Editing Nepalese Armed Forces (section)

==Gurkhas==
Nepal is also notable for the [[Gurkhas]]. Significant sections of the [[British Army]] and [[Indian Army]] are recruited from Nepal. This arrangement comes from the days of the [[British East India Company]]'s rule of [[India]] when Company troops tried to invade Nepal and were beaten back. Both sides were impressed with the other, and Gurkhas were recruited into the company's forces. The Gurkhas remained loyal during the [[Indian Mutiny]] of 1857 and were kept on in the Indian Army thereafter. Upon Indian independence in 1947, some units went to British service and some to Indian service, with a [[Britain-India-Nepal Tripartite Agreement]] signed between the three nations.  The Gurkhas are feared troops, and their signature weapon is the [[Kukri|khukuri]].
