Abstract:

While issues related to collective mobilizations have recently attracted considerable attention, little has been done to explore and explain the differential rate of participation of women in different forms of mobilization. While addressing the issues of gender within the charred ethno-politics of Darjeeling, this article will analyse women’s participation in two successive waves of Gorkhaland movements, followed by the recent mobilization for recognition as scheduled tribes. In this regard, the article will highlight how the overt use of violence, followed by the response of the state, contr

Abstract:

Among the various crises that have fuelled multiple ethnic movements in India, the crisis of ‘land’ is one of the most fundamental yet understudied domains in the study of ethnicity and nationalism. This article examines the intricate relationship between land and ethnicity through the case study of Gorkha’s demand for ‘Gorkhaland’ in Darjeeling Hills, India. The scholarship on the ethnic study has largely failed to understand the significance of land as identity and belongingness among many indigenous communities and this has created a distorted understanding of the place, community, and iden

Abstract:

The Gorkhas, originating from Nepal’s mountainous regions and numbering approximately 3.2 million domestically with significant diasporas in India (1.5 million), the UK (25,000), and Southeast Asia, have been globally valorized for their martial traditions. Approximately 30,000 serve in institutionalized military and paramilitary roles, including the British Army (4,000), Indian Army (32,000), and Singapore Police Force’s Gurkha Contingent (2,000). This study critically interrogates the historical, cultural, and socio-political construction of Gorkha identity, challenging reductive “martial ra

Abstract:

This paper explores the themes of cultural hybridity and identity crisis in Kiran Desai’s novel, The Inheritance of Loss. Set in post-colonial India and the United States, the novel delves into the lives of characters who navigate the complexities of hybrid identities and the resulting psychological turmoil. Through a detailed analysis of characters such as Sai, Jemubhai Patel, and Biju, the study examines how colonial legacies and global influences shape their fragmented identities. The socio-political backdrop of the Gorkhaland movement further enriches the narrative, highlighting the interc

Abstract:

The demand for the separation of Darjeeling from Bengal goes back to 1907. The demand in the colonial period was not consistent and was limited to the submission of memorandums. During the colonial period, politics was elitist and the common people and women were not part of it. Even after the independence of India, women in Darjeeling did not take part in the movement for the creation of Gorkhaland. Their political participation was limited. It was only in the 1980s when the movement gained momentum that women started to participate. Since then women have been able to use their agency to empo

Abstract:

This article posits that gendered militarized labour, women’s everyday entrepreneurialism and political mobilizations around subnational autonomy are intricately linked. To understand the relationship between these entities, one needs to zero in on the generational dynamics of women’s collective engagement in upholding the martial identity of Gorkhas, and the consequences of such preoccupation on the legibility of Gorkha subjects vis-à-vis the Indian state. To locate the specificity of women’s collective engagements with Gorkhaland, I propose a de-essentialized intersectional perspective in dr

Abstract:

Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss (2006) is a powerful literary exploration of the intersection between colonial history and globalization, shedding light on the persistent struggles of postcolonial subjects. The novel navigates themes of displacement, economic disparity, cultural alienation, and fractured identities, illustrating how the remnants of colonial rule continue to shape individual experiences in a rapidly globalizing world.

Abstract:

Darjeeling occupies a special place in the South Asian imaginary with its Himalayan vistas, lush tea gardens, and brisk mountain air. Thousands of tourists, domestic and international, annually flock to the hills to taste their world-renowned tea and soak up the colonial nostalgia. Darjeeling Reconsidered rethinks Darjeeling’s status in the postcolonial imagination. Mobilizing diverse disciplinary approaches from the social sciences and humanities, this definitive collection of essays sheds fresh light on the region’s past and offers critical insight into the issues facing its people today.

Abstract:

This chapter examines movements for greater local autonomy in Darjeeling since India’s independence. Political leaders generally mobilize to demand autonomy during periods of heightened electoral competition. These movements tend to fade when electoral competition is low. When mass movements have won autonomous institutions for Darjeeling, movement leaders have used these institutions to repress local electoral competition. Without electoral pressure, incumbent leaders in Darjeeling are feckless in pressing autonomy demands. Both the national government in New Delhi and the West Bengal state g

Abstract:

Abstract Questions of language and national identity have coloured the history of Nepal and the eastern Himalayan region for decades. But since the 1980s they have emerged at the forefront of political movements – sometimes violent – which have underscored the ethnic, religious, and social fault lines of the area. The relationship between language and identity is complex even at the level of smaller ethnic groups; when combined with the questions of nation and nationalism it has proved fraught with danger. In the mid-1980s Darjeeling’s separatist Gorkhaland movement played on language as the u

Abstract:

From the tales of nineteenth century British explorers to contemporary tourism advertising, representations of Darjeeling circulate far and wide. Across more than a century and a half, Darjeeling is repeatedly pictured as ‘a summer place’: a picturesque landscape of misty tea gardens, quaint cottages, and elusive mountain views. This chapter explores the colonial origins and historical persistence of this ‘tourist gaze’ in producing Darjeeling. Approaching this representational history from a vantage point grounded in the questions of belonging forcefully raised by the Gorkhaland movement, the
