Bina Rai
Bina Rai is a social worker and politician hailed from a small village Meyong, West Sikkim, India. Her emergence begun with the advent of Sikkim Democratic Front Party in 1992 wherein the 18 years old girl actively played role to mobilize young women in far flung villages. At that juncture, she was the student of Class XII at Soreng Senior Secondary School. Afterward, she made her so busy in politics that her academic regularity was broke down and she didn’t saw the college classrooms.

The political enthusiasm housed within gave her the opportunity to work as the Chairperson of Sikkim Cooperative Society when SDF Party government was formed in December 1994. Then onward, she was made Chairperson of different government organizations. But as she dreamed, she never got the opportunity to be in the decisive system to serve the people. In 2009 general elections she got the SDF Party Ticket from Chakung constituency, but unfortunately it was withdrawn in lieu of the intervention penetrated by the then standing MLA of that Constituency PS Tamang. Afterwards, she wasn’t offered any such opportunities. She was marginalized within the party but she never deceived.

In the long run, she found herself in disillusionment of politics wherein she saw numerous shifts and her straight forwardness and honesty were harshly punished. In June 2017, 3rd phase of Gorkhaland agitation was broke down in Darjeeling hills and she made her busy to support the issue. Perhaps, these are the ‘gods of small things’ as suggested by the writer Anundhati Roy.

She is married to Pravin Rai Jumeli in 2002, the litterateur and also the mother of two sons. Her parents, Bibi Man Rai and Bishnu Maya Rai are agricultural farmers and live in Meyong village.
