The incident took place a few days ago. Thousands of people gathered at 10 Downing Street in London to demand justice for Gurkhas. British went to the parliament to lay flowers on the statue of Gorkhali and handed over his demands. The letter said, “If our demands are not addressed, we will be forced to go on hunger strike.” The Gurkhas have been saying that the British government and the people also should address the demand for equal work and equal pension. But no hearing has been held. Leaders want this problem solved. Some solutions have also been found. But the old Gurkhas who have not received the price of their blood and sweat.
In some MODs, the big generals seem to have stopped saying that they should not have the same pension and benefits under any circumstances. There are fears that he is the one who has confused the British leaders and the people. Or there has been a mustache fight. At one time, Britain had a reputation as a country that never sets. It was with the help of the Gurkhas that Britain gained that reputation. But the British government could not show a big heart towards the Gorkhas. Many Gurkhas have passed away while making their demands. There are about ten thousand left. For them, the issue of equal pensions is not a big deal financially for the UK. If the Gorkhalis go on hunger strike demanding equal pay and pensions, where will Britain’s international reputation go? Even before this, after the Gorkhalis went on hunger strike, there was a great panic all over the world. Famous actors and The hunger strike was called off with the intervention of human rights activist Johanna Lumley. But the demand was not addressed.
The upcoming hunger strike is final and decisive. That the demands of the Gorkhas will be addressed, or that the Gorkhas will die while on hunger strike. If the demands are addressed before the hunger strike, the dignity of the UK will be saved. A train has recently been launched in the UK in the name of Vice Chancellor Tul Bahadur Pun. It was inaugurated with great pomp. This decision is very welcome if it is not made with the intention of stopping the hunger strike for equal pension by making Gorkhali happy. It is not a matter of small pride for Nepalese to run a train in the name of Gorkhali in London where 5-7 heads of government and heads of state of the world reach every day. This is a great honor for Tul Bahadur Pun. Nelson Mandela, From the perspective of running a government train in the name of a great person like Gandhi, it is a great thing to run a government train in the name of Tul Bahadur in a place like London. There is nothing greater than honor. Money is nothing in front of dignity. Can anyone name a government train after money? Impossible, No matter how rich a person is. But the respect given in the midst of discrimination is even worse. A country like Britain, which has reached the peak of civilization, is slow to realize this. How long can discrimination be hidden under such cover? South Africa has not easily become independent. Many people have lost their blood. Nelson Mandela, the leader of the independence movement, spent 27 years in prison. Mahatma Gandhi led the struggle for decades to make India independent. The UK is not on its knees with India and South Africa. The power of peaceful movement, i.e. satyagraha, is more powerful than the atom bomb. Therefore, the British people have shown great sympathy for the hunger strike of the Gorkhalis. The British people want to see the demands of the Gurkhas addressed before going on hunger strike. They have expressed great sympathy. The British people want to see the demands of the Gurkhas addressed before going on hunger strike. Have expressed great sympathy. The British people want to see the demands of the Gurkhas addressed before going on hunger strike.
In fact, the struggle for the same pension should have taken place many years ago. But now 90 percent of the former Gorkhas have died. They returned home empty-handed and empty-handed after the battle. Who did not even get a pension. Millions died in battle. Her family did not realize the value of her blood and sweat. About 10,000 survivors now have the opportunity to make demands. The UK also has a chance to end discrimination. The British people are aware that if this opportunity is missed, Britain will be discredited in world history. Because the history of the Gorkhas lasts as long as the UK lasts. The British public is concerned about the possibility of perpetual discrimination in the records of history. Isn’t it true that future generations will curse themselves for being discriminated against so much? There are a number of people in the UK who have expressed concern. With the help of which the Gorkhas also went on hunger strike For the courage to grow. In fact, meeting Gorkhali’s demands now is a victory for Britain. Here, Gorkhali will get soul respect, but now with only about ten thousand left, the UK will not have to bear a huge financial burden. Most of the 10,000 are over 80 years old.
In this age of globalization, Gorkhalis have many options. Different countries recruit Gurkhas in their security forces. But the Gurkhas are attached to Britain. Because there has been more than two hundred years of cooperation with the UK. The Gurkhas love Britain more than their motherland. The Gurkhas consider Britain as the karmic land of their ancestors. The Gurkhas consider the prestige of Britain as their own. The Gurkhas have a special attachment to Britain as their names will be written in the history of Britain’s world conquest.
Going on a hunger strike with a country like Britain to get a fair price for their blood and sweat is not a small incident. This event is sure to be one of the most important in future history. For the people of Gorkhali and the British, there will be nothing more tragic than here. The British say proudly: ‘In the future, there will be only five kings left in the world. One is the British monarchy, the other four are cards. ‘ But when the history of the British Queen is written, the Gurkhas who are employed as bodyguards are also written and the discrimination against the Gurkhas is also written. Will such records increase the prestige of the British monarchy? The British people love the monarchy very much. The British people want the dignity of their monarchy not to be tarnished under any circumstances.
There may have been economic issues in the past. The British may have chosen Gorkhali to do a lot of work with less facilities. After enlisting the Gurkhas in his army, there was no threat of security in his colony of India, on the other hand, the strategy of the Gurkhas was to compete with other countries at a cheap price. It has to be taken naturally. But today’s case is not economic. As mentioned above, the number of Gurkhas who have to get payed pension is not more than 10,000, most of them are above 80 years. So it’s not about money, it’s about Britain’s ‘dignity’ and ‘morality’. It is also a matter of the reputation of the British monarchy. The international media is eager to broadcast the scene of Gurkhas sitting on the streets of Britain in their old age, demanding justice, to defeat Hitler, bring Japan to its knees, and convince Saddam Hussein.
