Thid Dhiraj Ojha is talking like an Anpad Gawaar. Yes in the villages OUR Nepali folks don't know any better therefore will accept whatever is given to them. A lot of them will even sign in a blank peice of paper. That does not mean the British Army can take full advantage of them. After all they do most of the british army's dirty work and are in the lowest pay scale in their rank and file. I knew of a Victoria Cross recepient Mr Ghaley in the 70's had to sell his VC medal to feed his family. I am talking about justice for such people who put their life on the line to serve them.. and were thrown to the dogs when came recieve their pensions. I AM TALKING ABOUT FAIRNESS NOT DEMANDING ANYHTING FROM THEM. AND THE LAST TWO WARS THEY FOUGHT .. THE GURKHA WERE ON THE FRONT LINE(Falkland and Afganisthan). At the same time they should be receiving that front line payment too. OUR NEPALI BLOOD IS NOT THAT CHEAP.
