The name "Thami or Thangmi" is the local designation for this community.

India is a country known for its incredible cultural diversity with numerous ethnic groups, communities, and tribes. Each community has its own unique cultural practices, languages, traditions, and sometimes, regional names may have variations. The Thami or Thangmi, also known as Thami, constitute an indigenous tribe with a significant presence in the hills of India, particularly in the regions of

West Bengal (Darjeeling, Kalimpong) & Sikkim. The Thami people exhibit distinctive physical characteristics and cultural practices that have led many to believe they have Mongolian descent, given their presence in the Himalayan region and the historical interactions in that area. The Thami people communicate in their native language known as Thangmi, which belongs to the Tibeto-Burman language family. The Thangmi language has linguistic affiliations with Nepali languages. The social structure of the Thami is organized around a bilineal clan system. Both male and female clans play a role in the community's social fabric. In addition to the male clans, there are distinct female lineages passed down from mother to daughter. The Thami people adhere to the Kirant religion, a belief system indigenous to certain ethnic groups in the Himalayan region. Shamanism is a notable aspect of their religious practices & although the Thami do not have a written script for their language, there are inscriptions on monuments built over graves that claim a connection to a written script. Historically, Thami men engaged in shifting agriculture, a practice where cultivation is carried out in different plots over time to allow soil recovery and besides agriculture, hunting and foraging were part of the traditional livelihood activities. The Thami people represent a culturally multifaceted and subjective concept that encompasses the collective achievements, values, traditions, rich and diverse expressions of a people belonging to this community with roots in the hills of India. Their distinctive social structure, language, and religious practices contribute to the unique identity of the Thami people, who have maintained their cultural heritage amid geographical and historical challenges. The integration of shamanism into their religious practices reflects their close connection to the natural and spiritual elements of their surroundings.

हार्दिक शोक–सम्बदना सन्देश

आदरणीय स्व. सोवा थामीको २०२५ नोभेम्बर २८ गते भएको अकाल र असामयिक निधन
थामी समुदायका लागि मात्र होइन, सम्पूर्ण समाजका लागि एक अपूरणीय क्षति हो।
हामी सबै गहिरो पीडा, दुःख र असीम शोकमा डुबेका छौँ।

स्व. सोवा थामी एक असाधारण साहसी महिला,
समुदायको पहिचान, अधिकार, सम्मान र सुरक्षाको लागि
जीवनभर लडिरहने दृढ इच्छाशक्ति र अटुट संकल्पकी धनी हुनुहुन्थ्यो।
समुदायलाई अँध्यारोबाट प्रकाशतर्फ डोर्याउने सच्ची मार्गदर्शक
र प्रत्येक युवा, महिला तथा समाजसेवीका लागि
उत्कृष्ट प्रेरणाको स्रोत हुनुहुन्थ्यो।

थामी समुदायको उत्थानका लागि उहाँले चालेका
निःस्वार्थ कदम, साहसिक निर्णय, र समर्पित सेवाभाव
सिर्फ इतिहासका पानामा मात्र होइन,
हाम्रो रगत, मेरुदण्ड र आत्मामा जगेरासहित बाँचिरहनेछन्।
उहाँले प्रमाणित गर्नुभयो—
“समुदायलाई उठाउने दृढ मनोबल र सच्चा भावना
कुनै पनि ठूलो पद, शिक्षा वा शक्तिभन्दा महान हुन्छ।”

हाम्रो समुदायलाई उचाइमा लैजान उहाँले सदा
समर्पणको बल, एकताको शक्ति र सम्मानको बोध बोकेर अगाडि बढ्न सिकाउनुभयो।
आज उहाँको निस्वार्थ योगदान र अद्भुत व्यक्तित्व
हामी सबैका लागि आँसु र अभिमानको स्मारक बनेर उभिएको छ।

अन्तिम यात्रा सम्बन्धी सूचना

स्व. सोवा थामीको अन्तिम संस्कार / श्रद्धाञ्जली समारोह
आइतबार, ३० नोभेम्बर २०२५ मा सम्पन्न हुनेछ।
यस अवसरमा सवै सम्मानित सदस्य, आत्मीयजन, शुभेच्छुक तथा
थामी समुदायका सम्पूर्ण दाजुभाइ तथा दिदीबहिनीहरूलाई
सहभागी भई अन्तिम श्रधाञ्जली अर्पण गरिदिनुहुन विनम्र अनुरोध गर्दछौँ।

अन्तिम समवेदना

यस पीडादायी अवस्थामा
हामी शोकसन्तप्त परिवारजन, आफन्त, प्रियजन र सम्पूर्ण समुदायप्रति
हार्दिक श्रद्धाञ्जली, गहिरो शोक संवेदना,
र धैर्य, शक्ति र साहस प्राप्त होस् भन्ने हृदयस्पर्शी प्रार्थना गर्दछौँ।

भगवान् उहाँको दिवंगत आत्मालाई चिरशान्ति प्रदान गरून्।
ओम् शान्तिः — शान्तिः — शान्तिः

सुमिरन थामी
महासचिव, थामी सांस्कृतिक तथा विकास संघ
