MAMATA BANERJEE AND THE FALSE, FICTITIOUS GORKHAS IN DARJEELING


“The new government will create a new bond between the hills and the plains by ushering in development,” Mamata Banerjee, the chief of
Trinomul Congress Party said on 11th February 2011 Friday, according to news.

DEVELOPMENT IS THE MATTER OF BRIBE:

At the Chowrastha on 25th October, 2009, Sunday while attending the closing ceremony of the month long cultural revolution which started on September 25, the GJM chief Bimal Gurung said – unscrupulous intentions of bribing Hill people by dangling the development carrot and announced that the panchayat department would not be allowed to function from November 7, 2009. “The Bengal government is trying to lure away Hill people from Gorkhaland by providing development through the panchayat. So we will close the panchayat department and offices in the Hills,” said Gurung.


COLLECTION OF TAX:

GJM chief Bimal Gurung on 25th October, 2009, Sunday threatened that GLP will collect tea, motor vehicle, boulder and other taxes.

IT IS MOST INTERESTING THAT PARTHA CHATTERJEE LEADER OF TRINOMUL CONGRESS PARTY extended support in a meeting in Darjeeling district to the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha’s (GJM) agitation for the creation GORKHALAND state by dividing the state of West Bengal , according to news.

Gorkha Janmukti Morcha is the organization of false and fictitious gorkhas as there is no existence or there was no existence of Gorkha ethnic group, Gorkha race, Gorkha caste, Gorkha community or separate
identity as Gorkhas like Nepalese, Assamese, Tamils etc in India, in Nepal and in the world.

A section of Indian Nepalese and most of foreigner Nepalese are claiming that they are gorkhas, they are not Nepalese. These false and fictitious gorkhas i.e. the combination of a section of Indian Nepalese and most of the foreigner Nepalese are demanding for the creation of Gorkhaland state.

IT IS MOST IMPORTANT MATTER THAT MAMATA BANERJEE HAS HAD NEVER UTTERED
AGAINST THE POLITICAL ACTIVITIES OF THE FOREIGNER NEPALESE wherein a foreigner has no right to participate in political activities in a foreign country.

IT IS ALSO TO BE NOTED that, according to news, Gorkha Janmuki Morcha supported the candidate of Trinomul Congress Party’s candidate in Legislative Assembly Election 2009 in RAJGANG constituency of
Jalpaiguri district and on the other hand Trinomul Congress Party supported the candidate of Gorkha Janmukti Morcha candidate in Kalchini constituency of Legislative Assembly Election 2009.

Accusing the chief minister of West Bengal of neglecting the hill people, on 11th February 2011 Friday Mamata requested the people of the Darjeeling hills to have patience till the coming assembly election – according to news. BUT IT IS DATA THAT GOVERNMENT HAS NEVER NEGLECTED THE DARJEELING DISTRICT reflected in Human Development Index.


IT IS TO BE NOTED that Trinomul Congress Party was the ally of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and BJP is supporting the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha of the demand of creation of GORKHALAND state which means
MERCENARIES LAND or CRIMINALS LAND, by dividing the state of West Bengal.

BJP candidate Jaswant Singh elected in 2009 in Parliament Election from Darjeeling constituency by foreigner Nepalese votes, unfair and unfree votes and the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha supported the Jaswant
Singh. So Human rights philosophy and jurisprudence cannot accept Jaswant Singh as Member of Parliament.

In an estimation – in the year 2010 in the Darjeeling district there are about 410,000 Bengalese, 308,000 Indian Nepalese, 846,000 Foreigner Nepalese and 411,000 others [Lepchas, Bhutias, Adivasis etc] (total population about 19,75,000) . In the year 1971 Bengalese were 20.77% (162,349 persons) of total 781,777 population of Darjeeling district. Taking into account this 20.77% - in the year 2001 there were about 333,500 Bengalese out of total population 16,05,900 in Darjeeling district. Taking into account 23% growth rate in 10 years, in the year 2010 the Bengalese are about 410,000 persons.

It is the estimate that – about THREE out of FOUR Nepalese in Darjeeling district are foreigner Nepalese in the year 2010 AND about FOUR out of FIVE Nepalese in Jalpaiguri district are foreigner Nepalese in the year 2010. In the year 1951, the population of Nepalese was 88,958 in Darjeeling district. These Nepalese and their descendents are Indian Nepalese. Taking into account 23% growth rate in 10 years, in the year 2001 the population of Indian Nepalese was about 250,000 and in the year 2010 the population of Indian Nepalese is about 308,000. There were 88, 958 Nepalese in Darjeeling district in the year 1951 and according to information this is the Census report of India in 1951. This number 88,958 [Nepalese population in Darjeeling in 1951] is confirmed by Gorkha Janmukti Morcha [GJM] of Darjeeling. In
the booklet of GJM named “WHY GORKHALAND?” the GJM mentioned – “The census of Darjeeling ........The Nepali-speaking population was shown as only 17%....” This number 88,958 [Nepalese population in Darjeeling in 1951] is confirmed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday, April 21, 2010 in Rajya Sabha. Shri Prabhat Jha, Member of Rajya Sabha, of the BJP mentioned – “the census of 1951 for Darjeeling District projected the Nepali-speaking population as a miniscule minority by showing Nepali-speaking population only 17 per cent........”

FROM THE ABOVE MENTIONED STATEMENT of Mamata Banerjee it may be said that after the election if she will win, may divide the state of West Bengal and HAND OVER the Darjeeling district to Nepalese including foreigner Nepalese.

It is to be noted that the Trinomul Congress Party candidate won in Rajganj constituency of Jalpaiguri district by the vote of foreigner Nepalese as four out of five Nepalese in Jalpaiguri district are foreigner Nepalese, according to an estimate.

NEPALESE POPULATION IN JALPAIGURI DISTRICT:

IN Census1971 Nepali population including foreigner Nepalese was 128,765 in Jalpaiguri district. In the year 1981 Nepali population including foreigner Nepalese estimated was 158,380 - growth rate 23% - increased 29,615 In 1991 Nepali population estimated was 194,807 - growth rate 23% - increased 36,427
BUT in Census 1991 Nepali population including foreigner Nepalese was about 5,50,000 [from the article ‘Jalpaiguri Jelar Nepali Samaj O Sanskriti’ by Kitapsingh Rai; Book - ‘JALPAIGURI DISTRICT ISSUE’, published by Information and Cultural Department, Government of West Bengal, 2001. i.e. about 355,193 (550,000 – 194,807) new foreigner Nepalese entered since 1971 to 1991. According to estimate there was about 50,000 Nepalese in Jalpaiguri district in the year 1951. These Nepalese and their descendents are Indian Nepalese. Taking into account 23% growth rate in 10 years, the population of Indian Nepalese was about 139,000 in the year 2001 and is about 170,000 in the year 2010 in Jalpaiguri district. The population of Indian Nepalese and foreigner Nepalese, both, was 550,000 in the year 1991. Taking into account 23%
growth rate in 10 years, population of Indian Nepalese and foreigner Nepalese, both, was about 676,000 in the year 2001 and is about 830,000 in the year 2010. SO THERE is about 660,000 (830,000 – 170,000) foreigner Nepalese in the year 2010 in Jalpaiguri district.

THAT MEANS ABOUT FOUR OUT OF FIVE NEPALESE IN JALPAIGURI DISTRICT ARE FOREIGNERS. A STRICT CENSUS IS REQUIRED TO FIND OUT THE REAL PICTURE.



PARLIAMENT

Smt. Dil Kumari Bhandari, is a Nepali according to information, born in Darjeeling on 14th May, 1949 was the Lok Sabha Member from Sikkim state. She represented Sikkim state from May 1985 – 27 November 1989 and from 20th June, 1991 – 10th May 1996. In 1992, during the debate on the Constitution (Amendment) Bill of Amendment of Eighth Schedule for the inclusion of Nepali language, she said in Parliament that language has very important place in one’s life. This involves so much of emotional issue in fact the whole existence of a (perdon), it is not a correct thing to play cheap gimmicks. If I indulge in such
cheap gimmicks, posterity will never forgive. I, for that matter all the people who speak Nepali language, are not weak that we will change the name of our mother tongue merely by suggestions of some ignorant and fabricated arguments put forward by some vested interests. In this respect I would like to quote from one document released in 1973 by Shri Subhas Ghisingh, I do not know whether I am allowed to take his name or not. But I will read from his own document. I quote:

“Jhoota Jati Gorkhali prate Nilojhanda ka general secretary, Subash Ghising ka Ghor Birod”.

He again said:


“Hami Gorkhali Hoi No” – we are not Gorkhas.


“Hami Nepali” – we are Nepalis.


“We are Nepalis and can preserve our language and culture by remaining Nepali.”



I do not want anything more, I leave to it to the wisdom of this august House and the knowledgeable hon. Members of this august House.


There is no provision in the CONSTITUTION OF INDIA that Government can hold meeting with the false and fictitious ethnic group, race, community especially on the matter of development, law and order
including on the matter of allowing administrative power such as handing over government departments and allowing legislative power, bureaucratic power, allowing fund, allotment of area to them.


MAMATA BANERJEE is the cabinet minister and she with her cabinet ministers given direction to Union Home Department to held meeting with the false and fictitious gorkhas, and this case is nothing but the violation of Constitution of India and also the violation of principle of SECURILISM, violation of maintenance of heritage NAME principle of Government of India.
