Even though times have changed & Darjeeling looks a lot different now. The essence of this beautiful city will always remain the same. If you haven't yet come visit Darjeeling. Enjoy the calm weather, an awesome view of the mighty Kanchenjunga, feel the warm hospitality of the people there & you'll fall in love with this place. I'm from siliguri & I love taking weekend trips & rides to Darjeeling. Hope once the Corona situation gets normal tourism is gonna start flowing again.

It was more beautiful back thn... No pollution pure air... It was not so much crowded. And if you notice this strain was on good speed that time.

Wish the British lived here, our place would have been far better than what it is today

[@tapangupta7969]

British come in very large numbers to Nepal. You will love that too.

[@nishantchhetri5961]

@@tapangupta7969 Darjeeling was loved and developed by the Britishers, unlike what it is today where some uneducated person think that Darjeeling is in Nepal

[@rahulnegi6698]

@@nishantchhetri5961 yes, it is true that Hillstations or Hilly areas of India like Darjeeling, Massoorie, Nainital, Shimla, etc are developed by Britishers, and they connect us from the rest of the Nation...it's and an true fact, but there is an another side also that they made us slave and they never want to see us to live on their Hillstations, where we are living today, so it was important for us to let the Britishers go back to their England. But the poor management of these corrupt politicians make these living heavens a dead now, we need some leaders for the development of these Hilly areas. Love from Dehradun ❤️ Jai Hind.

[@samulrai2071]

Siliguri had flooded during Making of Bangladesh as they were Pakistani not Indian and who are shouting that Gorkha is foreigner now,,,like Bagala bhasa committee, Amra Bengali etc. So they have mind set as Pakistani not Indian but Indian Gorkha always have spirit of Indianess and ready for motherland's security , integrity of India whereas so called Bengala bhasa committee Amra Bengali enthusiasm for Pakistani ideology

[@smulestar]

Can outsiders settle in Darjeeling

[@samulrai2071]

Pakistani Bengali infested during Bangladesh's making ( Bangladesh were East Pakistan) at North Bengal . For your kind information please see voters list of 1950 of Kurseong Siliguri was MLA constituency even 1970 s and more years as per records of Election Commission and now some Pre Pakistani Bengali are shouting that Gorkha s are foreigner . So this is video proff who were in pre Indipendent India or During British India In Gorkhaland.
