Wow Subrath, i like ur thinking...all the british Gurkhas serve the interest of the others and settle abroad, then how abt all the people who go abroad for studies and settle there, how abt them...are they working for our country's interest!!! How would u feel abt them.. Do these ppl make u feel like walking wit ur head high...Like u said i agree wit all the fact that the Gorkhalis are the true heros of nepal and we should definately feel proud of them...but plz y do u all label only the Gurkhas as they have deserted Nepal...there are hundreds of others..

 And for Shiva linga...i know u asked for the opinion of JPEG...but i would just like to say few words..First all the ppl line up thinking it as a job...n just like any work..where one could either succeed or fail...fortunately gurkhas seemed to excel in it..now few months back..i read a thread on Sajha..where it talked about some Nepali guy getting into NASA..and all the readers were like nepali no nak thulo garyo...Now u talked abt pride...if ppl can take pride in a success of one ppl coming frm the same country..shouldnt  u take pride in a success of some group of ppl...i hope u can relate to it...

P.S. U said u r frm army background, wat army??? if u r talking abt the british army..then i think u should know more abt it...
