This is a sign that is just before the bridge. Here in Darjeeling and in Nepal are many Gorkhas, who are famous for being fierce warriors in the British Army. They are fighting here for a separate state within India, as they aren't happy being a part of the state of West Bengal. They have a lot of ethnic pride, and you see people here all the time wearing the traditional Gorkha clothing.
