Plain truth: Royal nepalese army proudly served and protected the monarch and even the rana regimes.Sometimes they got to wage war against their own country fellowmen to protect the monarch.They had not much choice.Army was one of the few employment opportunities in nepal they got. But unless the economy and hence the living std of nepal itself doesnt get better, the Nepal govt can do little to improve their lives Those lucky enough to be selected in the toughest competition got hired by the british not under british regiments but under the name of 'Gurkha' regiments -even in the foreignlands where otherwise Nepal is so unherd of. They got the chance to flourish the legends of nepal's bravery throughout the world.Bravery is always associated with the Gurkha regiments and the Gurkhas with Nepal. Increase in the Price of commodities like land in many parts of Nepal( including ktm) -which directly affected the living std of the locals -can be also be credited to them.Infact to anyone who has been contributing to the country through remittances -in stabalizing the economy of nepal - which was just so close to doom.
