To all Gurkhas fans, I think Gurkhas are loyal fighters. They would fight the same way for Osama bin laden, Maoists, British Empire, or kings of nepal. I think its in Neplease nature to be loyal with vandata that makes them fierce warriors. 200,000 gurkhas died in world war II and for what?....gurkhas gurkhas what did u die for?....and gurkha said nothing at all. It was nothing but a foriegn employment. Gurkhas who were raising corns in the hills of nepal were recruted for minimum wage to be cannon feeders by Brits, at home Rana sold them for 10.00 pounds each as royalty and kept the money in their personal account. Nothing so as to disrespect those fierce and loyal fighters. But i wish those 200,000 productive young men have stayed back home in nepal and raised some corn or kodo..so that nepal would not have pushed 50 years backwards. No one knows how much the death of 200,000 gurkhas effected nepal economically. I think that being a gurkha is just a foriegn employement and i am in favour of foriegn employment. I encourage more ppl to go out and seek employment. But there is no pride in haviing those 200,000 anchestors being kills for no apparent reason .They killed themselves for the war that they had no idea of. Gurkhas didnt even no who they were fighting for and what the world war was all about. Lets reach out the world and find ways to get employed in each way we all can. So that the little jobs we have left in Nepal can be spared for neplese back home. But lets also stop being proud of gurkhas who died for brits for 10.00 pounds its. It was our misfotune that our anchestors were used by people at home and the emperilists for their own benefits.
