Gorkha Community Demands For Indigenous Group Recognition In Assam

To be recognised as an indigenous group, the Bharatiya Gorkha Parisangh (BGP) of Assam has released a whitepaper on November 28. Spokesperson Nanda Kirati Dewan has stated that their community was "undermined and left out" from Assam Accord Clause 6. Moreover, he added that the whitepaper contains facts and statements that justify the community's demand. BGP has also planned to send a copy of whitepaper to Home Minister and other officials.
