DEMAND OF AUTONOMY IN DARJEELING HILL AND ITS ETHNO-POLITICAL DYNAMIC
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Darjeeling, one of the tiniest districts of West Bengal, consists of the majority Nepali community. The Nepalis are the unassimilated minority group in West Bengal. The people have always looked upon themselves different from Bengal and Bengalis physically, culturally, traditionally and linguistically. Ethnic identity systems generally incorporate political aspirations of a group and are effective in mobilizing members for political goals. The ethnic demand of the Nepali speaking population of the Darjeeling region for a separate administrative set up goes back to 1917.1t was a little before 1917, that the Hillmen's Association had been formed consisting of the three ethnic groups, the Lepchas, Bhutias and Nepalis. The Gorkhaland Agitation was the ultimate cause of feeling of relative deprivation, language threat to identity of the Nepalis.
