The folkloristic history has often been ignored in India. Even though, the present history of the evolution of every society is indebted to the folkloristic historiography but, in the absence of the dearth of documentation the charm of such rich treasury of the society has been reduced into unrealistic myth(s). The folkloristic history of “Blood Brother Treaty” that was signed at Kabi-lanchok, Sikkim in 13th Century is one of the similar sufferers. The treaty that largely contributed in present socio-cultural richness, tranquility and peaceful coexistence of society in Sikkim still remains sidelined in the name of mapping the authenticity of historiography. The paper highlights the importance of the “Blood Brotherhood Treaty” and its role in ensuring peaceful coexistence in the state of Sikkim.
