An early morning photo of a nice young lady serving in Sikkim's police force (ARCHIVED PHOTO on the weekends - originally photographed 2008/01/12).

If I had to guess, I'd say she's Indian but of Nepali descent. The northern portion of India is a fascinating crossroads of ethnic diversity that'll redefine the stereotypical idea of an "Indian citizen".
