Ever wondered what the brave Gurkha soldiers listen to while they're stationed far from home? Well, they have their very own radio station, BFBS Gurkha Radio! It's part of the British Forces Broadcasting Service (BFBS), which has been keeping troops entertained since 1943. BFBS is like a massive radio network, offering all sorts of programmes from music and news to entertainment and even community services.
But what makes BFBS Gurkha Radio special is that it broadcasts in Hindi, the language of the Gurkha people, and plays their traditional music. Imagine being thousands of miles away from home and hearing the familiar sounds of your culture, it's like a little piece of Nepal right there on the radio. It's a great way for the Gurkha soldiers to stay connected to their heritage and feel a little less homesick.
BFBS Gurkha Radio is more than just music though, it's a vital link for the Gurkha community. It keeps them informed about what's going on in the world and in their own communities. It also helps them connect with each other, even when they're scattered across the globe. And that's why their slogan is so fitting: "Entertain, Inform, Connect, Champion." It sums up perfectly what BFBS Gurkha Radio is all about.
