Sumedhu,

                I do respect the fact that people have their own opinions, thoughts, perceptions regarding whatever subject but I would not believe your ignorance if you are a Nepalese. I really don't know the definition of bravery in your words as a Bhupi Sherchan follower who never knew the consequences of going into such a war conflict zone(kuwako bhyaguta). The dictionary meaning is:The quality of mind enabling one to face danger or hardship resolutely. It was because of the person in power that the rest of Nepal's previous part was merged into India.Please do some research before you speak out on such a sensitive matter. The second world war was all about the Germans, Americans, Italians, Russians, the whole of Europe fighting each other and there was no need for the Nepal's participation in it.The Gurkhas army was sent as a helping hand to prevent the Germans from invading UK. That was not for money, that was as per the duty call as a friend to the UK government and was told that if we win, we will win by your side or else lose by your side. So what if it was for money, we all do a whole lotta garbage for money. Of course the situation is different now, but if you go and ask the old ladies who faced the war in UK, they will cry in your lap saying the Gurkhas saved their husbands. The Gurkhas were everywhere from Burma fighting the Japanese to the Europe fighting the Germans. And guess what, the German and the Japanese Army were only scared of the Gurkhas, maybe because of the psychological effect, but it's really surprising that one of the ruthless German and Japanese army simply believed and ran away.  Lots of British, American people died and they were brave too. It's really funny for you to think of only the Gurkhas fought the wars haha, of course the ratio was far less. Anyways, more of the Gurkhas were praised for their honesty, loyalty and sacrifices with Victoria crosses than their counterparts British, let alone the other deserving ones who went unnoticed. It's not about the size dear, it's about the speed and determination, the passion and the sense of responsibility. Necessity is the mother of invention. These people were not wild, these people knew how to work hard, how to cross the river to get back home,how to climb the trees to get the fruits and feed their children, how to harvest crops in such geographical locations considered one of the hardest in the world.I don't know about today's generation but I'm proud that they were a significant part when the world needed them, I'm proud that they went on with their courage though they were afraid(not brave according to Sumedhu),I'm proud when people appreciate leaving flowers in their cemeteries in France, I'm proud when they are respected with the parades once a year in UK, I'm proud when their statues are saluted in Italy, I'm proud when people say they were and are the bravest of the brave. Bhupi Sherchan is just a s.h.i..t poet and Sumedhu, please follow his footsteps if you like. Don't bring his s.h.i..t here. Please keep his s.h.i..t with you and be happy.
