In fact, NR FYI, biharis and UPeans did not fall under 'martial class' in british's classification of people in indian sub continet. This is why still today they are not given preferrene in indian army also.
Why did not they join Na?
1. They were not there in so called madhes during the unification program
2. During anglo-Nepal war, madhesis people worked as pathfinder for East Inida company against Gorkhali (Colonel Ujir sing Thapa killed many such traitor madhises in Butwal and adjoining areas). So they were not trusted as an honest race.
3. During Rana regime, around 1857 AD, one NA equaled 15 indian sepoy so they were not thought of being a warrior class. [Tatya Tope, Jhanis ki Rani, Last Mughal king Bahdur shah Zaffar and Rani of Tulsipur(Chauhan) gathered some 150 K indian sepoys working for British in India. They became rebellion to East India company. Only Punjabis stood for EIC. Because of deficiency of army personnel to solve this Gadhar EIC requested PM & CAS Sir Jung Bahadur Rana for Help. Jung Bahadur Rana gathered a froce of 10000 NA from 1st Rifle, debidatta, Sabuj, Kalibahadur, etc. and deployed under his own command in Lucknow. NA fought and destroyed outnumber of indian rebels ]
3. After advent of democracy in 2007 BS, (R)NA was opened to everyone apart from it's initial members like Chhetri (Khas), Magar, Gurung and Thakuri. By this time Tamangs got opportunity to join NA and you can see plenty of Tamangs in NA today. So, if Tamng could join army, why madises not? Ask madhise people, they tell you the answer. Being a technical person matters more in their community [ and technical boy = higher drowry]. Probably, the army is not their kind of profession thats why they distant themselves from NA.
I have heard NA (Gen C.M S. Gurung) has made a deal with USA to deploy NA in Iraq and Afaganistan under NATO forces. As Sidster said, few hunderds of madhisis should be deplyoed there to test their aptness for being an army. I am damn sure, no such people will make a hue and cry to join NA afterwards.
