Supporters of Gorkhaland hold a placard and a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi during an indefinite strike on the outskirts of the eastern Indian city of Siliguri December 11, 2009. India's plan to carve a new state out of southern Andhra Pradesh on Friday sparked statehood demands in other parts of Asia's third largest economy in a new challenge to the Congress party-led government. The Gorkhas, ethnic Nepalis, in West Bengal called for an indefinite strike from Friday demanding their own "Gorkhaland" to protect their heritage.
