A number of Lessee Landlords were created throughout Sikkim with untold powers to mortgage or to confiscate the lands of the innocent peasants. Further, with the help of his Sikkimese protégés Claude White board upon a policy of obliterating the ancient economy of Sikkim. This paved a way for the birth of Kaziism, Thikadari system, and all the other forced labours like Kuruwa, Kalobhari, Jharlangi, Theki-Bethi, Ghar-Lauri etc”.

Answer 2

Answer:

in 1911 the Political Officer at Sikkim was empowered by the

Bengal Government to sanction estimates for ordinary repairs within the limits  

of budget allotments. It may be recalled that the first British Political Officer

(J.C White) hailed from the engineering services (Public Works Department,

Bengal) and therefore his knowledge in public works contributed significantly

to the development of Gangtok within a short span of time.

To assist the Political Officer in his administrative work the Bengal

Government appointed under him a group of staff Important officers who

assisted the Political Officer in administration were C.W Dover, Mr. Hodges

and Mr.Nimshering. Dover was entrusted with various municipal functions at

Gangtok. Mr. Hodges was appointed as the office superintendent and

Nimshering, a native of Sikkim worked as an interpreter for the Political

Officer.
