Nalapani bro, I tried to go through your older posts this morning, but really couldn't find any substantial literature on him. And then the Sajha archives just became too slow. San, please up the ante on the archives, will ya? Bro, please direct me to some links of GS Rayamajhi. I would really love to read more. Except few pictures, really couldn't find anything on google.

Many, yes those were the warriors, just fearsome. One of my favorite was Bhakti Thapa. But I would be just a wee bit careful trying to belittle the contribution of today's Gorkhas. To me, every soldier that joins the army deserves some praise because they have voluntarily decided to serve. One may argue on the narrative of who they serve, but joining the ranks is putting your life on the line and to me that's honorable.

We have a long line of generations of ancestors that have come before me, up to my father, that have joined the army. This is is a fascinating subject matter and I will be following this thread and look forward to your contribution.
