Gurkha valour wins British respect — and recruitment

Border disputes led to war between Nepal and the East India Company. By the Treaty of Sugauli in 1816 Nepal gave up Kumaon, Garhwal and Sikkim and accepted a British resident but stayed independent, and the British began recruiting Gurkhas into their army, a tradition that continues today.
