Gorkhaland movement:

The Gorkhaland movement is a campaign to create a separate state of India in the Gorkhaland region of West Bengal for the Nepali speaking Gorkha people. The proposed state includes the hill regions of the Darjeeling district, Kalimpong district and Dooars regions that included Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar and parts of Coochbihar districts. A demand for a separate administrative unit in Darjeeling has existed since 1909, when the Hillmen's Association of Darjeeling submitted a memorandum to Minto-Morley Reforms demanding a separate administrative setup.
