'''British India''' was the areas of [[Southern Asia]] that were for hundreds of years under the influence of the English and later the British. From the 1600s to 1858, those areas were run by the [[East India Company]]. From 1858 to 1947, they were the [[British Raj]]. Some areas were under the direct rule of the [[Governor-General of India]]. He was appointed by the Government of the [[United Kingdom]] in [[London]], and he was also called a [[viceroy]] since he represented the British monarch. British Imperialists Indians too had the [[symbol]]s that were used to represent the colonial [[British Indian people]] proper and abroad to [[National symbol|represent the country and its people]], during most of the early half of the 20th Century respectively.

British India included the regions of the present-day [[Bangladesh]], [[Republic of India]], [[Burma]] and [[Pakistan]] (1858{{ndash}}13th August 1947).

[[Image:IN-SK.svg|thumb|220px|Location of [[Sikkim]], within [[India]].]]
'''Sikkim''' (Nepali:सिक्किम, Sikkimi:དེན་ཇོནྒ) had been a [[Kingdom]] and a [[Protectorate]] in [[British India]] in the [[Eastern Himalaya]]s and was annexed to the modern [[Republic of India]] since 1975, with USA support. The people are of Nepali heritage, ruled by a Tibetan dynasty. Its neighbours are [[Bhutan]] to the east, [[Nepal]] to the west, the [[Tibet Autonomous Region]] of P.R.C. to the north and the [[Indian province]] of [[West Bengal]] to its south. It has the smallest number of people and second smallest land size (7,110 square kilometres or 2,750 square miles) of any major divisions now in the succeeded Republic of India. The third highest mountain in the world, Mt. [[Kanchenjunga]] (8,597 metres or 28,205 feet above sea level), is in [[Sikkim]]. The National capital is [[Gangtok]] and other big towns are Gayzing, Pelling, Yuksam and Jorethang. The languages spoken here are [[Sikkimese]], Lepcha, [[Tibetan]], [[Nepali]] and now [[Hindi]], [[Bengali]] and [[Indian English]]. Tourism makes a lot of the money in this small organised state of India, because it is not close to the sea.

The Former '''National symbols of the [[Kingdom of Sikkim]]''' were the [[symbol]]s that were used in the present-day [[Sikkim]] and abroad to [[National symbol|represent the country and its people]].
