From that article the comparrison with the ghurkas is irrelevant as that is a special long standing arrangement between Nepal and Britain so for the Sikh regiment to be on the same grounds it would be recruited in India with Indian citizens under a deal with the Indian government .
As for the comparrison with Scots Welsh and Irish regiments , thats a joke isn't it since none of the regiments contsist of solely Scots Welsh or Irish and never has done , one possible exception would have been the home service battalions in part of Ulster but they were slightly different in their make up , yet they still had no provision that only Ulstermen could join .
My bad, I must have misread, I thought that it would be Sikhs from their native region.
