Who is Sonam?
Sonam Pachey is an Indian beauty queen from Sikkim.
She took part in the Femina Miss India 2012
Sonam is of Tibetan origin. Many Tibetans--from the Dalai Lama and elite rimpoches and lungpos to pavement-based hawkers of woollens--have honoured India by making it their home. Therefore, they are Indians.
Pemzang wrote in [1]: ‘her uncle a tibetan lama did take care of her in india. her parents are still in tibet’
Sonam and her husband are now based in Switzerland.
Indpaedia hopes that whatever nationality they accept, they should continue to think of themselves as 'Indians of Tibetan origin.'

Adulation in Vienna
The Viennese magazine Das Biber wrote this gushing article about Sonam in 2013. [This is a clumsy Google translation]: ‘The most beautiful woman of India lives in Vienna: Sonam Pachey wants to study history in Austria.’
The magazine described her as Miss Rummel, a title that she picked up in Vienna.
Modelling in Austria

Negative
About this stunning beauty BellyInc wrote, ‘You sadly don't get to see too many multiracial beauties like her outside of Europe or North American.’
That is how beautiful neutral observers find her.
However, a jealous person who calls herself wingsofnightingale acidly commented when Sonam got married, [2]: ‘Good for her. She was an awful speaker. would not have won any crown ! nonetheless..congrats to her. She made the right move !’
God never gives anyone everything. If Sonam has been given those unbelievably divine looks, obviously she cannot be expected to be a good speaker as well. Her Hindi-Urdu diction is grammatically perfect and so is her accent—which is creditable for a Sikkimese. But, given her rural background, obviously her diction and voice need training—and with the right training she would have overcome that as well.
