Many bro, no offense but, you gave me false impression with your first few posts. Once I saw Chhetri were not allowed in British army I understood your real knowledge level. Read Gurkha recruitment history. Just search 9th Gorkha rifle. Chhetri matra ho ra bro Kumaoni ra garhwali lai pani gorkha regiment ma bharna linthyo. READ...9th Gorkha was Khas (Chhetri, thakuri and khatri) dominant regiment while Chhetris were enlisted in 8th gorkha also. Lau yo indian army ko website hera...

I don't want to brag about my knowledge in Nepalese history but many older Sajha users know I know what I say. FYI, a soldier from 9th Gorkha, Sher Bdr Thapa Chhetri, won Victoria cross in San Marino during WW II. Do not embarrass yourself, read before commenting.

Tandons?? I never heard about them again.

The thing you are referring to Chhetri being in only in Junga bdr's army is during Indian sepoy mutiny, around 1858. Those soldiers were Nepalese soldiers, not british.

Krishna, read my older posts in Sajha, I have written more about G S Rayamajhi.
