The settlement

So the govt. finally agrees to solve the Gujjar and the gorkhaland problem. However due to shortage of time, (concerned VIPs need headed for a foreign summer jaunt) both parties are invited to new delhi on the same date!

amid much fanfare, truce is announced and papers are signed. V signs are displayed and smiles, handshakes all abound with about 11612 handycams recording every second of the "breaking news".

much pleased Mr. Gurung and Col. Kriori reach their respective Burroughs. then some one decides to read the document. Alas, some lower level govt. babu messed up while taking out the print-outs!!!

Gujjars have got a new state and gorkhas hv ST status!!!!

Now sunburnt bayana-wallahs are repairing tracks to make their way to new jalpaiguri, while gorkhas are figuring out where the caste-certificate babu sits!
