West Bengal state Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Gorkha People's Liberation Front (GJM) supremo Bimal Gurung, and Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram wave to the crowd at Pintail village in the outskirts of Siliguri on July 18, 2011. India signed an "historic" deal July 18 granting autonomy to an ethnic group in the Himalayan tea-growing area of Darjeeling that has fought for decades for a homeland. Indian Gorkhas, who are ethnic Nepalese, have led a violent campaign since the 1980s demanding that the separate state of Gorkhaland be carved out of West Bengal's mountainous district of Darjeeling.
