The Parisangh�s Assam spokesperson Nanda Kirati Dewan, who is also the president of the BGP�s youth wing, said, �It includes verified documents and authenticated facts with commentaries in line of a research paper compiled by the scholarly group towards justification of Gorkhas as an indigenous group of Assam which was undermined and left out from the MHA-constituted High-Level Committee on Assam Accord�s Clause 6 report.�

Addressing the release function, Khatiwada appreciated the efforts of Bharatiya Gorkha Parisangh in empowering Gorkhas and educating generations and said that this document is another testimony to the BGP�s commitment for the community.
