1947 Tripartite Agreement

Recently, the Nepal’s Foreign Minister has said that the 1947 Tripartite Agreement between India, Nepal and the United Kingdom has become redundant.
In 1947, when India became independent, it was decided to split Gurkha regiments between the British and Indian armies.
From the first quarter of the 19th century, Gurkhas had served under the British, first in the armies of the East India Company, and then the British Indian Army.
East India Company first recruited Gurkhas after suffering heavy casualties during the Anglo-Nepalese War also known as the Gurkha War. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Sugauli in 1816.
It ensured that Gurkhas in British and Indian service would enjoy broadly the same conditions of service as that of British and Indian citizens.
The services include all perks, remuneration, facilities and pension schemes etc.
Gorkha recruitment was the first window that was opened to Nepali youth to go abroad.
