Gorkha land is a day-dream for the sponsors of the movement. Hill leaders also know they are fighting vainly for a separate state which will never come into being. Whoever comes to power in Bengal would not allow further division of the state at least for its own existence. Nor would Center allow carve out Gorkhaland to open Pandora’s box again after Telengana either. Truly, the Gorkha leaders in hills are whipping up ethnic sentiment to keep the movement alive for their own interest for power, money etc. Already they’ve amassed immense fortune like Subhas Ghising.Unfortunately, no political parties have ever tried to nip the movement in the bud. On the contrary, they pampered it for electoral gain. Mamata has taken rather a tough stand which has yielded some results too.Hoewever,how long the hills would remain peaceful is difficult to predict. Probably Gorkha activists would not go in for politics of Bandh in near future. Now perhaps movement would continue at low key. Come opportunity, it might gain momentum and flare up again.However, it may be reassured whatever be the intensity of the movement formation of separate Gorkhaland would ever elude the Gorkha people and it’d prove only a wild goose chase.
