Indian Police misbehave Nepalese women over Gorkhaland issue. when the 1st violent Gorkhaland andolan started in 1984 till, Gurkhas are yet to find a voice in the main stream media which has reported objectively on the Gorkhaland statehood demand. They are yet to come across a book written by an outsider, which has done justice to our plight, struggle and the oppression and discrimination that we have had to face and are facing. Over 25,000 Nepalese currently serve in the Indian Army’s seven Gorkha Rifles (Ist, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th and 11th), each of which has five to six battalions (800 to 1,000 soldiers each), drawing basically from Rais and Limbus of eastern Nepal and Gurungs and Magars from the west.
