A Happy Ending for Gurkhas? Think Again! (The Guardian, 7th March 2010)

This article carried by The Guardian portrays deeply upsetting account of realities faced by returning Gurkha Veterans subsequent to the change in Gurkha immigration policy.

Many individuals in different pockets of Nepalese communities are already utilising their free time to help some of the returning older veterans. Let us all widen this support further through our own collective networks, through volunteering our own free time, knowledge and through encouraging our younger generation to get involved too.
