Darjeeling and Sikkim: Stitched by History, Separated by Politics? | Darjeeling & Sikkim Merger

The call for Gorkhaland has echoed for over a century, but today, a new question has entered the conversation — Can Darjeeling merge with Sikkim?

In this video, we unravel the complex layers of history, identity, constitutional rights, and political narratives surrounding the proposed Sikkim–Darjeeling merger. From the 1835 Deed to Article 371F, from emotional connections to strategic concerns — we explore how Sikkim views this issue, and why Darjeeling’s hope may be seen as a one-sided love affair.

🗺️ This is not just a geographical debate — it’s a battle for belonging.
👥 Featuring political perspectives, historical records, and citizen voices.

📍Should historical ties define present-day politics? Or is it time to look forward?
