Hong kong, officially Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) is territory located in the southern China, facing South China Sea on all three directions: east, west and the south, with the population of about 7 million, making it one of the most densely populated city in the world. Former British dependent territory from 1842 to 1997, after 1997 when British left Hong Kong, new policy was introduced in Hong Kong called, ‘one country two systems’: special administrative region and is not considered part of mainland China.
During British presence in Hong Kong, it was one of the major Gurkha soldiers base, who were serving in the Biritish Army. Just before British were leaving Hong Kong they announced the good news: children born in HK to Gurkha soldiers serving in the British Army, would be able to apply to stay and live in Hong Kong. This was a thumbs up among the Gurkha soldier families which in result flooded Hong Kong with Nepalese of every kind, colour and age.
Today, there are hundreds and thousands of Nepalese living, working and getting married and raising families in Hong Kong. This is where Hong Kong Integrated Nepalese Society (HKINS), comes. HKINS is not for profit social organisation, which is registered under the society ordinance of Hong Kong in 2004.
HKINS, was established with the view to integrate Nepalese people into mainstream society of Hong Kong. It helps and actively gets involved in informing and educating fellow Nepalese to understand more about race equality, human rights and their duties and rights in their place of work.
