The referendum was held to determine whether Sikkim should remain an independent kingdom or merge with India. The result of the referendum was an overwhelming victory for the merger option, with 97.55% of voters in favor of merging with India. The referendum was boycotted by the Sikkimese National Congress, the main opposition party in Sikkim, which alleged that the vote was rigged.<\/p>\n<p>The merger of Sikkim with India was controversial at <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> the time, and it remains a sensitive issue in Sikkim today.

This option is correct because the result of the referendum was an overwhelming victory for the merger option, with 97.55% of voters in favor of merging with India.<\/li>\n<li>Option b: A narrow victory for maintaining the monarchy. This option is incorrect because the merger option won by a landslide, with 97.55% of voters in favor of merging with India.<\/li>\n<li>Option c: A split vote along ethnic lines. This option is incorrect because the referendum was not split along ethnic lines.
