religious pictograms surrounding the khorlo. A more simple design was adopted in 1967 because of the difficulty in duplication of the complex flag. The border became solid red, the pictograms were removed and the wheel was redesigned. With the 1975 Sikkimese monarchy referendum, admission of Sikkim to the Republic of India and with the History of Sikkim#Independent monarchy, abolition of the monarchy, the flag lost its official status in 1975. State of India (1975–present) The Government of Sikkim can be re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Arthur John Hopkinson
Arthur is a common male given name of Brythonic origin. Its popularity derives from it being the name of the legendary hero King Arthur. The etymology is disputed. It may derive from the Celtic ''Artos'' meaning “Bear”. Another theory, more widely believed, is that the name is derived from the Roman clan '' Artorius'' who lived in Roman Britain for centuries. A common spelling variant used in many Slavic, Romance, and Germanic languages is Artur. In Spanish and Italian it is Arturo. Etymology The earliest datable attestation of the name Arthur is in the early 9th century Welsh-Latin text '' Historia Brittonum'', where it refers to a circa 5th to 6th-century Briton general who fought against the invading Saxons, and who later gave rise to the famous King Arthur of medieval legend and literature. A possible earlier mention of the same man is to be found in the epic Welsh poem '' Y Gododdin'' by Aneirin, which some scholars assign to the late 6th century, though this is still a ...
