Following India's independence in 1947, the regiment was one of four Gurkha regiments to be transferred to the British Army. In the 1960s it was active in the Malayan Emergency and Indonesian Confrontation, and took part in the liberation of the Falkland Islands . It was amalgamated with the other three British Gurkha regiments to form the Royal Gurkha Rifles in 1994.
