Once again we are paying for the stupidity of Nehru, who thought Nepal is just a part of India, sooner or late it will be. That was the reason for 1950 Indo-Nepal Treaty which gave the right to the Nepalis to come to India and settle. Now the situation has changed 9 it has changed since King Birendra became the King who had created a lot of trouble for Indira Gandhi and Rajib Gandhi. Now Nepal, under the Maoist rule, is a totally seperate country and they demand cancellation of Indi-Nepal Treaty. That means, all Nepalis are now pure foreigners. They cannot demand a seperate state.
Nepalis are not the original people of Darjeeling or of North Bengal, Assam, Bhutan, or Sikkim. They had occupied some areas of India in early 19th century but were driven out soon after. They cannot demand those areas back, it is as if the British are demaning back their empire in India. Nepalis are foreigners, so they either go back to Nepal or they stay in India with wok-permit but cannot demand any seperate state anywhere. Today it is Darjeeling and North Bengal, tomorrow it will be Garwal, Kangra, Kumaun, Terai.

You go back to Nepal. You are a Nepalese Foreigner. You have no right to talk about Bengalis. You are not Indian, so just shut up and go back to Nepal.
