Gorkha National Liberation Front
Gorkha National Liberation Front (GNLF) (Nepali: गोर्खा राष्ट्रिय मुक्ति मोर्चा) is a political party in the Darjeeling District of West Bengal, India. It was formed in 1980 by Subhash Ghisingh with the objective of demanding a Gorkhaland state within India.
Early history
During the 1980s, the GNLF led an intensive and often violent campaign for the creation of a separate Gorkhaland state in the Nepali-speaking areas of northern West Bengal (Darjeeling, Dooars and Terai). The movement reached its peak around 1985–1986. On 22 August 1988, the GNLF, under Subhash Ghisingh, signed the Darjeeling Hill Accord, which created the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council (DGHC) in exchange for the GNLF giving up its demand for Gorkhaland.
Electoral history
State assembly
GNLF boycotted the West Bengal state assembly elections in 1991. In the assembly elections in 1996, 2001, and 2006, GNLF won three assembly seats, one each from Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Kurseong.

by: New HollowIt's been awhile since I saw your face
Maybe that's helped me move on
But I met a girl not a day too late
And of her I'm awfully fond
And I hope my remedies don't show
As I try to try to let you go
'Cause it's awkward; oh so hard to see
The similarities
She's got your hair
She's got your eyes
She's got your exact same horoscope sign
She may be pretty
She's something new
But that means nothing
She ain't you
I find it hard not to look your way
But I get in what I can
And I find this song just a bit cliché
But I pray that you'll understand
That there's nothing, nothing on her mind
And she's far too, (far too), far too kind
If you miss me, Kiss me one more time
At least for old time's sake
She's got your hair
She's got your eyes
She's got your exact same horoscope sign
She may be pretty
She's something new
But that means nothing
She ain't you
She's got your hair
She's got your eyes
She's got your nineties' sweatshirt style
She may be pretty
She's something new
But that means nothing
She's got your hair
She's got your eyes
She's got your exact same horoscope sign
She may be pretty
She's something new
But that means nothing
