In which State is 'Black Cat Museum' located?

Concept

Military and formation museums in India are sited where the parent formation is garrisoned, so the question really asks where the Black Cat formation is stationed. The 'Black Cat' insignia belongs to the Indian Army's 17 Mountain Division (the Black Cat Division), the formation headquartered at Gangtok that guards the Sikkim sector along the India-China border.

Where it is

The Black Cat Museum is set up and run by this division at Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim. Its exhibits commemorate the division's operations in the high-altitude Sikkim sector, including the 1967 Nathu La and Cho La clashes, through photographs, weapons and murals tracing the former Sikkim Kingdom and the Army's role there.

Why not the others

• Mizoram's well-known military and heritage sites relate to the Assam Rifles and Mizo history at Aizawl, with no link to the Black Cat formation.

• Assam is a major army base region with several war memorials, which makes it a tempting pick, but neither the Black Cat formation nor its museum is based there.

• Manipur is famous for the INA and World War II memorials around Imphal and Moirang; mistaking those for this army formation's museum leads to the wrong State.

Cross-check

The museum's Gangtok address and its listing on the official Sikkim tourism portal both confirm the location as the State of Sikkim, not any other north-eastern State.
