In this video, we proudly become the voice of Siliguri, shedding light on its hidden treasures. We provide a comprehensive analysis that unveils the reasons why Siliguri can rightfully be called 'The Uncrowned Capital of West Bengal.'

I love Siliguri. Have fond memories of Siliguri. Beautiful city with a mixed culture. Would love to settle down in Siliguri some day.
Me
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
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
"Summer capital of west bengal "❤❤❤
Jai bangla
Most awaited video for me.... Very proud to be a part of such a wonderful place... Keep growing with such wounderfull videos .
Siliguri once had few hundreds of population, now in 2024, it's declared as metropolitan city, having population over 40 Lakhs (4 Million)
as a citizen of siliguri I must say aapne boht deep research ki hai and boht achi video banai hai...
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 👍

Outstanding research and excellent narration. Hats off to the Cord team for this Video.
Keep Growing.... Love from Canada.
Great video! Lots of information with brilliant editing! Wish your channel a great success 💐
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.
Thanks for Posting this video. It feels like I am learning about hometown in a new way ❤

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

Beautiful description. Can you please present a video on Shillong.
Thanks for Siliguri history, you Pl include about Matigarah Hat, very old Hat, then Siliguri College & about North Bengal University, Siliguri Radio Stn, TV Stn Ashian Highway, NBMedical Coll & Hospital so on. Once RajaRammohon Roy crossed through NBUniversity land on way to Tibbet.
Very informative,🙏
Our pride Our Siliguri
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.
👍 good job
Appreciate the video
LOVE from Siliguri
Siliguri is the capital of another upcoming state
Came to so much of a place where we live 👌
Love from Siliguri city my hometown
Sir your video is very knowledgeable...Kind make a video on University of North Bengal (NBU)
Good story❤❤ keep it up❤❤❤🎉🎉
I love my siliguri ❤❤
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 🇮🇳
Interesting
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.
N kirat ( limboo)
Very nice 👍
Appreciate 🎉

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.
Very nice

Thank you
Best information next video on mirik
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 West Bengal
Nice bro I like it
👍👍
siliguri deserves it hub. it has everything to become another it hub of bengal .
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.
দারুন দারুন আমি ও শিলিগুড়িতেই বরো হয়েছি
It’s actually Sanskrit word silgadi. In Nepal also there’s place called silgadi in western part.
Bring more related to Bengal and North east
🇮🇳🇮🇳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 ❤. 🇮🇳🇮🇳
