    As an Englishman, these men have so much respect from me. They are my brothers. I was so embarrassed when they weren't offered English passports after their service. A celebrity had to step in and bring it to the media's attention. They and their families should be given the highest honour from Britain and the full support from our government. These guys are legendary and every British soldier I have ever heard hold them in the highest regard, they are among the best in the world. We owe them so much. Fearless warriors. Thank you to all these men from the bottom of my heart.

    I met a Gurkha officer once and he told me that he took a platoon up to an obstacle course, explained the whole course, where to go and what to do, then said "go". No one moved. he asked the NCO why no one had moved and the NCO said: "Gurkhas follow their officers", so off went the officer, first.

      tk421missing sorry but that's just stupid and ignorant. America and Canada's success were built on land and resources stolen from it's native peoples. Nepal has very little natural resources to trade, that's why the country is poor.

    Although I am a British citizen and therefore completed my assessment in the UK, I can completely relate as to how the Nepalis may be feeling prior to their final interview. I can not describe how anxious and nervous I was waiting for my interview on the final day of assessment. I was the last to be interviewed, after waiting a gruelling two hours. My thoughts were racing, I also desperately needed to pee! Once I got to the interview room, I could feel my heart thumping through my chest. Once I was told I had passed with an A grade, I felt the biggest relief I’ve ever felt in my life! As I ran back to the main room, I had completely ran past the reception point, I was just so excited! The staff had to call my number (13) to tell me I was running the wrong way. I’ll never forget my emotions on that day, which I’m sure are similar to that of the Nepalis waiting for their results.
    As of now I am in basic training, although unfortunately I had injured myself a few weeks ago, so I’m currently undergoing physio, so hopefully I can join the next training platoon in a month or two !

    I've read several times on the Internet that many young Nepalese men desperately want to join the British Gurkhas to avoid lives of poverty in their homeland. The UK is at peace with a small army and maintains its Gurkha military establishment as more from tradition than from need. As a result, the British authorities can afford to be more than selective in choosing recruits, the cream of the crop. I know little of the Gurkhas other from what you can read on the Internet but it does appear the British Army has a soft spot in its heart for the Gurkhas. While reading a book on World War One about feeding British and Commonwealth soldiery in Europe and Gallipoli, a paragraph mentioned the good relationship between the British officers and their Gurkha enlisted men and how willing the Gurkha soldiers were in accommodating themselves to their British officers, giving them the least problems as possible. All this, just to think, originated several centuries ago from two, ferocious Anglo-Nepalese Wars that only historians remember. It was similar to the equally ferocious Anglo-Sikh Wars that led the British to incorporating large number of Sikhs into the British Army.

      I have always reiterated the fact that Gurkhas are now just a 'ceremonial entity' rather than a need for the crown. Having said that, you will never, never, never ever find any other loyal soldier material in the world than the Gurkhas/Gorkhas and the Sikhs ( Punjabis).

    Poverty brings the best out of every person you can't see in a rich or developed country. These boys are hungry to break away from poverty cycle, forever, to become Gurkha.
    It is heartening that the world still needs Gurkha, and thus offer great opportunity for Nepal village kids to uplift their life, in exchange for services they have always felt proud in doing for many generations.
    In this day and age, hate speech and terrorism are everywhere and there is no peace in this world. Gurkhas are doing many countries a favour in peace keeping and often being placed at the front line of war zone. They are nice people to keep your home safe, so be nice to them.
    The interesting thing about these Gurkha, I often mistook them as Chinese, yet they are Nepali. I guess they have the best of both world. I hope, someday, I have the opportunity to visit Nepal.

I asked him to please explain how come you admire the gurkha. The soldier narrated something that had stuck with him it goes as follow's "We were on a high ridge in an entrenched position with mg 3's (mg 42), the regular indian forces would advance in waves at night upon our position and their assault would break after suffering a few casualties. However the wave of gurkhas did not break and they died to the last man, when the man in front was shot the man following behind would lift and toss his comrade over his head to the rear and break his weapon over his knee" I asked how did you know they were gurkhas?. The soldier said they had a battle cry "Jai kali, ayo gurkali". Whenever a gurkha was taken prisoner they were treated with great respect.

      Hi, its 200+ years! Please let me explain, whilst within the British Army these young men remain patriotic to their Motherland of Nepal and retain their own citizenship with Nepalese National days being honoured and their own Nepalese Diplomatic Staff being treated as honoured guests at Regimental gatherings. A gurkha soldier sees himself as being a representative of Nepal, hence their behaviour and general attitude. Nowadays they have the right to remain with their families (if they want to) in the UK after their Service ends. It should always be made clear that the Gurkhas are NOT a British equivalent of the French Foreign Legion who are provided with "new" identities to disguise their probably criminal past. This video shows the pride their families have in witnessing their son become a Gurkha soldier and following, perhaps, a family tradition in the British Army. The British Army /Gurkha relationship is, I believe, totally unique. Respects to you.

    I felt so sorry for all those country men who served as mercenary in British and Indian army.the pride we held as gorkhali was for the expansion and unification of Nepal.later on these youth force as being exploited and send to different country for economy generation.its high time we should act now to look for our own mother land. It will develop if you put same effort hard work and dedication.

      How do the rest of Nepalis view the phenomenon and the Gurkhas? And either I don't know how the Gurkhas see their motherland... Quite interesting and a bit weird...

    Wow!
    As a usmc veteran, private military contractor, and lifetime martial artist, there are few fighting forces I would fear facing.
    Ghukras are one of them!
