Abstract:
The victim of both geographical, historical and administrative isolation, Darjeeling owed its growth to tea cultivation in the hills by migrants from neighbouring Nepal collectively called Gorkhas. Their contributions notwithstanding, they felt discriminated by West Bengal’s residents to whose state they were administratively attached. Poverty and poor working conditions, with no voice in the tea estates, and poorly maintained infrastructure that brought frequent landslides have fuelled demands for “Gorkhaland”, a homeland separate from West Bengal, where the distinctiveness of their identity and their role as Indian citizens would be fully recognised. It did not help that the Darjeeling district had been administratively detached from the political mainstream. Periodic agitations against the state government have weakened local institutions, disrupted the local economy impacting adversely tea production and tourism on which the local economy and the Gorkhas depend. The West Bengal government had partly recognised Gorkha demands by establishing the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council and the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) each vested with limited autonomy. But disagreements on autonomy have left the Gorkhaland issue unresolved. In the meantime, Darjeeling continues to experience gradual decay, absent adequate support from the West Bengal government and from Darjeeling’s local government, including the GTA itself.

Abstract:
The 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendment acts, established Panchayat Raj Institutions in India through which it formed the panchayats and municipalities and the elected local governments under it. It devolved the local governments more powers and responsibilities. The Constitution mandates the panchayats and municipalities in the grassroot level be elected every five years and States are required to delegate tasks and responsibilities to them through legislation. However, in Darjeeling Hills since the violent Gorkhaland crises of 1982-88 and the founding of the autonomous body Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council (DGHC) in 1988 for the economic, social, cultural and educational advancement of the people of Darjeeling hills, the three tier Panchayat system has lost its relevance. From then onwards, the decentralisation of power in the Darjeeling hill area has been curtailed. The case of decentralisation in rural Darjeeling hills is distinct from that in other parts of the country and even within the state. People at the grassroots level no longer participate in Panchayat elections. There is a bigger loophole in the decentralisation setup in the village level of Darjeeling hills. Right now under GTA, the two tier Panchayat election is going to be conduct in the Hills. The study focuses on the nature of decentralisation in Darjeeling hills how the historical practice of decentralisation is practiced, the existing nature and will try to answer how will it shape if the two tier election is conducted in the near future.
