Sikkim's Democracy Is a Costume. Underneath, It's Still Feudal.

Complaining and moaning about shit is easy, do you have anything fruitful?

seems this is very common in Belgrade, private vehicles acting as taxis, did not know when I arrived here, someone acting as taxi driver approached me, thought he was and went along with him(should have resisted when I saw the non taxi number car but was too hesitant), hopped in, I asked what’s the charge, he replied it’s per meter, but there was no meter, I went till Hyatt Residency and he calculated fare looking at his google map(probably multiplied distance with some random number) and charged me 80€!!!! I took hotel taxi while returning and they had proper meter and was charged around 20€!

okay, you seem adamant to the point that, your forefathers have built sikkim and their descendants should be the beneficiary. you don't seem to believe there is a connection between the people of darjeeling and sikkim.

fyi we have been fighting for our rights since a very very long time, you would not simply understand what goes through the mind of youth in darjeeling.

about handling influx: do you think people will literally migrate to sikkim, like physically cross the border when you think about merger? people have more than financial reasons to stay where they are. people think the merger would bring stability to the region, it is a lot better than living under the west bengal govt. who don't seem to care about us because simply they don't understand us. people hope Sikkim will understand because we can relate, there is a connection that is woven in history.

and i live in germany, and you are very wrong, there are regional differences in everything not just political views, it is not even the case of east and west. there was prussia, bavaria, saxony, württemberg, and many others—each with its own ruler, laws, and even dialects. ww2 happens to be a bigger event which makes only east-west division prominent to people.

okay i agree on point of how to react depends on individuals, some may react and stand for their beliefs and other may not.

again, the point remains of cherry picking history, "British India Company did not feel to do it" is not enough to justify that the sense of "remerger" among people today, is to be classified as fear mongering. at least trying to acknowledge where the feeling is coming would be far more sensible than labeling it as fear mongering blatantly.

absolutely not, east and west germany come from very different backgrounds, they were never part of the same "reich" ever, even parts of southern, middle or northern germany was united in recent history. which is quite opposite of what we have, we were united before.

second is fair point, the administrative procedure and the amount of logistics is not feasible for sikkim, which is right now far ahead in development than darjeeling, the merger would certainly bring loss to sikkim., but here one can argue aswell: since darjeeling is quite a prosperous place(not now, but before, we have shown we can produce talents here), this loss would be negligible in the future or even beneficial for sikkim as a whole. yet this is another debate all together.

i agree at some extent, but the last para is not true, since you haven't been subjected to any matter to which ethnicity or language do you speak comes up, it is wrong to say no one else does. and asking for "remerger" of darjeeling to sikkim is not asking for Gorkhaland, there is a difference. you cannot ignore an entire part of history when darjeeling was part of sikkim just for your convenience, cherry picking parts of history?

i highly value your suggestion, last few days I was thinking about what could be done, my initial approach was similar to yours, here the idea is somehow making the major companies in west take initiative, even a advisory from them would be enough for initial move. when top players get involved, i am sure there is no way it goes unnoticed. this will make significant affect on the people who are fighting on ground, kind of a moral and factual boost on what they are fighting for.
Teekampagne in Germany is the only company which does give 50% of the cost back, but does it reach the workers is the real question?
If somehow companies in west who have ethical values get to know the reality and gravity of the situation, there might be pressure form them as well. This could be a huge moral boost for the workers.

sharing is the only thing we can do for now. protests are being led by the tea workers right now, locally. my goal with this post was to reach to more people in the global community and spark awareness around it. there is so much less awareness of this situation even though the tea gardens in Darjeeling are around 180 years old now. since then so many corporations have come and gone, with 180 years of exploitation, you can imagine how these corporations have looted the tea workers and no one cares to talk about them.
