Pooky Bear the Sensitive asked:


Here is the reason that the Ghurkas are given the contract they are. It is called international treaty. It was signed by the UK, India and their home country of Nepal. I hope this helps.

As a part of this arrangement, it was agreed that Gurkhas in British and Indian service should enjoy broadly the same conditions of service, to ensure that there was no unfair advantage to serving in one or other, thus maintaining economic stability and social harmony in the Gurkha recruiting areas. Thus, the governments of the United Kingdom, India and Nepal came to sign the Tripartite Agreement (TPA).

The main points of the agreement are:

The Gurkha soldier must be recruited as a Nepali citizen, must serve as a Nepali citizen, and must be resettled as a Nepali citizen.
Gurkha soldiers in both the Indian and British Armies should receive the same basic rates

I have been working on improving my credit and came across these programs. I would advise everyone good or bad credit to order them. They have paid for themselves over and over again in my book. They have even told me what credit cards I should apply for to help my credit. and not only that I saved over $3000+ on my new car from reading these programs. And the money was after the so called discounts they give. This was bottom line after everything was allowed. These people know what they are talking about.
