Gorkhas demand separate Gorkhaland state comprising Darjeeling hills and adjoining areas in West Bengal
GK and monthly revision
Gorkha issue: Union Government promises permanent solution; sets up committee
Union Home Minister Amit Shah assured the Gorkha community of a permanent political solution to the long-standing Gorkhaland statehood demand, which seeks a separate state comprising Darjeeling hills and adjoining areas in West Bengal. The Centre has constituted a committee to examine the issue and recommend a roadmap, marking a significant federal intervention in a decades-old ethnic and territorial dispute. This development is crucial for exams as it involves Centre-state relations, Article 3 implications, and tribal/ethnic aspirations under the Fifth/Sixth Schedules.
