Whenever i watch Gurkha videos, i feel like joining Army. I am a daughter of a Gurkha father, i am equally fit n strong. I even went to do Brab test and started running but the thing that stopped me was, i want to live my life as a spiritual being, practice Buddhism and finally out of nowhere i ended up joining Adult nursing at Hertfordshire, 2012 intake. Still i am proud to be one of the bhanjis of Gurkha.

there was a report during second world war that 1 gurkha name dilip rai revolted against the british and indian officers. the soldier dilip rai requested british officers and indian officers to return nepali land back to people of nepal. but the british and indian officers insulted dilip rai and the consequences was deadly. dilip rai took out his khukuri and it was reported that he beheaded 2 of the british officers and 1 indian officers. when the other soldiers found out they started firing at dilip rai. dilip rai managed to escape and dozens of british and indian soldiers went after him in the thick jungles of burma. in the jungle it was reported that dilip rai single handedly took out 12 british and indian soldiers just with his rifle and a khukuri. we need patriotic people like dilip rai who's willing to fight for his country and fight for the return of nepali land by the british and india.

environ 1 listen my friend. i have a dream that one day when china recruit the gurkhas, nepal can reclaim nepali land from india. the racist british did not hand nepali land when it gave independence to india and left india. india and UK must be taught a good lesson by china and nepal. we can singed a new treaty with china that allows the Chinese to recruit the gurkhas into Chinese army. Imagine if china recruit the gurkhas, Chinese military will be number one. And it is also good for Nepal. there are millions of young nepali men unemployed in nepal. if china recruits at least 100,000 nepali men into the chinese gurkha regiment, at least 100,000 nepali men will have jobs. They will be able to feed their families back home. And yes if china have the gurkhas in their units, american forces will be scared to death and so will be the indians. Nepal was never part of india and has never been part of india. In fact India is holding our land. yes india is holding nepali land which nepal signed with the british. look for Sugauli Treaty(signed on 2 December 1815). this treaty allowed british to take 1/2 of nepali land. but after british gave independce to india and left india, it fail to hand over nepali land back to nepal. so Nepal has the rights to declare india and uk WAR. Nepal signed with the british not with the india. So why is india holding our land? so if india consider nepal as brother then does india fail to hand over nepali territory to people of Nepal? we must request UK to demand India to return Nepali land back to people of Nepal. I know India will listen to its former master -the British. nepal have many difficulties in development because nepal is a landlocked country. unless we get back our land from india, nepal will never progress. so we must fight for our land. it's our rights. The british handover hongkong to china in 1997, so in the same way, india must handover our land back to Nepal. UK must request and demand india to return our land. And india must give back nepali land so everyone lives happily.......if not then china have the right to help nepal fight terrorist country india and UK. Nepal must also request Mr Putin for help. We must tell Mr Putin and the Russian people about the conspiracy by the british and india to make Nepal poor. I am sure Mr Putin and Russia will help Nepal to reclaim our land from India.

Of course the British have done some pretty dreadful things in the course of building a world-wide empire, that was the mores of the times, but we have also done a great deal of 'good.' Our present government gives 7% of our GNP in foreign aid - a great deal to India. This evening I have seen several advertisements pleading for money to provide safe night accommodation for homeless/abandoned children on the streets of Indian cities - cities in a country that has the money to spend on nuclear arms but still expects money from the United Kingdom. You've been an independent sovereign state for almost seventy years zainal, time enough to stop blaming your problems on an administration that left your shores a very long time ago. Why not use your obvious energy to improve the situation in your own small area - organise a soup-kitchen for street-kids, or a place for them to sleep, safe from predators.

I spent years living amongst Gurkhas in Kluang Garrison in the '60's. Went to school with their kids, ate with them, celebrated with them, they spent as much time in our house as me and my siblings spent in theirs. My Dad loved them and loved serving with them. If my memory serves me right (and it sometimes does not) there were two batallions of them one being 10 Gurkha Rifles and I cannot remember the second one. I once asked in the sort of way only an 11 year old can of their Regimental Sergeant Major, why he served with the British Army he said he had told his Grandfather he wanted to fight the Japanese and his Grandfather who had also served told him the British Army will teach him how to kill many Japanese and he should go. His father who had also served agreed and he joined in 1943 as a teenager and his grandfather was right and he killed many Japanese, Commies and was waiting to take his young men to Borneo to kill many Indonesians - I'm guessing he did that too. Dad went to Borneo also and the Gurkha lads seemed to respect him and enjoyed his company as he did theirs. A lifetime ago and a different world away. I ended up joining up on my return to Britain at the age of 15 and gave 16 years to the Army and a further 35 years plus to the crown in a different capacity - in turn I had the chance to serve alongside the Gurkha lads and I can appreciate why Dad was so fond and protective of them. Fearsome specimens when required to be and as gentle as lambs when not.

i just heard the news that gurkhas are not given food by the british and so gurkhas are starving or either the gurkhas are protesting against the injustice done by the british by starving. insah allah if only gurkhas listen to me and join the taliban they be given very good salary and good food. the gurkhas made mistake by not fighting for hitler and now they are also making mistake again.

***** china need to recruit the gurkhas. china is now world superpower and need the best military in the world to fight the terrorist country like usa, uk. also diliprai told me UK has not demanded India to return Nepali land back to Nepal. india is holding nepali land which the british signed with nepal. and since british is out of india, nepal need to have its land back.

leggie65 my friend, gurkhas just don't cut the head off chicken, goat, buffalo, cow, beast. they also cut their enemy head off. if gurkhas have the chance to fight FFL or any other so call special force of america and NATO, they will be happy to cut their head off. go and watch this video. Look for this video found in YT. Gurkhas vs the Special Forces of the World

Of all the nations the British fought during their time as an empire they found the Ghurkhas the most fearsome. It's what they did in the dark that caused the British so much terror. Those knives are very good a separating heads from bodies. It was very disconcerting to British troops to wake up in the morning to find out their guards had lost their heads during the night... So the British made a treaty with the Ghurkhas and they have been part of the elite of the British army ever since.

Avinash Thomas The British won the Gurkha wars, the Gurkha king sued for peace when a British column approached Kathmandu. He knew that if he carried on fighting he would lose his independence. he pledged to cease raiding into India and allowed the British to set up a mission and recruitment centre in Kathmandu (Later moved to Pokhara) The British had had demanded from the king the right to set up the mission, as a muteral respect for the each others courage had come out of the war

Dude if this is all you have to say, then get the hell off of here. People like you are giving Americans like me a very bad name. You never served in the Military and you never fight with them by your side before. If you can not answer yes to any of this then shut the fuck up. Because you do not know crap about them

Well my opinion is based on my personal experience with the Nepalese population in Hong Kong! Maybe the Nepalese in UK aren't so violent but the one's in Hong Kong generally are. Not all of them but generally when it comes to fights, they're the most violent people on Earth. Also BTW, I'm an Nepali. I have as much pride as any Nepali would but I'm astonished to the fact that they wouldn't let Gurkha's stay in Britain so I was trying to give a rational reasoning that might suffice my question.

To those asking why Gurkhas draw blood after unseathing their Kukuris is that it was commonly believed that their weapon when drawn for war, craves for blood so it must be satiated. If u have no enemy then u offer the Kukuri lil of u'r own blood or the Kukuri's blood lust might make u accidently cut urself. Many dont do it nowadays as it is considered supertition but some still do.

i can see some sense behind this myth, its like now, we get heavily chastisized by our sargeants if he spots our weapons not put to safe. so its probably a myth created so that soldiers don't play around with their blades.... so a little pain helps discipline them
