As luck would have it, the ‘Hanuman’ to ‘Ravana’ transition of Darjeeling MP Jawasnt Singh took place against the backdrop of 3rd tripartite meeting held at secretarial level that resulted in-as expected without any astonishment-no substantial result except for the agreement to exorcise ghosts from the past and forming an ‘alternative administrative setup’ (without naming it, which indicates denial). This is by the way 26th call for a separate homeland (counted by Dr. Sonam Wangyal) and it has been droned through a fetid century of disgusting regional and national politics. More than a thousand people died without ‘seeing’ or say in the process of ‘showing’ or ‘making it happen’ what it would be like ‘Gorkhaland payo bhane sungur le pani nuniya chamal ko bhhat khhanccha’ (even pigs will have basmati rice to chomp on if Gorkhaland forms), a slogan popularised by a raconteur that had caught fancy of gullible hills in 80s. Now its calm, but uncertainty looms large with some certainty for sure.
