I would see that as a win/win situation.
It would have to be negotiated and agreed by the Nepalese Government before it could be implemented of course.
If you wanted to go down that path, why not recruit a Fijian battalion?
Many could already have some military experience, easier integration into the existing Pacific Island community post service, easier cheaper transport.
