yeah Magorkhe1 Bro, definition of Gorkhas changes on ones own needs. never heard this
" That is why they are called gorkhas: they die for their duty, country and family comes to second" .
First as what i have reading in different books both Nepalese and English. Gorkhali come directly from the place Gorkha. The term Gorkhali started while expanding the Kingdom of Gorkha. The first known until gorakh gand was established by Prithivi Narayan Shah and all the people were fighting under that name. Hence the phrase started aayo gorkhakali or gorkhali and kattar bhayera marnu bhanda ladera marnu jaati, which too has been rephrased.
Secondly after 1816 British were allowed to recruit people from Nepal and they established the First Gurkha Unit. maybe these people who came back home after fighting were shamed so they started your so called theory "That is why they are called gorkhas: they die for their duty, country and family comes to second."
now coming to my point gorkha kingdom was long dissembled when Nepal was free from Rana's clutch and re changed to Kingdom of Nepal so why are they still using the term and why others are not allowed to be recruited other than certain surnames.
These Topic should be raised.
