The otherside of the reality is How accountable and responsible we are? Yes it is true that the GNLF era was what Ichhamani quotes “Kingdom of Ghisingh, for the people of G.N.L.F and of the people of G.N.L.F”.But who made this or who allowed this to happen? It is WE not Ghisingh nor his accolades. They took the opportunity that we provided. Thus I would advocate for the social responsibility and Accountability on the part of the citizen first. If citizens are accountable we can still make the rulers/ leaders accountable. That is why simply running after one party is not the only solution for the achievement of Gorkhaland in the present scenario. It is true that Bimal Gurung has taken the lead in the movement and it is abosolutely necessary for other parties to join and support the movement. But at the grass root level what GJMM trying to do is trying to build their support base which is their right but at our parts we should not be moved by the actions or threats. People can remain in their own party whether one is a communist or ABGL or GNLF which is every one's right. Otherwise after few years the same definition will be applicable to the forthcoming ruler of Darjeeling Hills. Simplicity speaks.
