Gorkhaland is a proposed state in India, aimed at creating a separate administrative region for the Gorkha people in the northern part of West Bengal. The demand for Gorkhaland has been driven by cultural, linguistic, and political aspirations, as the Gorkha community seeks greater autonomy and recognition of their identity. The region primarily includes the Darjeeling district and parts of the Jalpaiguri district. The movement for Gorkhaland has seen various protests and political activities over the years, with organizations like the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha leading the charge for statehood.
