OverviewRam Kiratee Rai was a British-Gurkha soldier, however, he along with the other Gurkha soldiers were always racially discriminated against in active duty pay and pension. A Gurkha soldier received less than 20% of a non-Gurkha British soldier of the same rank and service. This attitude and practice of the Ministry of Defense and it's Sahib(officers) compelled him to chronicle in the book BRITISHGURKHA SLAVE WARRIORS the indignity of racial discrimination they audaciously dictated for more than 200 years! Since early 1990's the Gurkha veterans have been campaigning and demanding the well-earned compensation from the British government but are still being denied to present day. Based on the campaign, Britain was compelled to compensate Gurkha veterans backdating to the 30th of September 1993. When the equality campaign started there were about 40 thousand veterans but have now diminished to only around 17 thousand still living and seeking equality per the agreement between Nepal and Britain. This book exposes the cruel exploitation of the loyal Gurkha veterans who were enlisted from 1st January 1948 to September of 1993 as they still fight against the injustice of veterans who faithfully served their country.
