Gorkhaland Union territory Soon? Here’s What the Govt Said! | Detailed explanation

Hey everybody,
In this Video we are going to discuss about the Gorkhaland issue and what's goverment take on it.
Gorkhaland consists of Nepali-speaking people of Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Kurseong and other hilly districts of West-Bengal. The people belonging to these areas have ethical, cultural and language differences with the Bengali community of West-Bengal.

The demand of Darjeeling as a separate administrative region dates back to 1907. But, the term “Gorkhaland” was coined recently, in the 1980s, by Subhash Ghising, the founder of Gorkha National Liberation Front (GNLF).

The Gorkhaland Movement is a movement mainly focused in the Darjeeling Hills of West Bengal, which demands the creation of a separate state of Gorkhaland.

The area covers Duars and Terai region of West Bengal. And is famous for its tea and beauty, which are the main sources of its income

A meeting was held in Delhi by the Union Home Ministry to talk about the long-pending demand for Gorkhaland, a separate state for Gorkhas. Several Gorkha leaders attended, but they were upset because the West Bengal government did not attend, even though they were invited.

At the meeting, many possible solutions were discussed — like making Gorkhaland a separate state or turning it into a Union Territory (UT) with its own legislature.

The Gorkha leaders said it's been many years, and the Centre should finally take action. They also raised the demand to give Scheduled Tribe (ST) status to 11 Gorkha communities, which would help them get benefits in education and jobs.

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee is strongly against the idea of separating Gorkhaland from Bengal.
