Gorkhaland Rally In Darjeeling

Thousands of Nepalis filled the streets after a hartal (general strike) was called that shutdown the entire city of Darjeeling as well as the surrounding towns affecting the entire hill-station in Darjeeling, West Bengal, India, on May 30, 2010. The hartal was called after Madan Tamang, leader of the moderate group Akhil Bharatiya Gorkha League (ABGL) was stabbed to death allegedly by Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) supporters on May 21, 2010 in Darjeeling, which lead to a spontaneous shutdown of the three Darjeeling hill sub-divisions of Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Kurseong. Madan Tamang was one of the leaders pushing for Gorkhaland (a separate Nepali state where the Nepali community would remain part of India but break free from Siliguri and West Bengal).
