GURKHAS INJECT LIFE IN THE DYING TOWN OF ALDERSHOT 13/12/2016 9:28 am Rupanjana Dutta The Gurkhas made Aldershot their home after arriving in the UK, since settlement rights were granted to them in 2004. 7 years back, News Editor Kamal Rao and I had visited their home, to witness how the newly arrived community was settling down. While many of the ex Gurkha regiment soldiers were grateful to be now living in the rich soils of the UK, many were old, frail, helpless and struggling without their children and family. They were also disappointed with the lower pension amount (than their British counterparts), and the cost of living remaining high. It seemed that some of them were regretting to have moved to the UK, many perhaps contemplating to go back, but having sold everything in their homeland before migrating- there was nothing left for them to return to. One could see the tired ex-soldiers with their partners, slowly walking around the city centre, lost in their thought, looking worried, sadness looming on their faces. It was not what we had anticipated for this valiant community.
