   WORLD RECOGNIZED IT IS NEPALESE COMMUNITY, NOT GORKHA   
      
   -	DIPAK DE [HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST; M. PHIL IN HUMAN RIGHTS]    
      
                       A minor character in the play, Macbath, makes a comment to   
   the effect that things at the worst will cease or else climb upwards. Such   
   happening occurred in Darjeeling in the Nepalese community when by a Gazette   
   Notification in 1988    
   created the concocted / fictitious community Gorkha in Darjeeling. Gorkha   
   means the mercenary Nepalese soldiers, recruited in Indian Army; the most   
   hated object in civilized world. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited   
   Nepal and his speech in Nepal    
   on Gorkha soldiers is a shame to civilized Indian citizens. In his speech on   
   2nd August, 2014 PM, in a packed Nepal's Parliament, he underscored the   
   connection - Gorkha soldiers. He said "India hasn't won any battle, any war   
   where Nepalese haven't shed    
   blood, haven't been martyred," He said. On the same breath, he said, "Nepal is   
   a sovereign country. India's job is not to interfere in your work, but to help   
   if we can once you've already decided." In his speech he clearly explained   
   that Gorkha soldiers    
   are Nepali citizens. So naturally, the world body has the right to say that   
   the Gorkha soldiers are mercenaries and India recruited and deployed them. A   
   mercenary is not a martyr but to be treated as criminal who died in war or   
   battle as he carrying the    
   National Flag of a foreign country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi far from   
   obliterating the differences in status between a patriot and a mercenary, he   
   praised the work of a mercenary. His speech is a shame.    
      
                   Nepalese entered Darjeeling, which was uninhabited in 1835,   
   since the year 1840 after Dr. Campbell posted as Superintendent of Darjeeling   
   in 1839.  In the Darjeeling Gazetteers 1907, a brief history mentioned wherein   
   it is stated that    
   Darjeeling was deserted in 1829 and 1836 and the mentioned as from a report   
   dated the 18th June 1829, in which he claims to have been the only European   
   who ever visited the place, we learn that Lloyd visited 'the old Goorka   
   station called Dorjeling' for    
   six days in February 1829...........Darjeeling itself, though formerly   
   occupied by a large village and the residence of one of the principal Kazis,   
   was deserted, and the country round it was sparsely inhabited.......The hill   
   territory of Darjeeling    
   having thus been ceded,  General Lloyd and Dr. Chapman were sent in 1836 to   
   explore the country.........The country was still practically un   
   nhabited............About 10 years previously 1,200 able-bodied Lepchas,   
   forming, according to Captain Herbert,    
   two-thirds of the population of Sikkim, had been forced by the oppression of   
   the Raja to fly from Darjeeling and its neighbourhood, and to take refuge in   
   Nepal. What little cultivation there was, had been abandoned." It is the   
   history and empirical    
   evidence that Nepalese emerged from Nepal, migrated from Nepal to India and   
   settled all over India, especially Darjeeling and Sikkim were submerged under   
   the incoming flood of Nepalese immigrants. After the Indo-Nepal Treaty in 31st   
   July 1950 Nepalese of    
   Nepal are entering India incessantly particularly in Darjeeling district,   
   Jalpaiguri district, Sikkim, many states of North-East India. This treaty   
   facilitated the Nepalese to enter India and the Article VII states that "The   
   Government of India and Nepal    
   agree to grant, on a reciprocal basis, to the nationals of one country in the   
   territories of the other same privileges in the matter of residence, ownership   
   of property, participation in trade and commerce, movement and other   
   privileges of a similar    
   nature."    
       
                             World recognized that it is Nepalese, not Gorkhas,   
   who entered India particularly Darjeeling from Nepal. It is also to be noted   
   that according to census reports, records, history, ancestry history etc. that   
   there is no existence    
   of people of Gorkha community in this world. In a text book for the students   
   of Post Graduate course it is mentioned that Throughout history Nepal has   
   surplus manpower which she channelized into three directions, First, the   
   export of skilled artisans to    
   build temples, stupas and icons in Tibet, Bhutan and Mongolia as well as   
   China; Secondly, the sons of her soil were made available in the   
   Trans-Himalaya trade to serve as merchants (Newars, Thakalis) and porters from   
   the ancient and medieval period to    
   the turn to century, Thirdly, to works as seasonal labourers or semi-permanent   
   and permanent labourers in Sikkim, Bhutan or North-East India; or as soldiers   
   in the British Indian Army. Nepali experience in the refugee problem can be   
   divided into two    
   categories: Nepalis migrating into north-eastern India, Sikkim and Bhutan and   
   even Myanmar; and Nepali speaking people coming from north-eastern India,   
   Bhutan and Burma. The Nepali migrants (Rais, Limbus, Gurungs, Newars) in   
   North-Eastern India, Sikkim    
   and Bhutan were encouraged by two factors. First, the decline in   
   Trans-Himalayan trade by the turn of the century compelled the Nepalis, who   
   had earned their living by this trade, to seek their livelihood elsewhere.   
   Second, the Nepali migration in north-   
   eastern India and the neighbouring countries was also encouraged by the   
   British, who were establishing tea-plantation in Darjeeling, which required a   
   labour force that was capable of working on steep slopes. In addition, the   
   British encouraged the Nepali    
   migration in Sikkim for they were convinced that a non-Buddhist community in   
   Sikkim could serve as a counter to what the British perceived to be   
   pro-Tibetan British policy in that state, designed to open up Tibet. The   
   Nepalese fitted both these criteria    
   admirably well; and became a crucial factor in the rapid expansion of the   
   Nepali community both in Darjeeling and the South-Eastern sector of Sikkim in   
   the late nineteenth century....................Waves of the Nepali migrants   
   also entered into the    
   Southern part of the Brahmaputra valley (Assam). The British encouraged the   
   Nepali migrants to settle in this area but not into the North-eastern section   
   (present Arunachal). This area was prohibited to both Nepalis and the   
   Christian missionaries because    
   of its supposed strategic importance]
