UK Opens Recruitment For Armed Forces To Indians, Commonwealth Nationals
The Commonwealth is an association of 53 independent states that are mostly former territories of the British Empire.
The UK government on Monday announced a relaxation of recruitment criteria to allow Commonwealth nationals to apply for jobs in its armed forces to meet a shortage in its ranks, a move that could also benefit Indians.
The decision announced by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) means that people from Commonwealth countries – including India, Australia, Kenya, Fiji and Sri Lanka – will be considered for roles, even if they have never lived in Britain.
