I spent the last month in Pokhara, Nepal, the heartland of Nepal Domiciled Gorkhas (NDG) recruitment, interacting with ex-servicemen and other stakeholders. Not a single NDG has been recruited or become an Agniveer for nearly four years. Nepal has not communicated any reason for not subscribing to the Agniveer project.Last month at the Army’s Chanakya Dialogue a former Navy chief said that former CNS Admiral Karamvir Singh had rejected, in writing, the draft Agniveer scheme. Despite this, the government’s manipulation of incumbent service chiefs in praising the Agniveer project is astounding. What no government or military official has revealed is the stalemate over recruitment of Nepali Gorkha Agniveers since June 2022 and the Covid embargo period. Had General Rawat, a second generation Gorkha officer been alive, Agniveer in its current avatar would not have materialised.
Interesting how misleading, anti-govt articles & writers have suddenly cropped up & peddling fake narratives.![]()
Unhappy New Year for the Gorkha Brigade, Downsizing and Ultimate Phasing Out Becoming a Reality
This government will be credited with ending foreign recruitment but also of snapping a strategic connection with a crucially located neighbour while opening the door to Nepali Gorkhas in PLA in the not too distant future.web.archive.org
Not sure if this is the right place, what do you think of this ?

General Manoj Pandey said this on Gorkha recruitment: “If they don’t decide soon their vacancies will be given to others”. As there has been no recruitment for four years, a shortfall in Gorkha regiment is being made up by Kumaonis, Garhwalis and now Nagas while other tribes are being considered. General Pande is also mulling over reducing Gorkha battalions. Indian Domiciled Gorkhas who constitute 40% of recruitment are not a match for NDGs. In 2017, 6/1 Gorkha Rifles was raised comprising 100% IDGs. It has become difficult now to preserve 6/1 GR’s IDG sanctity and content as few IDGs meet the qualitative requirements (QRs) even after lowering standards and fewer are available. So the plan to fill up NDG shortfall with IDGs is a non-starter.

I've read this guy's takes previously. He has been writing articles regurgitating the same stuff in different places. Here's just a few of them in a phony outlet "SriLanka Guardian".![]()

The swords are not katana , nah they are shin gunto .
The third rifle at display just after swords is probably a italian rifle in semi auto called as Fucille Armaguerra Modello 39 , chambered in 7.35× 51 mmand 6.5 ×52 mm
The only army fighting a real war is Russia, their experience can be of great help. We can learn a lot from them. It is with them that we should up training cycle be it armoured, snipers, drones etc.
