The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) is a political party in India, primarily active in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal. Founded in 2007, it aims to create a separate state called Gorkhaland for the Gorkha people, who are primarily of Nepali descent. The party advocates for the rights and identity of the Gorkha community and seeks greater autonomy within the Indian political framework. The GJM emerged as a response to long-standing demands for a separate state, fueled by cultural and linguistic differences. It has organized various protests and movements to raise awareness and support for its cause. The party has played a significant role in the political landscape of the Darjeeling region, influencing local governance and policies.
