Writes: Binay Gazmer
Shri Theodore Manaen, who at 93 years looks much younger, is the first Gorkha who became the General Secretary of the un-divided All India Congress Committee and represented Darjeeling Constituency in the Parliament twice.
Theodore Manaen was the first Gorkha General Secretary of All India Congress Committee, when Shri U. N. Dhebar was the President of All India Congress Committee and Shri Jawahar Lal Nehru was the Prime Minister of India.
He was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) from Darjeeling Constituency on the Second Lok Sabha election during 1957-62 and also on The third Lok Sabha election 1962-67.
Theodore Manaen is one of the forgotten heroes of the yesteryears and the living history of Gorkha consciousness in the country.
