LITTLE KNOWLEDGE IS DANGEROUS THING.
Do you know the recruitment history of Gurkha in british army (though I don't feel proud of being a british gurkha) ? How come gurkha's war cry is JAY MAHAKALI, AYO GORKHALI if they were not nepali speaking people??
Gurkha is a transliteration of Gorkha. Khas (chhetri, fake chhetri in your opinion) and Thakuri then Magars were the first to be recruited in BA. They established companies called Garhwal regiment and Sirmoor batallion to recruit hill people of nepal. Later they formed independent GR base on ethnicity. FYI 9th GR is a pure Chhetri and Thakuri regiment, a soldier of which, Rifleman Sher Bahadur Thapa Chhetri, bagged a glorious VC in San Marino during WW II.
FYI, The leading operatioal commander in Kargil war was Col. Lalit Rai (GR). Rajesh singh Adhikari is a pahadey khas resididng in garhwal. It's GR who should be credited highest for the victory.
