The agitation for the creation of a separate [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodoland"]Bodoland[/url] state resulted in an agreement between the Indian Government, the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assam"]Assam[/url] state government and the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodo_Liberation_Tigers_Force"]Bodo Liberation Tigers Force[/url]. Per that agreement of 10 February 2003, the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodoland_Territorial_Council"]Bodoland Territorial Council[/url], an entity subordinate to the government of Assam, was created to govern four districts covering 3082 Bodo-majority villages in Assam.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proposed_states_and_territories_of_India#cite_note-15"][size="2"][15][/size][/url][/sup][sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proposed_states_and_territories_of_India#cite_note-16"][size="2"][16][/size][/url][/sup] Elections to the council were held on 13 May 2003, and Hagrama Mahillary was sworn in as chief of the 46-member council on 4 June 2003.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proposed_states_and_territories_of_India#cite_note-17"][size="2"][17][/size][/url][/sup]

[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorkhaland"]Gorkhaland[/url] ([url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepali_language"]Nepali[/url]: गोर्खाल्याण्ड) is a proposed state covering areas inhabited by the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Gorkha"]Gorkha[/url] people, namely [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darjeeling_district"]Darjeeling hills[/url] and [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dooars"]Dooars[/url] in the northern part of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bengal"]West Bengal[/url].[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proposed_states_and_territories_of_India#cite_note-sailendebnath-22"][size="2"][22][/size][/url][/sup] The movement for Gorkhaland has gained momentum in the line of ethno-linguistic-cultural sentiment of the people who desire to identify themselves as Gorkha.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proposed_states_and_territories_of_India#cite_note-23"][size="2"][23][/size][/url][/sup]
The demand for a separate administrative region has existed since 1907, when the Hillmen's Association of Darjeeling submitted a memorandum to the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morley-Minto_reforms"]Morley-Minto reforms[/url] committee.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proposed_states_and_territories_of_India#cite_note-24"][size="2"][24][/size][/url][/sup] After Indian independence, the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akhil_Bharatiya_Gorkha_League"]Akhil Bharatiya Gorkha League[/url] (ABGL) was the first political party from the region to demand greater identity for the Gorkha ethnic group and economic freedom for the community. In 1980, the Pranta Parishad of Darjeeling wrote to the then Prime Minister of India, [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indira_Gandhi"]Indira Gandhi[/url], with the need to form a state for the Gorkhas.
The movement for a separate state of Gorkhaland gained serious momentum during the 1980s, when a violent agitation was carried out by [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorkha_National_Liberation_Front"]Gorkha National Liberation Front[/url] (GNLF) led by [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subhash_Ghising"]Subhash Ghising[/url]. The agitation ultimately led to the establishment of a semiautonomous body in 1988 called the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darjeeling_Gorkha_Hill_Council"]Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council[/url] (DGHC) to govern certain areas of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darjeeling_district"]Darjeeling district[/url]. However, in 2008, a new party called the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorkha_Janmukti_Morcha"]Gorkha Janmukti Morcha[/url] (GJM) raised the demand for a separate state of Gorkhaland once again.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proposed_states_and_territories_of_India#cite_note-25"][size="2"][25][/size][/url][/sup] In 2011, GJM signed an agreement with the state and central governments for the formation of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorkhaland_Territorial_Administration"]Gorkhaland Territorial Administration[/url], a semiautonomous body that replaced the DGHC in the Darjeeling hills.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proposed_states_and_territories_of_India#cite_note-26"][size="2"][26][/size][/url][/sup]

The main reason for the demand for a separate state is the perceived cultural and economical differences between eastern and western Uttar Pradesh, in that the western part resembles Haryana and Rajasthan more than it does eastern Uttar Pradesh. The most prominent advocate for the creation of the new state is [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajit_Singh_(Indian_politician)"]Ajit Singh[/url], the leader of the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashtriya_Lok_Dal"]Rashtriya Lok Dal[/url] party.

[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vidarbha"]Vidarbha[/url] ([url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathi_language"]Marathi[/url]: विदर्भ) is a region that comprises the Amravati and Nagpur divisions of eastern [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharashtra"]Maharashtra[/url]. The State Reorganization Act of 1956 placed Vidarbha in Bombay State. Shortly after this, the state reorganisation commission recommended the creation of "Vidarbha state" with Nagpur as the capital, but instead it was included in Maharashtra state, which was formed on 1 May 1960.
Support for a separate state of Vidarbha had been expressed by Loknayak Bapuji Aney and Brijlal Biyani Vidarbha. The demand for the creation of a separate state are based on allegations of neglect by the Maharashtra state government. Jambuwantrao Dhote led a popular struggle for Vidarbha statehood in the 1970s. Two politicians, N.K.P. Salve and Vasant Sathe, have led 21st century attempts to bring about a state of Vidarbha.
