Abstract: Darjeeling hills, which is one of the famous hill stations of India is famous for Tea, Tourism and Toy train. Geographically, ethnically, culturally, linguistically, the history of Darjeeling hills is totally different from the rest of Bengal. The British government after taking this tract of land as a gift from the Raja of Sikkim use the area only for their imperialistic interest. But the people of Darjeeling hills gradually felt neglected, economically backward, ethnically, culturally insecure. Such circumstances led to the rise of the demand of a separate political setup for the people of the hills. In course of time this political demand of the people of Darjeeling is one of the major political issues in the North Eastern part of India.
