Nepali diaspora

The Nepali diaspora comprises people of Nepali origin living outside Nepal and the social, cultural, and economic networks they maintain across borders.

Gorkha recruitment: The recruitment of Nepali soldiers into foreign military service, especially by British and Indian forces. Military service created long-standing Nepali communities and family ties outside Nepal.
Non-Resident Nepali Association: A global organization founded in 2003 to connect Nepalis living abroad and promote ties with Nepal. It gives expatriate networks a formal international platform.
Remittances to Nepal: Money sent to Nepal by people working or living abroad. Remittances are a major channel through which diaspora livelihoods support families at home.
Nepali language: An Indo-Aryan language that is Nepal’s official language and a lingua franca across parts of South Asia. Language connects many overseas communities to family, media, and cultural life in Nepal.
Bhutanese refugees in Nepal: Refugees of Nepali origin expelled or displaced from Bhutan who lived in camps in Nepal from the 1990s. Their resettlement scattered a community across countries and reshaped diaspora identity.
Nepalese migration to India: Movement of people from Nepal to India for work, trade, education, and family life. An open border and close historical ties made India a major destination.
Gurkhas: Soldiers from Nepal who serve in foreign military forces, most famously the British and Indian armies. Their service helped establish some of the diaspora’s oldest communities abroad.
Foreign employment in Nepal: The system through which Nepali citizens obtain paid work abroad, often through licensed recruitment agencies. It provides the institutional pathway behind much labor migration.
Dashain: A major Hindu festival celebrated in Nepal and by Nepali communities worldwide. Its family gatherings and rituals often travel with migrants across borders.
Nepalese migrant worker deaths in the Gulf: Deaths of Nepali workers in Gulf countries, often linked to hazardous work and inadequate protections. These deaths expose the human costs behind labor migration and remittance dependence.
