  • The Gurkhas', 1857-2009
    "Bravest of the Brave": The making and re-making of 'the Gurkhas', 1857-2009 Gavin Rand University of Greenwich Thanks: Matthew, audience… Many of you, I am sure, will be familiar with the image of the ‘martial Gurkha’. The image dates from nineteenth century India, and though the suggestion that the Nepalese are inherently martial appears dubious, images of ‘warlike Gurkhas’ continue to circulate in contemporary discourse. Only last week, Dipprasad Pun, of the Royal Gurkha Rifles, was awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross for single-handedly fighting off up to 30 Taliban insurgents. In 2010, reports surfaced that an (unnamed) Gurkha had been reprimanded for using his ‘traditional’ kukri knife to behead a Taliban insurgent, an act which prompted the Daily Mail to exclaim ‘Thank god they’re on our side!) Thus, the bravery and the brutality of the Gurkhas – two staple elements of nineteenth century representations – continue to be replayed. Such images have also been mobilised in other contexts. On 4 November 2008, Chief Superintendent Kevin Hurley, of the Metropolitan Police, told the Commons’ Home Affairs Select Committee, that Gurkhas would make excellent ‘recruits’ to the capital’s police service. Describing the British Army’s Nepalese veterans as loyal, disciplined, hardworking and brave, Hurley reported that the Met’s senior commanders believed that ex-Gurkhas could provide a valuable resource to London’s police. Many Gurkhas, it was noted, were multilingual (in subcontinental languages, useful for policing the capital’s diverse population), fearless (and therefore unlikely to be intimidated by the apparently rising tide of knife and gun crime) and, Hurley noted, the recruiting of these ‘loyal’, ‘brave’ and ‘disciplined’ Nepalese would also provide an excellent (and, one is tempted to add, convenient) means of diversifying the workforce.

In 1962, the Royal Commission on the Police formally acknowledged HMIC’s contribution to policing. HMIs are appointed by the Crown on the recommendation of the Home Secretary and report to HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary, who is the Home Secretary’s principal professional policing adviser and is independent of both the Home Office and the police service. HMIC’s principal statutory duties are set out in the Police Act 1996. For more information, please visit HMIC’s website at http://inspectorates.homeoffice.gov.uk/hmic/. In 2006, HMIC conducted a broad assessment of all 43 Home Office police forces in England and Wales, examining 23 areas of activity. This baseline assessment had followed a similar process in 2005, and thus created a rich evidence base of strengths and weaknesses across the country.

  • Caste, Military, Migration: Nepali Gurkha Communities in Britain
    Article Ethnicities 2020, Vol. 20(3) 608–627 Caste, military, migration: ! The Author(s) 2019 Nepali Gurkha communities Article reuse guidelines: sagepub.com/journals-permissions in Britain DOI: 10.1177/1468796819890138 journals.sagepub.com/home/etn Mitra Pariyar Kingston University, UK Oxford University, UK Abstract The 200-year history of Gurkha service notwithstanding, Gurkha soldiers were forced to retire in their own country. The policy changes of 2004 and 2009 ended the age-old practice and paved the way for tens of thousands of retired soldiers and their depend- ants to migrate to the UK, many settling in the garrison towns of southern England. One of the fundamental changes to the Nepali diaspora in Britain since the mass arrival of these military migrants has been the extraordinary rise of caste associations, so much so that caste – ethnicised caste –has become a key marker of overseas Gurkha community and identity. This article seeks to understand the extent to which the policies and practices of the Brigade of Gurkhas, including pro-caste recruitment and organisation, have contributed to the rapid reproduction of caste abroad. Informed by Vron Ware’s paradigm of military migration and multiculture, I demonstrate how caste has both strengthened the traditional social bonds and exacerbated inter-group intol- erance and discrimination, particularly against the lower castes or Dalits. Using the military lens, my ethnographic and historic analysis adds a new dimension to the largely hidden but controversial problem of caste in the UK and beyond. Keywords Gurkha Army, Gurkha migration to UK, caste and militarism, Britain, overseas caste, Nepali diaspora in England Corresponding author: Mitra Pariyar, Kingston University, Penrhyn Road, Kingston-Upon-Thames KT1 2EE, UK.

    Winson Green Church is organised by Pastor Wilfred Masih he Winson Green Church story began in 2003 during an evangelistic tent meeting run by the West Midlands churches Tunder the leadership of Pastor D. Masih. These meetings resulted in a number of baptisms, and the team members – Pastors Nicholson, Watson and Haworth and Sister Mardiner – decided to set up a company which worshipped at various locations during the next few years. In 2011, they ended up worshipping in the hall of the Bishop Latimer Memorial Church in Winson Green, Birmingham. Pastor E. Lawrence, who is currently serving as the pastor, asked the Church of England whether they could worship in the sanctuary itself and the request was approved. The sanctuary has a capacity of 1,000-plus, but due to the dwindling congregation the Church of England could no longer maintain the facility. After dialogue with Pastors D. Masih and E. Lawrence an agreement was reached whereby the building was donated to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The company took on the challenge of maintaining the building, and the refurbishments are ongoing. On 12 March the company was officially recognised as a church and became part of the sisterhood of Seventh-day Adventist churches. The sanctuary was almost full as friends and family members joined to celebrate this special occasion in what is now one of the largest buildings in the British Union Conference. The Winson Green church is almost 70 members strong and continues to grow as a beacon of hope in its wider community. The organising service was conducted by the President and Executive Secretary of the North England Conference, Pastors Johnson and Ferguson respectively.

Friend for his question. PRAYERS He is right that anaerobic digestion is one of the technologies that we want to encourage. Indeed, it falls broadly within the renewables remit of the Green investment [MR SPEAKER in the Chair] bank, but my understanding of the problems with anaerobic digestion is that they relate principally to planning and objections, rather than funding.

  • Advisory Committee on Business Appointments Eighteenth Annual Report 2016-2017
    Advisory Committee on Business Appointments Eighteenth Annual Report 2016-2017 1 20 July 2017 Dear Prime Minister, This letter accompanies the eighteenth report of the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments, which covers the year to 31 March 2017. The Committee continued to see a high volume of applications in 2016-17, with the numbers similar to those dealt with in the preceding year. This was in part due to the change of Prime Minister in July 2016 and following Ministerial reshuffle, combined with the on-going effect of the May 2015 General Election. The Committee gave advice on 104 applications from former Ministers in 2016-17, compared to 123 applications in 2015-16 (substantially higher than the 49 dealt with in 2014-15). There were 140 applications from former Crown servants, compared with 110 in 2015-16 (89 in 2014-15). It was a challenging year for the Secretariat; with new personnel settling in after a period of change and an increase in casework. This included many cases which required significant work by the Secretariat; in particular, seeking further information from applicants about the nature of proposed roles; and former Government departments about individuals’ responsibilities held whilst in office. This year 70% of applications were dealt with within our target deadlines, compared to 75% in 2015-16. Those Ministers who left Government at the May 2015 General Election are no longer subject to the Business Appointment Rules, which apply for two years from last day of service. However, the Committee will continue to see applications from those leaving Ministerial posts, including those who left Government in July 2016 and following the recent General Election.

  • Dear Minister, on Behalf of the Members of the Independent
    Independent Monitoring Board HM Prison Birmingham Winson Green Road Birmingham B18 4AS Rory Stewart MP Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Prisons, Probation, Rehabilitation and Sentencing; Ministry of Justice 102 Petty France London SW1H 9AJ 15th May 2018 Dear Minister, On behalf of the members of the Independent Monitoring Board at HMP Birmingham, I am writing to you to express our very serious concerns regarding this establishment, where basic humanity, safety and purposeful activity is simply not being delivered. We fully recognise that there are currently many challenges facing the entire prison estate, but the problems at HMP Birmingham are so serious that we would be failing in our duty if we did not bring our concerns to your attention. You will be aware that HMP Birmingham experienced two significant disturbances in the last eighteen months. The Board is of the opinion that current prisoner behaviour and a lack of staff control on many wings, observed over the past three months, are reminiscent of the scenario we noted prior to both of those disturbances The Board’s view that prisoners, rather than staff, appeared to be controlling many of the wings was supported by the observations of Dame Anne Owers, the IMB National Chair and Neil Richards, HMPPS Controller, on their visits to the prison, and this was reported to the management team. We note that a new Director at Birmingham and his senior team are clearly leading and challenging staff to bring about improvements in the regime. However, put simply, the prison fails to provide a safe and decent environment on an almost daily basis.
