Taming and training Faujis, Babujis, and Sirjis
What does it take to produce the “finest fighters in the world,” as the Gurkhas have been known for two centuries? Well, taming and training are two factors that go into manufacturing a Gurkha infantryman. Taming also comes with brainwashing, and training includes full-pack battle-gear morning jogs and long route marches. One National Geographic picture shows an early-morning white jogger in sweatshirt, shorts and running shoes standing and looking befuddled at a passing platoon of battle-ready Gurkhas on the double in Hong Kong. That’s what producing British Gurkhas is all about.Published on: 11 December 2013 | Republica

Women always work for longer hours under the double burden of domestic and remunerative labor.Published on: 11 January 2013 | Republica
