An image of the flag of Gurkhaland. The Gurkhas are of Nepali origin, and some hundreds are in armed revolt in West Bengal to create an autonomous territory of Gurkhaland (I don't remember if they want independence, or only autonomy). The soldiers are named "the yellow-greens" for the colour of the flag.
