GYASA

25th June 2016 Delhi: Raju Chetry (24 years), a Gorkha brother from Duliajan, Assam defeated the death after getting extremely injured in a road accident in South Delhi.

Words are not enough to explain the smile that I have seen in his face today, though the wound is still profound and painful. It reminded me a quote from Dalai Lama and I quote “When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us to develop inner happiness and peace”.

Today is the fourth day since the fateful night of 20th June, when the tragic road accident almost taken his life.

All Assam Gorkha Student Union (AAGSU) Delhi Unit has been constantly trying our best to provide all possible help and assistance whatever we can do with our limited resources.

NRC in Assam: State coordinator Prateek Hajela

Earlier a meeting was held with the DC of Sonitpur and representatives of ‪AAGSU‬ and Asom Gorkha Sammelan and the DC had agreed to give a written reply on Monday.

What is  National Register of Citizens - NRC?
The National Register of Citizens (NRC) is the register containing details of all Indian citizens. After conducting the Census of 1951, the National Register of Citizens (NRC) was prepared by recording particulars of all the persons enumerated during the 1951 Census.

What is NRC 1951?
After the conduct of the Census of 1951, a National Register of Citizens (NRC) was prepared in respect of each village showing the houses or holdings in a serial order and indicating against each house or holding the number and names of persons staying therein, and in respect of each individual, the father’s name/mother’s name or husband’s name, nationality, sex, age, marital status, educational qualification, means of livelihood or occupation and visible identification mark. This was done by copying out in registers the particulars recorded during the Census done in 1951. This NRC was prepared under a directive from the Ministry of Home affairs (MHA).

These registers covered each and every person enumerated during the Census of 1951 and were kept in the offices of Deputy Commissioners and Sub Divisional Officers according to instructions issued by the Government of India in 1951. Later these registers were transferred to the Police in the early 1960s.

What is NRC Updation?

National Register of Citizens (NRC) updation basically means the process of enlisting the names of all citizens residing in Assam at the time of NRC updation.

How will the NRC be updated?
The NRC will be updated as per the provisions of The Citizenship Act, 1955 and The Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and Issue of National Identity Cards) Rules, 2003. As per the two statutes, the citizenship status would be ascertained based on the NRC, 1951, Electoral Rolls up to the midnight of 24th March, 1971 and in their absence the other admissible documents of Pre-1971 period.

Rakesh Furba Sherpa, in desparation, wrote the following Open Letter to PM Narendra Modi.

प्रति,
आदर्णीय नरेंद्र मोदी जी ।
प्रधान मंत्री, भारत सरकार ।

विषय :- न्याय के संदर्भ में ।

महोदय,
बड़ी ही दुख के साथ केहना पड़ रहा हैं कि यह तस्वीर हमारे असम राज्य के तिनसुकीया जिले के अंतर्गत मार्घेरिटा महकुमा बोरगोलाई की निवासी चम्पा छेत्री की हैं । जो मार्घेरिटा शहर में पार्लर का काम सिख रही थी । जिसकी उम्र करीब २० वर्ष की थी । बिते २९/०४/१६ की शाम जब चम्पा बहन पार्लर का काम समाप्त कर घर वापस लौट रही थी तो आज तक वह घर पहुँची ही नही ।
किसीने बताया की चम्पा बहन की लास नदी में तैर रही हैं । अपने परिवार की लाडली हमेशा के लिए अपने परिवार को छोड़कर चली गयी ।
परन्तु, प्रधान मंत्री महोदय जी, यह घटना कोई आम घटना नही, जो कि किसीकी प्यार में एक लड़की ने खुदकुशी कर ली ।

असल में हमारी बहन चम्पा छेत्री, ईन्सान के रुप में भेड़ीयो के हवस का शिकार हुई थी । उसे गिद्ध की तरह नोचा गया था । उसे बलात्कार कर नदी में मरने के लिए फेंक दिया गया । उसकी गलती ही क्या थी........? कि वह एक लड़की हैं ।
अरे उसे तो मालुम भी न था कि आज उसकी जिन्दगी का आखिरी दिन हैं ।
उसे क्या पता था कि आज कुछ पाखण्डी उसकी ईज्जत के साथ खेलने वाले हैं ।

बेड़ी ही दुख की बात हैं प्रधान मंत्री महोदय जी, जो घटना निर्भया के साथ हुई थी, वही घटना आज फिर असम के एक युवती के साथ हुई ।
फर्क सिर्फ ईतना हैं कि दिल्ली में कई सारे न्यूज चेनल उपलब्ध हैं जैसे AajTak, ABP news, NDTV india, Times NOW, । जिनके चलते सरकार तक बाते पहुँच पाती हैं । अगर कुछ घटनाए होती हैं तो वह बड़ी Issue बन जाती हैं । इस तरह से Telecast करते हैं कि प्याज के बड़ते कीमत की वजह से सरकारें बदल जाते हैं । राजनैतीक मुद्दा बनाया जाता हैं ।

लेकिन हमारा क्या ???? 
हमें आपलोगो तक बातें पहुँचाने के लिए क्या करना पड़ेगा ?

क्योंकि चेनल वालो को असम तथा उत्तरपूर्व की घटनाओ पर दिलचस्पी हैं ही नही और असमीया न्यूज आपलोग समझते नही ।
करे तो क्या करें यह अभागी जनता ?

जब इस घटना को लेकर लोगो में गुस्सा उमड़ रहा था तो लोग सड़क पर आकर आंदोलन करने लगे । अपने मन की भड़ास निकालने के लिए लोग नारेबाजी करने लगे ।अपने बहन/बेटी न्याय के लिए हाय-हाय, मुर्दाबाद का नारा लगाया गया । तो क्या हुआ. ? क्या ईस्से सरकार की कुर्सी चली गयी ?
क्या सरकार डगमगा गयें ? 

पुलिस केहती हैं कि **अराजकता** फैल गयी हैं । एकबार पुलिस वाले भी आन्दोलन में उतर जाए तो इनका क्या होगा ???
क्या ईस वक्त ईस तरह की बाते पुलिसवालों द्वारा कहना उचित हैं ?

**अराजकता** कौन फैला रहा हैं? साधारण लोग? जिन्हे दो वक्त की रोटी के लिए कितने मेहनत करने पड़ते हैं ।
क्या **अराजकता** फैलाने के लिए उनके पास समय हैं?

प्रधान मंत्री महोदय जी, 
ईन दो साल की कार्यकाल में आप संसार के विभिन्न देशो में घुमकर, उन देशो से नयी-नयी चीजें भारत में ला रहे हैं । कभी MODERN INDIA तो कभी MAKE IN INDIA कभी Infrastructure की बातें करते हैं तो कभी DIGITAL INDIA की बातें करते हैं । कभी *प्रधान मंत्री सड़क योजना* *प्रधान मंत्री बिमा योजना* कभी *अटल पेंसन योजना* ।

ये सभी अच्छी बातें हैं । हम भी ईन सभी योजनाओ का समर्थन करतें हैं ।

परन्तु, आपने कभी उन देशों में बलात्कारीयों पर किस तरह की सजा दी जाती हैं, ईस विषय में जान्ने की कोशिश की ? 
कभी आपने विदेशो के कानून व्यवस्था पर ध्यान दिए ?
बाहरी मुल्क पर महिलाओ के सुरक्षा के प्रति किस तरह के नियम हैं ?
यदि महिलाओ/युवतियों पर कोई गन्दी नजर से देखता हैं तो उसपर किस तरह की कार्यवाही की जाती हैं, इस विषय पर क्या आपने अध्यन कियें ?

मुझे लगता हैं २ वर्ष की कार्यकाल में विदेश जाकर महिलाओ के सुरक्षा के प्रति आपने न तो किसी भी प्रकार की अध्ययन कियें और ना ही ईसमें आपको कोई रुचि हैं ।

कास आपकी भी ३/४ बेटियाँ होती !! तो सायद ईस विषय पर आप ध्यान देतें ।
महिलाओ के सुरक्षा के प्रति कड़े से कड़े नियम बनातें ।

अगर ईसी तरह रहा तो देखना कुछ दिन बाद आपके अपने Party के Rallyओ में एक भी महिला समर्थक नही मिलेंगे और तब ये मत कहियेगा कि RAKESH FURBA SHERPA ने आपको सुचित नही किया था ।

आशा करता हुँ हमारी प्यारी सी बहन चम्पा छेत्री के हत्यारों/बलात्कारियो को जल्द कड़ी सी कड़ी सजा मिलें ।

॥ ॐ शान्ति शान्ति ॥
॥ चम्पा बहन अमर रहे ॥

AAGSU appealed Harka Bahadur to support Gorkhaland demand

Politics

Darjeeling 22 Jan 2016 Asserting that a separate state was the birth right of the Gorkhas of the country, the All Assam Gorkha Students’ Union (AAGSU) today appealed to Kalimpong MLA Harka Bahadur Chhetri to stop indulging in opportunistic politics and instead support the Gorkhaland demand.

A four-member AAGSU delegation led by Prem Tamang, the outfit’s president, is in Darjeeling to meet GorkhaJanmuktiMorcha president Bimal Gurung and lend its support for the statehood demand. On Wednesday, the delegation, comprising Rohit Lamsal, the organisational secretary, Raj Newar, the publicity secretary and SantoshChhetri, an executive member of the body, held a press conference in Darjeeling and announced that AAGSU would even organise rallies against the Kalimpong MLA in Assam in the coming days. “In Darjeeling certain people like Chhetri are indulging in opportunistic politics in the name of development. It must however, be remembered that the statehood demand is not only of the Darjeeling hills, but of the entire Gorkha community of the country,” Tamang said. “The Kalimpong MLA is also a son of the soil. But he is trying to divide the people with development issues. Our identity and not development is our priority at the moment,” he added. Chhetri, after severing ties with the GJM, has announced he would float a political party on January 27. But he has refused to prioritise the statehood demand and instead is banking on development issues to garner people’s support.

The AAGSU president reiterated that Gorkhas living in Assam and the Northeast had always supported the statehood cause and would continue to do so in future, the reason being for identity. “We (Gorkhas) have always been labelled as ‘outsiders’ and ‘foreigners’ even though we have and continue to sacrifice our lives for the nation. Therefore, for the sake of the 35 lakh Gorkhas in Assam and over 1 crore in the country, a separate Gorkha state becomes imperative. On the question of the apparent need of development of the region for the welfare of the hill people being more important than that of a separate state which needs to get the nod of the state government and parliament and which could take a while, the AAGSU president said.

“Development and rights are two different issues. Once our right is achieved things like development will follow. In fact, we fail to fathom why the Bengal government talks of development only when the statehood issue gets positive response,” Tamang pointed out.
The AAGSU members also questioned the Kalimpong MLA’s claim to taking credit for a new district saying it was only to confuse the people.

“In Assam five new districts and 12 sub-divisions were formed without any demand for them. So why is Chhetri claiming credit for a separate Kalimpong district? We feel once a state is achieved, the leaders and administrators can always work on it according to the needs,” Tamang reasoned.

Sikkim and Assam trying to ouster Darjeeling and Darjeelingeys - Alleges Bimal Gurung

10:48 AM

•

Sikkim

Lamenting the increasing instances of labeling people from Darjeeling as "outsiders," the (GJM) Gorkha Janmukti Morcha chief Bimal Gurung said, Sikkim and Assam forgot the contributions made by Darjeeling and Darjeelingey's in helping to build their state.

Bimal Gurung

Speaking at a public function in Munsong, the GJM Chief said, "we helped in building Sikkim, we helped in building Assam... the contributions made by Darjeelingey's, helped in building Bhagsu and Dehradun... from writers, poets, educationists, musicians, footballers, litterateurs... from drivers to hard working laourers... Darjeeling residents have contributed towards building Sikkim, Assam and other places... but today, the Darjeeling born are being targeted in both Assam as well as Sikkim"

Highlighting the fact that any female married to a Sikkimey, who are from Darjeeling and outside Sikkim are not given "Sikkim Subject," Mr. Gurung said, "Today Sikkim seems to have forgotten all the contributions made by us... today they are finding reasons to ouster Darjeelingey's from Sikkim."

He further stated, "Whenever the issue of Gorkhaland was raised in the Parliament, Sikkim has not extended its support... and even though they say that they will support us verbally, practically they have not done anything... and have remained quiet"

Instead, he said, "they use us whenever it is their need, and once their need is over, they tend to label us as 'outsiders,' 'WGY,' 'pari-pattiko.'"

Requesting all the qualified youth to comeback to Darjeeling and help in rebuilding our region, and assist in taking Darjeeling back to its former glory, Mr. Gurung said, "Darjeeling has today become the 'land for birth and death'... our people are born here, but they have to leave during their youth, and after spending a lifetime contributing to another place, they comeback to spend their retirement here.... all our youth, energy, vigour is spent in building other places... and once our people get old, we are told, now go back to the place you came from... Hence, I request our youth, come back while you are still young... come and help in rebuilding Darjeeling."

He added, "time has come for all of us to work together, to build our own home, to fulfill our dream and destiny... else we will end up becoming like Darjeeling Himalayan Railway... a heritage place... but at the same time an outdated relic of the distant past."

He further stated, "even though GTA is not a perfect body, it is striving to provide development and employment opportunities for our youth... let us all join hands to rebuild our hills."

It is indeed shocking to hear the anti-Darjeeling rhetoric in the political circles of Sikkim these days. Given the fact that CM Pawan Kumar Chamling's own children, half of his Cabinet Ministers and their children, and more that 50% of Sikkim's bureaucrats, teachers etc studied in the schools, colleges and University in Darjeeling, one would expect him to be more considerate towards Darjeelingey's.

We are one people, and we request the political parties in both Sikkim and Darjeeling to work towards binding the people, and not indulging in exchanging rhetoric that will divide us further.

Gorkha Students’ Union (GDGSU) silver jubilee celebrations
begins with call for creation of GAC

Addressing the inaugural day of silver jubilee of GDGSU and 38th foundation day of AAGSU Nanda Kirati Dewan said,’ 2015 is the Diamond Jubilee year of organized Gorkha Students Union in Assam (1955-2015) and on the eve of 60th Years of Gorkha Students Union in Assam the state wide All Assam Gorkha Students' Union celebrates its 38th Foundation today as the state wide Gorkha students’ union was first formed on 26th Dec 1976 at Paltan Bazar in Guwahati under the leadership od Dr. Harkha Bahadur Chhetri and Dambar Mani Pradhan. However the history of organized Gorkha students union dates back to 1955 with formation of Darrang Gorkha Chhatra Sangh in middle Assam followed by Digboi Gorkha Chatra Sangh in upper Assam and Greater Guwahati Gorkha Chatra Sangh etc. In 2014 we stepped in the 70th year of Assam Pradeshik Gorkha League the Assam unit of All India Gorkha League (AIGL) which later was rechristened as Assam Gorkha Sammelan after the Garhpal conference in 1966. Over the 70 years of organization in Assam, what the Gorkhas achieved is very meager.’
AAGSU’s Sr. Leader further added, ‘As I introspect 60 years of Gorkha Students union in Assam I see the Gorkhas have entangled conflict of indigenousity and ethnicity marred by identity crisis time and again and autonomy that is Gorkha Autonomous Council (GAC) is the only solution to resolve the issues and concerns of the Gorkhas in Assam. As the Gorkhas in Golaghat celebrates 25 years of successful organisation, I must congratulate ourselves for having the first martyr Birbal Limboo from Doyang region of Golaghat. GDGSU have played a pivotal role in raising the demand of Gorkha Autonomous Council (GAC) since 2002.
Later replying to queries of the medapersons regarding renewing demand of GAC in Sarupathar Dewan said, ‘Gorkha Autonomos Council(GAC) is a decade long demand of the Gorkhas in Assam raised by All Assam Gorkha Students’ Union (AAGSU) since 2002. Gorkhas of Assam I am referring to are those communities in Assam which have been living in ancient Assam i.e Kamrupa days and even before, which also has its roots in various regions of present day in India like Himachal Pradesh, Uttarkhand, Sikkim and proposed Gorkhaland and subsequently in British days the ex-Army Gorkha soldiers who were settled in Assam. Today all their descendants in the geography of Assam here I am using the terminology ‘Gorkhas of Assam or Gorkhas’ certainly not the Nepali (Nepali nationals in India and Assam who migrated to a foreign land abiding a treaty) the reciprocal one.
The last executive meeting of AAGSU Golaghat district committee was presided over by its president Prem Newar to pave the way for Delegate Session of Golaghat District Gorkha Students’ Union to be held from 5pm and to be inaugurated by Romeo P Narzary, General Secretary, All Bodo Students’ Union (ABSU). The delegate session this evening will constitute new AAGSU Golaghat District Committee. Mouth piece editor of AAGSU Purushattam Subba and AAGSU CEM Nanda Kirati Dewan along with AAGSU Advisor Bhim Bahadur Rai are observers of the delegate session. Tonight natives and ex-AAGSU workers will perform in the cultural nite.
