Bharatiya Gorkha Parisangh (Nepali: भारतीय गोर्खा परिसंघ; translation: Indian Gorkha Confederation) is a non-government national-level organization of Gorkhas (Nepali) ethnic group of India.
Bharatiya Gorkha Parisangh was established in 2001. It has its headquarters at Siliguri, in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal and unit offices in almost all the regions of India, including the states of Delhi, Sikkim, Assam, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Jharkhand, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. Its former National President Munish Tamang resigned before joining the Congress party.[1]
The Bharatiya Gorkha Parisangh is committed to the vision of a Gorkha (Nepali) society in India, recognized and accepted as a dignified, cultured and patriotic society at par with any other civilized modern Indian society enjoying the full rights and privileges enshrined in the Indian Constitution.
The Bharatiya Gorkha Parisangh is committed to the task of bonding each and every member of the Gorkha community in a national, unified body through systematic planning and orientation, thereby strengthening and guiding them in all aspects of their social, cultural, educational, economic and political growth.
Bharatiya Gorkha Parisangh has identified six issues of the Indian Gorkhas to be resolved at the national level:
The Bharatiya Gorkha Parisangh has both institutional and individual memberships. Many cultural, literary and social organizations are associated with it. The Parisangh also has individuals in its rolls, including eminent political leaders, litterateurs, cultural personalities, academicians and professionals. Its main membership - and its strength - however, remains the mass of common people who aspire to be active players in the progress of India.
