Sorry to intrude upon this civil discussion but I always wanted to find out what being Gorkhali implied. Do you have to have ancestorial roots in Gorkha to be a gorkhali or do you inherit the gorkhali title with your Nepali citizenship?

Which brings me to my other questions. Are all the jawans registered in british army or indian army descendants of Gorkha? I am sure a lot of them are from different parts of Nepal. So why the big buzz on the word 'gorkha' instead of Nepal ??
