In order to understand, complexities between labour, trade union and tea industry in Darjeeling hills, it requires to be discussed the origin of tea industry. As far as the origin of tea industry in Darjeeling hills is concerned, during early 1850s the first experimental tea plantation started. By 1856, experimental tea plantation was trans- formed into full-fledged commercial industry in Darjeeling hills. Owing to increasing demand of tea, the planters require more labour forces. However, since the beginning of tea industry in Darjeeling, one can understand that the living conditions of workers are said to be poor. As we shall see, the origin of trade union in tea industry began during 1940s to mobilize the workers voice. Thus, this study tries to examine the existing socio-economic conditions of tea garden workers and how trade unions are active to mobilize the workers’ voice. Keywords: Labour, Trade Union, Tea Industry, Plantation and Darjeel- ing. 1 INTRODUCTION started the experimental cultivation near Alubari and Jalpahar areas of Darjeeling at an elevation of 7000 arjeeling is an integral part of eastern Hi- ft.

Chapter2 History Of.Qarjeeling
107 Chapter2 History of.Qarjeeling Early History of Darjeeling On the facts assimilated from the archaeological relics found in Badamtarn about ·14 kilometers far from Darjeeling it has been apparent that there was a mixed civilization in the undivided .Sikkim which dates back to the 12th century where we find the traces of ' ' ' . the Magar, the Lepcha and Limbu Kings ruling in this part of the World. Sikkim at one time extended far to the west and included Limbuan (home of Limbus), now in Nepal. ,. Mr. Hooker believed that the Lepchas, Limbus,'the Magars and the Murmis (Tamangs) were the aboriginal inhabitants of the undivided Sikkim (before the advent of the Tibetans in Sikkim). 1 Up to the beginning of the 18th century, Darjeeling was a part of the dominions of the Raja of Sikkim. In 1706 the King of Bhutan annexed what are now Kalimpong and Rhenock.2 The Raja of Sikkim )ater became engaged in unsuccessful struggles with the Gorkhas who had seized power' in Nepal and invaded Sikkim in I 780. During the next thirty years they overran Sikkim as far east as the Tista and conquered and annexed the· Terai.3 The Gorkhas celebrated their victory on the Maghe Sankranti day (middle of January) of 1789. The remnants of the Gorkfl_a army who did not return to Nepal had settled there and became the part and parcel ofSikkim.4 Prior to the year J 816, the vast territory of Sikkim belonged to the Nepalese who had won it by conquest from the Sikkimese.5 War broke out between the East India Company and the Nepalese (Anglo Nepalese War 1816) in which the Nepalese were defeated.
