Indian gorkha army

Since the independence of India in 1947, as per
the terms of the Britain–India–Nepal Tripartite
Agreement , six Gorkha regiments , formerly part
of the British Indian Army , became part of the
Indian Army and have served ever since. The
troops are ethnic Nepali Gurkhas of Nepal and
ethnic Indian Gorkhas of India. They have a
history of courage in battle, evident from the
gallantry awards won by Gorkha soldiers and
battle honours awarded to Gorkha both before
and after joining the Indian Army. A seventh
Gorkha Rifles regiment was re-raised in the
Indian Army after Independence to accommodate
Gorkha soldiers of 7th Gurkha Rifles and the
10th Gurkha Rifles who chose not to transfer to
the British Army.
