Is the regiment then no longer subtitled 'The Maluan Regiment'? Is there any evidence of this if it is the case? Also, should the title of the page not be '1st Gorkha Rifles' rather than '1 Gorkha Rifles'? If there have been similar changes to the other Indian Gurkha pages, should this not be addressed also?

• The regiments official name is 1 Gorkha Rifles. The source of this is both personal information and bharat-rakshak.com. The Maulun regiment was the nickname associated with the regiment prior to independence. I don't believe it is called that anymore. Only the 5GR retains their Frontier Forces nickname, although this is not official. The appropriate changes have been made to the remaining Gorkha regiments on wikipedia.
