The paper traces the journey of Gorkhaland movement from 1907 till the present times-from the demand made by Hillsmen's Association to the current agitation taken by GJM. The rationale behind Gorkhaland movement is preservation and development of language, culture and identity of Gorkha minority group in West Bengal. The supporters of the movement have a perception that once the state of Gorkhaland is fabricated then the other Indians would not designate Gorkhas as ‘foreigners’.
