Dilmaya, a young girl from the mountains of Nepal, wants to lift her family out of poverty. She hears news that Britain, which has traditionally recruited young Nepali men in its army for more than 200 years, will recruit Nepali young women in its Gurkha regiments. Dilmaya sees it as a once in a lifetime career opportunity, a chance to earn a lucrative salary in comparison to the average Nepali income. She travels to a nearby city, a day’s bus ride away from her village and joins a training center to prepare for the rigorous selection process. The training is tough and the girls work as hard as the boys. Dilmaya and a dozen other hopeful young girls devote themselves to training. At the same time, the governments of Nepal and Britain negotiate for several years but do not reach an agreement about the recruitment of Nepali girls into the British Army. Dilmaya, who will soon cross the age limit for recruitment, fears that she might be ineligible to join Nepal’s national forces as well.
