Rural Vulnerability and Tea Plantation Migration in Eastern Nepal and Darjeeling Sarah Besky Department of Anthropology University of Wisconsin – Madison This paper will analyze migration from rural eastern Nepal to tea plantations in eastern Nepal and Darjeeling and the potentials such migration might represent for coping with rural vulnerability and food scarcity. I will contextualize this paper in a regional history of agricultural intensification and migration, which began in the eighteenth century with Gorkhali conquests of today’s Mechi region and continued in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries with the recruitment of plantation laborers from Nepal to British India. For many Kiranti ethnic groups, agricultural intensification resulted in social marginalization, land degradation due to over-population and over-farming, and eventual migration to Darjeeling to work on British tea plantations. The British lured Rais, Limbus, and other tribal peoples to Darjeeling with hopes of prosperity. When these migrants arrived, they benefited from social welfare like free housing, health care, food rations, nurseries, and plantation schools – things unknown to them under Nepal’s oppressive monarchal regime.

INTRODUCTION: 1.1 Darjeeling District has four Sub-Division namely Darjeeling, Kurseong, Kalimpong and Siliguri. Three Sub-Division are located in hill region and are is in plan. Kurseong is one of the hill Sub-Division with longitude and latitude as 880 17m East and 260 53m North respectively. 1.2 Historical perspective - In the year 1835 Darjeeling was selected and acquired by the then British India Govt. for the purpose of establishing health sanatorium and summer residence for their officers and the soldiers. The first road to Darjeeling via Kurseong was constructed from Titalya, which is also known as Military Road, as it was also meant for the Military purposes. But it has remained unplayable for the last five or six decades due to non maintenance and on constructing one more road, Hill Cart Road now known as Tenzing Norgay Road, connecting the plains of Bengal with Darjeeling via hilly sub-stations viz. Tindharia, Kurseong, Sonada and Ghoom. As far as the history goes, Darjeeling area including Kurseong was a part of Sikkim and it was in the year 1835 leased to the British India Govt. by the then Rajan of Sikkim on yearly remuneration. The original inhabitants of Kurseong and Darjeeling were the Lepchas and the word ‘Kharsang’ now known as Kurseong comes from the Lepcha word, meaning ‘The land of White Orchids’: botanically known as Ceologeny, which grows abundantly in the trees and rock crevasses here. 1.3 Background of Kurseong Municipality – Kurseong Municipality was established in the year 1879.

  • To Nadia District of West Bengal to Review Arsenic Mitigation Measures – 11Th and 12Th September, 2015
    Report on Field Visit of Joint Secretary (Water) to Nadia district of West Bengal to Review Arsenic Mitigation Measures – 11th and 12th September, 2015 Report on Field Visit of Joint Secretary (Water) to Nadia district of West Bengal to Review Arsenic Mitigation Measures – 11th and 12th September, 2015. Background: It was in the 80’s when Arsenic contamination in groundwater was detected for the first time in West Bengal. Soon after the detection of geogenic arsenic contamination of ground water, various short term measures like i) installation of hand pump tube wells at deeper aquifer ii) installation of arsenic removal units attached to the hand pumps iii) construction of new dug wells etc. were taken up. However, most of those shot term measures failed because of complicated operation and maintenance issues and non-acceptance by the society. Afterwards it was felt that a comprehensive action plan has to be taken to combat the Arsenic menace and therefore a Master Plan for Arsenic Mitigation was conceived in the year 2006-07 to cover 6623 habitations, at a cost of Rs. 2831 Crores (revised) under Water Quality Submission with a cost sharing of 75:25 between the Centre and the State. However this Water Quality Sub Mission was made an integral component of National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) since 1.4.2009. The Master Plan comprising of 338 nos. of new Groundwater based Piped Water Supply Schemes, 12 nos. of new Surface Water based Piped Water Supply Schemes & 165 nos. of Arsenic Removal Plants (ARP) in existing Groundwater based Schemes, is still under implementation under the NRDWP.

  • Bengal-Bangladesh Border and Women
    The Bengal-Bangladesh Borderland: Chronicles from Nadia, Murshidabad and Malda 1 Paula Banerjee Introduction Borderland studies, particularly in the context of South Asia are a fairly recent phenomenon. I can think of three works that have made borderlands, particularly the Bengal-Bangladesh borderland as the focal area of their study in the last one decade. Ranabir Samaddar’s The Marginal Nation: Transborder Migration From Bangladesh to West Bengal started a trend that was continued by Willem Van Schendel in his The Bengal Borderland: Beyond State and Nation in South Asia . Both these books argue that the border is part of larger zone or the borderland that at once constructs and subverts the nation. Samaddar goes beyond the security and immutable border discourse and problematises the borderland by speaking of flows across the border. He argues that such flows are prompted by historical and social affinities, geographical contiguity and economic imperative. People move when their survival is threatened and rigid borders mean little to the desperate. They question the nation form that challenges their existence. If need be they find illegal ways to tackle any obstacle that stand in their path of moving particularly when that makes the difference between life and death. Thereby Samaddar questions ideas of nation state and national security in present day South Asia when and if it privileges land over the people who inhabit that land. Van Schendel also takes the argument along similar lines by stating that without understanding the borderland it is impossible to understand the nation form that develops in South Asia, the economy that emerges or the ways in which national identities are internalized.
