The Indian Prime Minister agreed to the idea of reviewing and revising the Indo-Nepal Peace and Friendship Treaty 1950 and the challenge before every Indian is to have a broad-based discussion and make the provisions of the Treaty that would go along the needs of the 21st Century. Both India and Nepal would tread the path of reviewing / revising / abrogating the 1950 Treaty on the basis of each nations larger national interest. On the other hand, for the India Gorkhas it is high time to ensure that this Treaty either had a complete safeguard for the fostering of political and constitutional identity of the Indian Gorkhas or has an exclusive arrangement for durable solution to their protracted demand of keeping them separate from the floating population that crosses border under the provisions of the 9150 Treaty. Do the Indian Gorkhas aspire for resolutions of these issues within the Treaty or outside the Treaty? If it is within, then what kinds of provisions are to be added to the existing Treaty. And if they want solutions outside the framework of the Treaty what kind of arrangement is needed. All these require a comprehensive and wider national discussions and deliberations. Therefore Bharatiya Gorkha Parisangh, the national umbrella social organisation has initiated a process and as a part of this process we are holding the first NATIONAL SEMINAR AND INTERACTIVE SESSION on Sunday the 2nd November 2014 at 11.00 AM at Kalimpong Town Hall.
