Thank you all who are supporting Gorkhaland in Sajha. I would like to answer and make few clarification raised here by some of our fellow members.

Harikancha bro,
"If you want or support separate gorkhaland in india, you must accept separate terai in nepal..."

Not necessarily because...

Indian constitution has provision for creation of states on linguistic and cultural basis such as punjab for punjabis, bengal for bengalis. Whereas such state division system is not in the constitution of Nepal. Therefore the demand for a separate state of Gorkhaland is well inside the constitution of India.

ganapati bro,

"Why not??
if Indians support division of Nepal, why not we support division of India...
If possible, we should support Gorkhaland as a part of Nepal.."

I don't know whether Indians support division of Nepal or not, the demand for Gorkhaland is for a separate state not an independent nation. It will be well inside India as one of the states.

maheshdai bro,

"They should intensify their movement for Gorkhaland.
100% support."

Thank you for your support.
Moral support is only support they need.

bisal123 bro,


"If somehow 'Gorkhaland' becomes a state, Do you guys really think will India let our Terai not to seperate from Nepal? Think about it. We already have problems getting our things together. I rather have my won Terai than Gorkhaland to Indian Gorkhas. Gorkhas choose to live there, they are abiding by Indian constitution. And I also want Medhesis to respect , obey and be honest to our constitution and sovereignity.

Bottom line is I don't support Gorkhaland. Because you don't wanna throw stones to other's house while you live in a glass house."

As I mentioned earlier demand for a separate state of Gorkhaland is there since 1907. It is a legal demand and has a provision in the Indian constitution to create a new state on cultural and on the basis of language of the people. Therefore Gorkhaland remains in India and Terai remains in Nepal.

"Sikkim was never a sovereign nation unlike Nepal"

bisal bhai Sikkim was a sovereign nation before it became an Indian state.

rahulvai bro,

"Well said बिशाल।
बटम लाइन भनेको नेपाल टुक्रिनु हुन्न। त्यसइ त कतिपय कथित मधिसी नेताहरु स्वतन्त्र तराइको वकालत गरी रहेकाछन। तसर्थ भारतीय संबिधान मा बाँधिएका नेपालीहरु को भन्दा स्वततन्त्र नेपालको अस्मिता को चिन्ता गर्नु आज को आवश्यकता हो। त्यसैले गोर्खाल्याण्ड आन्दोलनमा मेरो सहआनुभूती छ तर समर्थन छैन।"

राहुल भाई लिनु दिनु के छ र सहानुभुती मात्रै भये पनि पारीको गोर्खे सन्तानलाई धेरै आड महसुस हुने छ ।

khaobadi bro,

"When there was gorkhaland motion few decades back, nepal didn't give shit. They laugh at nepal when india blocked even salt to nepal, few decades back."

हाम्रो सबै भन्दा ठुलो कमजोरी यही हो ।  We laugh at each other so others laugh at us.
