Abracadabra, gurkhas are our history?  Are you nuts?  Magic tricks making you forget the grim reality huh??  Well, the Gurkhas were the ones whose remittance from abroad saved Nepal's foreign reserve inflows after democracy when tourism was non-existant (Thamel and Freak St. were dead then), India cut off most of its supplies of basic necessities to Nepal and most fat-cats who enjoyed the protection of the monarchy were transferring their wealth abroad.putting more strain on the economy.  That was then, today too, there are a large number of Gurkhas in the British Army so I have no clue as to where you get them as being history from?  They're still a part of the present.  Go to the hills of Gorha to the city/town of Dahran and see how the remittance from Gurkhas abroad have brought about an ease in the beneficiay's life.  This is happening even today and is still not yet history.  Now make yourself disappear as you're making no sense whatsoever.  Gadzookss!!!
