Gorkha Regiment Among Worlds best elite military units

Nepal was never under colonial rule :coffee:

The Brigade of Gurkhas are Nepalese fighting units of the British Army, named after a hill region that stretches from Nepal into India. They have been a part of the British military since 1815, when Gurkha soldiers were encouraged to join the East India Company's army to help "keep the peace" in newly conquered India.


Nepal isn't the subject of my post but the Gurkhas.
 
That 300 number is epic tale but no doubt Spartans were one of the best warriors of all time. But do not forget bravery and skills of Sikh , Rajput and Maratha against much larger armies.

Yea, there were more than 300 actually, around 5000 from other Greek states. But their valor has to be admired. Similar for our own Sikhs , Rajputs and Marathas.
 
Like the mercenaries for Gulf states , right?

Stop being stupid , Gulf states don't "own" or "command" our men in the Gulf , they are sent over on "deputation" for "joint training" under agreement between two govts. There is a huge difference between representing your country in a brotherly state and being a "slave" of an empire.

They kept the Gurkhas in British Army since 1815 because of their bravery and fighting skills. Any people from your country will like to join British Army for a high pay job but they will never take you. Because this is not master-slave relationship. :lol:

Is it the best you can come up with ? , British did not keep them for their "bravery" but of their "seduced nature" and "yes sir" behavior. Just wondering if Gurkhas were used to keep India in control by Brits , how many Indians would have been killed by Gurkhas?

Then what do you call Australia? A constitual monarchy still under the queen .. Slave nation??

Balochis ---ex-Faujis --- Bahrain .Tsk Tsk.
 
Than how Nepalese and Gurkhas are different. :lol: The Gurkha soldiers in British army are Nepalese.


Are your out of your mind or something ? - i haven't been talking about Nepalese as Gurkhas do not represent the Nepelease population as not many if any were loyal to the British empire !

Gurkhas were paid thugs with Nepalese origin which chose to stay with the British colonials for the sake of financial gains thats why i called a master and slave relationship.

In this equation you can also include sikh regiments which fought in France for British against Nazis for what ? , what interests of their own if any could those men have with "defending french" - in my mind it was just "ultimate seduction" to a colonial power !

Almost a century ago someone took over your country and literally "raped it" you tell me how one can be loyal to the invaders and his own country at the same time ?
