Gorkhaland
Gorkhaland is a proposed state in India demanded by the people of the Darjeeling Hills and the people of Indian Gorkha ethnic origin on the Dooars of West Bengal on the basis of ethno-linguistic rights. The movement for Gorkhaland has gained momentum in the line of ethno-linguistic-cultural sentiment of the Indian peoples who desire to identify themselves as Indian Gorkhas. Two mass movements for Gorkhaland have taken place under the Gorkha National Liberation Front (1986–1988) and Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (2007–present).
