==Historic labour movement==
Margaret's Hope is considered to be the birthplace of organised labour movement in West Bengal's tea industry. In 1955, a strike, called by [[Communist Party of India]] and [[Akhil Bharatiya Gorkha League]], was underway. On 25 June, hundreds of workers had gathered at Margaret's Hope Tea Estate, to register their protest against low wages and denial of facilities by tea garden managements. Six protesters, including two women, were killed in police firing. The furore spilled over and the next day 20,000 workers and common people laid siege of the district headquarters. By 27 June, the management met all the demands of the workers. To take just one example, for the first-time tea garden workers were paid bonus. Although there was provision for payment of bonus under the Bonus Act, till then no tea garden had implemented it. Wages were also raised.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://scroll.in/magazine/883648/six-decades-ago-a-workers-uprising-changed-darjeelings-tea-gardens-its-time-for-change-again| title = Six decades ago, a workers’ uprising changed Darjeeling’s tea gardens.
