Are you serious or trolling? I got it, you are novice in history and have the delirium you know everything, it happens; happened to me some 10-15 years ago. Have you heard about Sardar Nandu Shah, hero of Sindhuligadhi war, who led a flank attack against Capt. Kinloch? He was a thakuri in unification army, You must have been in some kind of confusion between chhetri and thakuri. You can't see term Chhetri in Nepali history before Junga Bdr's reign, for he decreed all khas soldiers and public to call themselves as chhetri after 2nd tibbet war.
I don't know why you are finding hard to accept the fact, But, in fact Rai-Limbus were recruited way later than khas-thakuri and Magar-Gurung in british army. REad more, you are having "Little knowledgitis" syndrome. Just search 9th Gorkha and 2nd Gorkha which were/are Khas-thakuri and Magar-Gurung dominant regiments and descended from Garhwal rifle and Sirmoor, the two oldest Gorkha units formed right after Sugauli treaty. The artilce I posted is only about how British formed Gorkhali army during Anglo-Nepal war, illegally (Malaun Regiment).
By the way, I can smell haterd in you. You don't have to disparage contribution of any other community. FYI, King Grivanu Yuddha established a Kiranti (Rai,Limbu and Sunuwar) dominant unit in Nepal army, which still exists. Find the name of that unit, it's a little homework for you.
P.S. I am a Chhetri and hate none....
