I would credit the author for nationalist feelings than smell fish. Ive visited Sikkim as recently as May this year. I wasnt too convinced why Cox&Kings included Sikkim in my itenarary to Darjeeling but trust me guys this is some place you should never miss. Weve lost major portion of Kashmir to Pakkis but we must challenge the Chineese with full might on their stake on Sikkim. BTW, Gangtok is more beautiful place than Darjeeling which belongs to WB. Ive to Tsongmo lake further up close to Nathulla border, a place called Baba mandir thats well gaurded by India army. Every tour operator includes Tsongmo lake along with Darjeeling which is a good way of promoting tourism which would then become difficult for China to stake claim.
I only believe the author is expressing this view than cast doubts on Sikkim's nationality.

I think, author wants to say that people of Sikkim belives and feel deep in their hearts that they are true Indians. And other Indian should not have any doubts. And also this is a message to China what the people of Sikkim thinks.

Exactly. Sometimes our patriotism blind us from recognizing another patriot. :-)
