Gurkha Aspirants in Nepal Seek to Rejoin Indian Army Amid Recruitment Changes

Credited from: ALJAZEERA

  • Changes in India's recruitment rules have suspended the Gurkha recruitment pipeline from Nepal, affecting young aspirants.
  • Many young men, including 19-year-old Shishir Bhattari, expressed a desire to serve in the Indian Army due to familial legacy and historical ties.
  • The Agnipath scheme, implemented in 2022, has altered recruitment tenure and benefits, leading to financial uncertainty for prospective soldiers.
  • With limited local job opportunities, some have turned to foreign armies, including dangerous alternatives like joining the Russian military.
  • Discussions between India and Nepal about resuming recruitment remain unresolved, impacting young Gurkhas' future.
