West Bengal politics is abuzz over the revival of the Eastern Frontier Rifles (EFR), a historic armed police force with deep ties to the Gorkha community. Suvendu Adhikari has announced plans to strengthen the force and recruit over 1,000 Gorkha youths, with 30% of the posts reserved for women. But what exactly is EFR?

In this video, we explain the history of EFR, its Gorkha connection, the controversy around its decline, and the politics behind its proposed revival.
