Indian supporters of Gorkhaland chant slogans tied with chains during a protest march in capital New Delhi on July 23, 2017. Eastern India's hill resort of Darjeeling has been rattled at the height of tourist season after violent clashes broke out between police and hundreds of protesters of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) -- a long-simmering separatist movement that has long called for a separate state for ethnic Gorkhas in West Bengal. The GJM wants a new, separate state of “Gorkhaland” carved out of eastern West Bengal state, of which Darjeeling is a part. (Photo by Sajjad Hussain/AFP Photo)
