oh ddear...... Gorkhas are the chettrys Originally, your friend had to change his name??? Bullsh#T. Man you even know what it is to achieve the Gurkha Status? The Britons had so many colonies during its quest to expand.........Why the Gurkhas....plain and simple.....the Briton got a ass whipping experience fighting the gurkhas. Have you seen the tempers of ras, limbu, gurung, magars and chettrys. Maybe not. have i seen the anger of Americans ...or everyone else...?? yes...they lack the intensity of insanity...........Get a gurkha mad.......sanity is out of the door and get ready for a insane LATO RIS. But make a Gurkha happy and friend......he will give his life without reasoning. Now this is what others lack. I do agree that all soldiers of other countries are brave men ready for battle........in a do or die situation. its the KAYAR BANNU BHANDA MARNU BES moto and the intense of the fighting skills shown by the compact short yet intense gurkha force Makes Gurkhas the bravest. ....you see the difference between comparing brave men willing to fight and those who defy death are completly different........................Think about it.
