I love Siliguri. Have fond memories of Siliguri. Beautiful city with a mixed culture. Would love to settle down in Siliguri some day.

U are always welcome
Same. Born and brought up in Kolkata but been to Siliguri and adjoining areas a lot of times. Each journey has had a beauty of it’s own. Ei sohortoke keno janina khoob apon mone hoi, bhobishyote ekhane amaro dirghosthali bosobash korar iccha achey.
The Cord team has done a n incredible job, your research and details are awesome. According to Lepcha theory Siliguri word derived from the word "Sali Gahri" (Sali=arrows, Gahri= Fort, means Fort of Arrows). Lepchas were the son of soil from Chhumbi Valley to east part of Nepal.
Wonderful and factful information. Loved that.
I was born in Siliguri. A city with all the requisites of a Cosmopolitan. Most peaceful city far away from dirty and cheap politics of West Bengal.People of different ethnicity staying together for decades. Developed by the residents and neglected by the governments. Need proper and planned development .
Love you Siliguri
Siliguri is the best place where Different culture living and thriving and progress. I have seen how Bengali community participate in chhat puja, during guru nank celebration or Durga puja Different communites come and celebrate each festival . awesome 👍
Long live brotherhood.

🇮🇳🇮🇳Siliguri is the place where all community's live together happily ❤. There are Bengalis, Rajbongshis, Nepalis, Santalis, Sikhs, Marwadi & Biharis. Nowadays we know the most peaceful and safe place is Siliguri in the West Bengal ❤. 🇮🇳🇮🇳
According to Sailen Debnath, "Siliguri" means a stack of pebbles or stones. Until the 19th century this region was called as "Shilchaguri" when there was dense Dolka forest covering the region. Siliguri was a small agricultural village in the Kingdom of Sikkim. It was captured by the Kingdom of Nepal in 1788, after which Kirati and Nepali Lepchas came to settle in this region
Partially true
But now due to demographic changes it has become a deep concern for national security in the entire region....but people who try to change history must know "history never changes"....
Koch kingdom saying hi 👋
Dnt u know silugudi is nepal
Siliguri was the part of Kamata kingdom. It belonged to Koch Rajbanshi people.
Only jalpaiguri dist part. Darjeeling dist part belonged to Sikkim n before it was morang division of limbuwan. Dhimal r plains limboo
@@rajivsarmah8413if you're saying about Siliguri then it's true but not entire Darjeeling district
You can still see most of the phansidewa khoribari naxalbari majority people are Koch rajbanshi
we live in a democracy not in a fuckall kingdom
😂😂😂 it will be a part of West Bengal.
😂😂Good joke

as a citizen of siliguri I must say aapne boht deep research ki hai and boht achi video banai hai...
Siliguri is best city of west bengal..
Love siliguri....
Thanks to make a video about my birth city. Siliguri ❤ .
It used to be a deep forest. There are some forests left but its in destruction process due to new buildings . Siliguri needs a serious urban planning, waste management and sewage management system. Rivers in Siliguri now turns into drains. Govt can developed aims hospital, national level universities and schools here but ... Cpim and TMC both kept the north Bengal undeveloped. Siliguri could become a important beautiful connecting city. But 😢 . There is the need of security in Siliguri. Security especially from muslim Bangladeshis and from China.
Yes you are absolutely correct as I am living there more than 19 years and I can feel it
As a resident I agree with you
The greenery is gone, beyond redemption now. All is lost.
Siliguri once had few hundreds of population, now in 2024, it's declared as metropolitan city, having population over 40 Lakhs (4 Million)
Proud to be siligurian❤️🙌

Jalpaiguri city jiska jsnam siliguri se vi age hua thha, lekin development ki daur me woh kyase siliguri se pichhar giya, uske upar ek video banaiyega......
Siliguri is the capital of another upcoming state
Sorry Siliguri connect with Tibet not China. When India was under British Raj for more then 200 years no one call India a England but why Indian and Indian government call Tibet a China?? Are they so afraid of china or ?? Yesterday I watched your video about Sikkim, my birth place. I found your channel so informative, so I subscribed to your channel. But today you’re miseducating your viewers. Do you know What ITBP stand for?
Right
❤❤❤
I agree. Visited nathula pass and corrected my friends that it’s not china border but tibet border controlled by Chinese army
Please be informed that Tibet is a part of China.
great video..i am a resident of this city and after knowing about the history of my city feels really amazing, thanks for making such videos.

As a Rajbanshi, We should have our own state, we should preserve our culture and language. North Bengal belong to us and Mountains(Kalimpong & Darjeeling) belong to Gorkhas.
Rajbanshi ✊🏼 Nepalese ✊🏼
having a different state and maintaining it is not a child's play. It will give birth to disastrous economic and social issues.
West bengal has already been partitioned from East Bengal. It will not happen again.
What u would control 2-3 districts !!! Don't make me laugh... It's even more dangerous
@@BengalWarrior Have you ever heard about the Coochbehar merger agreement? and Which West Bengal you are talking about? Present-day North Bengal was never a part of your West Bengal, it is the place of Koch-Rajbonshi, Gorkha Lepcha and other local tribes. #we want separate state or union territory.
@@YourManIsMe @tivo3720 what about Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura, Sikkim?? Would you accept if the Biharis come to West Bengal and rule the Bengalis?

@The Cord, Thankyou for reminding me of this wonderful area where I spent my schooldays.❤
Wat a lovly researchd presentation... got me hookd till the end, kudos
Siliguri is growing very fast .
But here we need manufacturing industries .
Didi hatao industries banao
@@theManojWall didi hatake left ayega to industry nehi banega.
1977-2006 kitna industries gya hai pata hai na ??
Violence v wohi time pe suru hua ab Tak chal raha hai .
Didi hatao lekin aisa govt Lao Jo Industry ko support kare .
Right dada
Manufacturing and heavy industry can't set up operations because of environmental concerns. Think about it, 5 out of 6 national parks of West Bengal are in northern region.
It's better suited for tourism, logistics, msme, service sector and agro based industries
Why manufacturing? Service industry is better. IT parks.
Siliguri should be second capital of west bengal
Like Nagpur of Maharashtra
#सिलीगुड़ी कि अद्भुत इतिहास जानकारी
Silgudi (Siliguri) वास्तव मे ऐतिहासिक जगह है हालाकी छोटी है।
मगर गड़ी गड़ से आया है। लेप्चा कोच धिमाल और राजबशीं समुदाय पहला था।
Correct. Probably it was part of Bhutanese empire? Not sure.

भाई आपने बहुत अच्छा Research किया
भाई एक बिनती आप से है
मैने अभी दो दिन पहले सुना की नेपाल 1903 मे भारत से अलग हुवा है
जहाँ तक मेरी जानकारी है ऐसा लगता नही
या तो इस बिसय मे मुझे जानकारी नहीं था
और नेपाल ने कभी किसी का गुलामि नहीं किया
तो इस बिसय मे एक video बनाए धन्यवाद 🙏 जय हिन्द 🇮🇳
Your channel is really informative and always enjoyable to see about the history of north east, your channel is reach a million subs in no time just wait and watch
Excellent video made by you it has given lots of information.
Thanks.
Unbelievable Research! 💛
I Live In This "Siliguri" (From My Birth), But First Time I Hearing Too Much About It 🤞🏻
Thank You So Much #TeamCord For The Informations 💛
❤❤❤
Love from Siliguri city my hometown
Beautiful, outstanding summation brother.
Thank u much.
Great video! Lots of information with brilliant editing! Wish your channel a great success 💐
Great effort👍I have a suggestion. You could add the 'partition' angle, that gave Siliguri a geographical advantage and it became a strategic point ~ the junction of North East India, Northern India and the rest of West Bengal.
If 'partition' were not there, it would not be the gateway of Nort East. I think the 'partition' had a major role in the development of Siliguri in post independence era.
By the way, I'm from Jalpaiguri. Jalpaiguri and Coochbehar have rich historical backgrounds too (I think you know). You can make videos on these two places.
I dont know why peoples are fighting here that im rajbonsi im nepali im bengali this was my mother land first . First of all we are all hindus lets unite and make our bharat hindu rastra once again . Original outsiders are british and mughal and converted bangladeshis they come and slowly occupying our bharat lets unite and be a son and daughter of bharat mata. And become a brave Hindus and lets fight against this. Bullas and yesus jai bhawani jai shivaji 🚩🚩🚩
Watching from sikkim
Proud to be Koch Rajbongshi 💛🌻
Presentation is outstanding, through this video I know very interesting thing about my Siliguri city.
siliguri deserves it hub. it has everything to become another it hub of bengal .

Thank you
It’s actually Sanskrit word silgadi. In Nepal also there’s place called silgadi in western part.
As a fellow Siligurian love this video
Thank you so much for this video 🙏
Our pride Our Siliguri
So Siliguri was once part of Sikkim, Coochbehar and finally Nepal too. That's point to be noted.
During hossainshahi it was part of gour samrajya...much before Nepal Sikkim or koch behar
@@parthamukherjee277 there was 0 pc bengali according to 1897 census. Siliguri was not ur gour samrajya. It was part of kirat kingdom that disintegrated to limbuwan , Koch kingdom. Limboo, Koch r kirat. Limboo mixed with gorkhali by culture , language. Koch mixed with bengali by culture, language . It was dark jungle between bengal n himalaya. Inhabited by limboo, dhimal , Koch . Sikkim got it through kirat chiefs in lepcha , limboo, Tibbetan treaty. Three founding tribes of Sikkim
Kudos to the entire research team at The Cord... Outstanding!!! ❤❤❤

Very informative video.. 👍👍
I love urs video## Siliguri mai 1971 mai Assam se bahut Bengali aaya. Siliguri belongs to Nepali.
Nepali both hindu and Christian have Nepal Kingdom, Muslims who speak Bengali have Bangladesh, Bengalis who are hindus have West Bengal in India..... If your identity is Nepali and not gorkha then please migrate to Nepal country..... Bangladesh are called Bangladeshis and Nepal are nepalis
Siliguri belongs to Rajbangshis.Original habitants of hill
Are Nepali but original habitants of Plain Tarai and Dooars are Rajbangshis.
@@utpalroy4633 lepchas are the original inhabitants of hills not Nepali, get your facts straight...... And Rajbongshis are there in Nepal, West Bengal, Bangladesh,Bihar, Assam
@@HindustanMemes9 yes Lepchas are also present in hill.I am a Rajbangshi myself.

Well observed and great explained
I am from jalpaiguri near by siliguri, siliguri is the most beautiful and fastest growing city in India.
Wow, what about Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, Indore? In what respect Siliguri is growing better than these cities?
Please check the crime rate of pune. Pune has poor public transport, so everyone needs to buy a bike or scooter. Roads are in pathetic condition. Frequent power cuts, my friend had a workshop in a place called pirangut, there was no power supply on Thursdays. Also many neighborhoods don't have proper water supply.
@@chinmaynaik6642 see, if you have higher education like masters in technology, business administration or something like fintech, it's almost certain that Siliguri can't provide you a rewarding career. Do you agree or not?
@@moinakbhattacharya878 I know few highly educated people living in siliguri but yes they have their own business. Job opportunities are less as compared to pune or Hyderabad. Each city has its own plus and minus points. I would never live in pune or Hyderabad due to high crime rate and inadequate water & power supply.
@@chinmaynaik6642 Truth be told, people who are highly educated will only stay back in Siliguri if they have old parents to look after. Education, healthcare, law and order, economic growth, industries, job opportunities - if any of these are priority to a family it is better to leave West Bengal in the first chance one gets. For my own knowledge - I would like to know from you what kind of business the highly educated people in Siliguri are really doing - don't take it otherwise, I really want to know. Is it tea dealers, timber dealers.....??
EXCELLENT PRESENTATIONS ❤
Sounds brilliant...🎉. thank you...Hope every word you say is true
I am belonging to Siliguri
Amazing content but the Gorkhaland Movement started in 1909. Just wanted to add it, the content was really amazing..
Everything was a lot cleaner and organised back then........
Thank you 😊❤️
The original inhabitants of Siliguri is All nepali, Gorkha, Rajbanshi & bengalis. All others are outsiders who came here for living & working..& now trying to be part of this town.

Siliguri was the part of ancient Lepcha Kingdom or Sikkim. Lepcha King builts Sali Fort at the banks of Teesta river at present Sevoke later it was destroyed by flood. Lepcha king's son Sevok married Koch Princess and gave Siliguri to Koch Raja .
Lepcha r not plains people. Siliguri was part of kirat kingdom limbuwan n original inhabitants dhimal. Dhimal r plains limboo .
@@rajivsarmah8413 Dhimal are Dhimal and limbus are limbus these two community are completely different neither their language nor their culture match, Dhimal are tarai native and limbus are mountain native. i would rather say dhimal are more near to tharu people rather any other community cause they reside in same land belt.
@@voiceoutpeople7815 Yaa u r true ..they are more similar with Tharu rather than limbu in culture even some of the dhimal house I had seen as Raj Tharu written in their door but someone tell me that their language is similar with limbu language❤...
@@rajivsarmah8413sevoke road is also name after that Lepcha king
@@kaiii126 diff kings used to influence same place at diff times. Sevoke is lepcha word. Morang is limboo word. British described that part as morang division of Sikkim gained from gorkha kingdom after Anglo gorkha war. But dhimal r plain tribes always.
