  <abstract>The Ethnic Quest: A Historical Study of The Native People of Sikkim' strives to underscore the importance of recognising and preserving the unique heritage of Sikkim's diverse population. It also serves as a crucial reminder of the broader implications of historical research in addressing contemporary issues such as ethnic identity, cultural preservation, and socio-political representation of each ethnic group of Sikkim. The insights gained from this study attempt to offer valuable understandings for policymakers, scholars, political leaders, social architects, and advocates working towards fostering greater inclusivity and respect for the region's rich diversity </abstract>
