The media of West Bengal as well as of India is tempted on Gorkhaland issue. But mass media don’t have any conception about Gorkha’s demand. What is their demand? Is it acceptable?
Ok, I am clearing viscose thought.
If we look at the picture of northern Bengal then we found some tempted issues for separate statehood of Gorkhaland and Greater Coochbihar (demanded by Rajbongshi or kamtapuri) by ages. And it is revolve around 7 districts.

If we look at the picture of northern Bengal then we found some tempted issues for separate statehood of Gorkhaland and Greater Coochbihar (demanded by Rajbongshi or kamtapuri) by ages. And it is revolve around 7 districts.
• Jalpaiguri ( tarai And duayars)
• Coochbihar
• Derjeeling
• North dinajpur
• South dinajpur
• Maldah
• Kalingpong
• Coochbihar
• Derjeeling
• North dinajpur
• South dinajpur
• Maldah
• Kalingpong
Among these districts Gorkhas want to carved out derjeeling kalingpong torai and duyars.
Now let’s focused on the demography of these area…
In the hilly area of Darjeeling Karseong Mirik Gorkhas are majority. But if come to valley of Darjeeling i.e. siliguri then it is reversed. Only 15% of Gorkhas are there and Bengali constitute 75%, rest of 10% are others. Now if we concentrate on Gorkhas population then infiltrating will take the vital role as India-Nepal have open corridor due to 1950 India Nepal treaty.
Now in tarai and duyars area of Jalpaiguri hardly 30% Nepalese are there and 70% are Bengali and local tribals.
This is the picture of Gorkhaland .
And what about Greater Coochbihar? They are demanding large area. How much? You will be surprised after knowing. They are demanding all seven districts and western part of Assam.
These are only the information. But strategically why demand of Gorkhaland is impossible?
No 1. If we have to support Gorkhaland then we have to support greater Cochbihar and Bodoland in Assam. And demanding area of greater Coochbihar includes Grokhaland and Bodoland. So territorial overlap will happen.
No. 2 already discussed that the population of Siliguri is against Gorkha, naturally people of Siliguri will not support Gorkhaland. So Gorkhas can’t demand Siliguri. And without Siliguri , Gorkhaland thinking is like hallucination as this is the only town and market of Darjeeling is controlled by Siliguri.
No. 3 Gorkhas population still very less so that they can represent at least one MP in Rajyasabha. So how they think about Gorkhaland? They are also aware about this. That’s why they eyed to Siliguri, tarai and duyars.
No. 4 if we look at the demographic change of Darjeeling then we will see people are alleging that a portion of them are foreigner and migrants from Nepal.
No. 5 at the time of independence there were numbers princely states in India. So if we support demand of Gorkha then tomorrow all will want their statehood.
No. 6 yeah it’s true that smaller states are easy to govern but there should be some criteria to get new statehood. Because formation of new states with just thousands of people will not make sense, this will make new way to drain of money from public fund.
Im giving a llist of small state:

Im giving a llist of small state:
• Sikkim- 0.05% of india’s total population
• Mizoram – 0.09%
• Arunachal Pradesh - 0.11%
• Goa – 0.12%
• Nagaland - .016%
• Manipur – 0.22%
• Tripura - .30%
• Himachal Padesh – 0.57%
• Uttrakhand – 0.84%
Demanding Gorkhaland consists only three Mahakumas. Which can’t be a state. And their population is 0.08% and area nearly 0.025%. which less than current indian smallest state.
Where india faced lots of trouble about trespassing there india Nepal corridor is open. If gorkhalad curved out from West Bengal then open corridor wil be more widen trespassing will more increase.
Now answers is in your hand.
