We have since 2000 been campaigning for the rights of British Gurkhas who became part of the British Army in Febuary 1948 but when they started to be employed in the UK the Indian Government made their Gurkhas Honorary Indian Citizens and Mr Wilson's Government made British Gurkhas without any rights in the UK. We have fought then campaigned for British Gurkhas’ Rights. Which like the locally enlisted Colonial settlers into the American Rifles later to become the 60th Rifles, of the British Army,  and then the Kings Royal Rifle Corps.

Gurkhas, with their British Officers together have laid down their lives, at great cost to their enemies, and both being awarded the prime decoration for Valour.in many battles together wining 26 VCs and many gallantry medals from 1916 Tulbahadur Thapa, 3GR, in WWI before which Native Soldiers could not win the VC, but earlier, Lt Tytler of 2nd Goorkhas won his at the siege of Delhi in 1857. He then raised the extra Regiment of Gurkhas 4GR. In North East India a unit of Gurkhas were all awarded the equivalent of the VC, the Indian Order of Merit, IOM all thirty-three members of the unit.  From Gurkhas as Pioneers in Honourable East India Company, to Riflemen after the siege of Delhi, to Airborne soldiers in WWII, to Commando Trained Soldiers in Afghanistan, by way of Afghanistan thrice, then to China in 1905, Flanders, and Gallipoli in 1915, to Iraq in 1920, and the Third Afghan War, 1921, WWII started for Gurkhas in Libya, where a British Gurkha Officer ‘got stuck into some Germans’ with a Khukri being awarded the MC, and the Regimental Medical Officer  Indian, of 2/4 GR winning an immediate MC at Tobruk. Then With Units of Nepalese Sovereign Army in Burma, arriving in the battle for Kohima. And so on without taking breath coming from Java into the emergency in Malaya, and endless ambushes, and to Merdeka for Malaya. Then joining the Strategic Reserve at Tidworth where they were treated with respect and as the British Soldiers, to  the Confrontation after which Gurkhas were savagely reduced and their Rights were reduced by HMG. Then Falklands,  Iraq and Afghanistan for the fourth time. As good a record as any other.

We hope to restore their rights agreed by the Atlee Government that Gurkhas whose mentor The Rana made the agreement for Gurkhas in both Indian And British Armies, would be

• An Integral Part of each Army
• Not Mercenaries [Certainly Not individual Contractors]
• Paid as for the Indian Army Pay Code

1. with the Cost of Living Allowance for all Gurkhas stationed outside India, and the same Pension ( for those who retired to Nepal, (98%)
2. This was changed and rightly in 2006 and backdated to 1997 where the Gurkha in British Service would be exactly rewarded as his British Counterpart.

The Rights of Citizenship recognised in 1962/63 were denied after 1967, and the families , not as well treated as British Families before 1967,  after 1967 were thoroughly misused and abused.

We Intend to restore their Rights and allow honour and commonsense rather than Mantras generated  by the MOD/HQBG to rule
