Siliguri Corridor : Chicken Neck the Demand for Gorkhaland
Praveen Dwivedi · Kautilya Books
There is a narrow strip of land in north Bengal that narrows, at one point, to barely twenty-two kilometres. Through it passes everything: goods, fuel, trains, military logistics, civilian traffic, the vital links connecting mainland India to eight northeastern states and nearly fifty million citizens. Sever it and the northeast is not merely metaphorically isolated. It becomes physically disconnected from the Indian mainland in every practical sense that matters. Most Indians do not know this strip of land exists. Those who do are vaguely aware of it as a map detail near Siliguri. Fewer still understand what depends on it. And the few who have spent years thinking seriously about it tend to discuss it mainly with one another, in conferences, policy journals and strategic briefings that rarely leave institutional circles.
