some questions.

when did the british started recruiting the Gurkhas into their army?

why did the Nepalese government signed with the british that permiited the british to recruit the Gurkhas in the first place?

we all know that several thousands of Gurkhas never reurned home after the WWI and many came home crippled and injured. 

so why then Nepalese government did not stop the recruitment of the Gurkhas into the foreign army?

the Nepalese government could have prevented more Gurkhas from dying in the unknown land but instead allowed these men to fight in WWII which was more deadly than the first.

why did the Nepal government instead did not give these men a job in the Nepal army but allowed them to be recruited and fight for others interest?
