Desperate measures
The Gurkhas, who do not exist anywhere in Nepal—as neither a race nor an army but a community of soldiers who served in foreign armies—have fought for Britain in all its major wars over the last two centuries.

One set of results in the report prepared by the Department of Foreign Employment shows 0.6 per cent decline in the number of people leaving the country for employment purposes in the first three months of the current fiscal year, while another set of data in the same report shows a fall of 9.33 per cent.
