Based on the study of Darjeeling Municipality, the paper engages with issues pertaining to understanding the matrixes of power relations involved in the supply of water in Darjeeling town in India. The discussions in the paper focuses on urbanization, the shrinking water resources, and increased demand for water on the one hand; and the role of local administration, the emergence of the water mafia, and the ‘Samaj’ (society) all contributing to a skewed and inequitable distribution of water and the assumption of proprietorship or the appropriation of water commons, culminating in the accentuation of water-rights deprivation in Darjeeling Municipal Area.
