Geophysically the Darjeeling hills has been territorially misplaced with Bengal since its inclusion with British India in 1835 annexed from its contiguous component the erstwhile independent state of Sikkim and Bhutan 1865 with whose territories the geophysical conditions of Darjeeling are identified.In lieu of the above states being foreign countries at the time of annexation, Darjeeling hills was thence identified regionally with erstwhile Assam, with which state there are geophysical commonalities, as contiguous regions including other aspects of social formations particularly both areas being hilly regions with similar ethnology and features for a uniform administrative setup. Earlier as well as presently, with the geophysical divide between the hills and the plains of Bengal, the legislation enacted in the Provincial Assembly is peculiarly inapplicable and its implementation misdirected and misplaced, instead of ushering development and progress it is seen to have the opposite effect, down sliding the whole process to an irrecoverable low. Considering the decades of harm done under such circumstances, it is observed only a state for Darjeeling district and the Duars will be geared to lift it up again from its pathetic sight, and hopefully reverse the process to bring the damaged geophysical conditions to its natural form.
