Nalapani Bro please read my Answer 

Many bro, no offense but, you gave me false impression with your first few posts. Once I saw Chhetri were not allowed in British army I understood your real knowledge level.  Read Gurkha recruitment history. Just search 9th Gorkha rifle. Chhetri matra ho ra bro Kumaoni ra garhwali lai pani gorkha regiment ma bharna linthyo. READ...9th Gorkha was Khas (Chhetri, thakuri and khatri) dominant regiment while Chhetris were enlisted in 8th gorkha also. Lau yo indian army ko website hera... 
Well Bro whatever you think. But that is a fact. 9th Gurkha regiment was formed after 1816 which means Kumaon and Gariwal were already under British dominance, i.e all the chhetri that were in the Army were not directly recruited from Nepal but the province that was handed to British and the people there still have the common name of Nepal. Can you give me one reliable argument from Bhimsen Thapa till Ranuddip Singh actually sent Chhetris to be recruited in british Army. Bro hawa kura nagarum.
 
don't want to brag about my knowledge in Nepalese history but many older Sajha users know I know what I say. FYI, a soldier from 9th Gorkha, Sher Bdr Thapa Chhetri, won Victoria cross in San Marino during WW II. Do not embarrass yourself, read before commenting.
Again the regiment you are talking here was established after 1816. please you should read more than just thinking Thapa was actually from Nepal (maybe once upon a time) but when Nepal was fighting in kangada and had to return most of the soldiers remained across Mahakali. Please do your research bro.
Tandons?? I never heard about them again
why don't you buy a book called Shree Teen haru ko tathya Britanta by Purshotam Shamsher JB Rana. This is a mauscript written by Rudra Shamsher and was printed by Purshotam S JBR. You will find Mr. tondon there from captain then finally becoming Sardar. he was the most trusted official of Dheer Shamsher and Jung Bahadur. I don't have the book now otherwise i could give you the full name (yeah my bad).
The thing you are referring to Chhetri being in only in Junga bdr's army is during Indian sepoy mutiny, around 1858. Those soldiers were Nepalese soldiers, not british.
If you read my above post that is what i have said. The only time chhetris were fight was in the leadership of Jung Bahadur Rana. Please understand the issue i am raising here is completely with in the boundaries of Nepal. I am not interested in Indian Chhetris or Thapas either Kumoun gariwal or Darjeeling.
 Lau aru suna Many bro: have you heard about Jaliyawalan bagh incident in Indian history? I hope you have watched the movie GANDHI; Chhetri regiment of Gorkha rifle (9th) was stationed there in Jaliyawalan bagh massacre.
Bro when was jallainwal bagh massacred occurred. As you should know It was in  1919 and who was the prime minister then? CHandra Shamsher. You should know if you have read history what all he did. you are conflicting your own theory here.
Thakuri thiyena re unification army ma? Who are chautariyas? Any clue? Bom Shah was supreme commander of Western Frontiers in Anglo-Nepal war. All those surnames of Shah and Shahi in Nepalese history are Thakuris.
Nope Thakuri haru thiyenan. These was created to distinguished between Chhetri and ruler class i mean royal born. 1907 B.S bhanda pahila ko thakuri thiye tell me. Agreed about chautariyas as they were brothers of the king. When Jung Bahadur asked Surender for his daughter so he can get her to marry his son then Surendra used to address Jung Bahdur as Khas then he became Rajput after claiming his ancestors were from chitord and they were rana. Bro you should do little bit more studies in this. then Jung became rajput shaha chand sen etc royals became thakuris. lal mohar cha.
I can write a book in Nepalese history/ Gorkha recruitment history but I am a not a historian by profession (I beg you, I am not bragging). I know most of the shits (probably you never heard many of them before) about both Nepal-Tibbet wars but never came across any Tandons. Are you a Tandon? If yes, I can understand.
Maybe you are i cannot comment on that cause myself i think i am still learning and trust me i would be interested to what you have to say. maybe i can gain knowledge from you. no i am not tondon infact i am not even Chhetri. but due has to be given to people who fought for the country again please read Shree Teen haru ko tathya Britanta by Purshotam Shamsher JB Rana.
Laure bro, I know distinction between Kumai and Purbiya bahuns. Most of bahuns in Gorkha house were kumai bahuns as P N shah loved them. Purbiya bahuns were mostly in adminstrative posts and kumais in the army.
That is what i have been saying Cha Ghar thar not Char jaat. 
Nice try to scare me with Nagarik news. I read more reliable sources than that
Bro my intention is not to scare you but i want you to read a column in sukhrabar where histories are debated and more reliable sources are given. what do you think of these 2 people in re writing history Prakash A Raj and Dinesh Pant.

Anyway i am enjoying the conversation with you. please do post your counter attack debate so we can go on and i can be more educated
