My maternal grandfather served in East India company by changing his surname to a non-Brahmin one because of the requirements. He had documented his service in World War 2 (in Italy) and was active during the partition in Punjab and Jammu-Kashmir. He retired shortly after, retuned to Nepal and living a long pensioned life of almost 6 decades. He passed away at the age of 90.

But after the indian rebellion of 1857 , gorkhas were used to suppress the rebellion but fearing the same religion and brahminical influence on military assuming hindu caste being susceptible to brahminical values , they discouraged the khas groups and recruited from tribes like magar and gurung who were nature worshippers or buddhists. They feared that during the next rebellion the gorkhas would support the indians so .... Now the colonization is over , any caste can be recruited

It's no doubt it used whatever available manpower viz gurkhas etc...to gain their hold over the Indian subcontinent. Brahmins like Tatya Tope , Rani Laxmi Bai were at the forefront of Indian freedom struggle. It's only people from lower economic backgrounds who had volunteered to support the British against its own people. Such people are a total disgrace to the country. Gurkhas because of total non existent economic policies in Nepal would serve in any batallions of a country for their livelihood. They are good to be hired as mercenaries. No doubt they considered joining the Wagner group in the ongoing Russo- Ukraine war. They were also used in the Jalianwala Baugh massacre. Whether we should support them in our country is a point to be considered since they are here only for their economic interests?

They fought wars won badges and awards like Battle Honours in Uri sector in 1947/8, Ladakh in 1962, Jammu and Kashmir in 1965 and 1971. Additionally, they have been awarded three Param Vir Chakras, 33 Maha Vir Chakras, and 84 Vir Chakras. Not only this, they have played an important role in the Indian peacekeeping force in Sri Lanka, and have been involved in the UN peacekeeping missions in Lebanon and Sierra Leone Apart from the awards above mentioned, the Gurkha regiments have won 26 Victoria Crosses (highest bravery medal in Britain), among which 13 Victoria Crosses were awarded to British officers who served in the Gurkha regiments and the other 13 to Gurkha soldiers. Additionally, the Gurkha soldiers have also won two George Cross medals, for acts of bravery outside combat. More than 46,000 Gurkhas have died fighting for the British Crown. The Gurkha regiments have fought both World War I and World War II. The total participating soldiers were over 200,000 where more than 20,000 were deemed wounded, died or went missing in WWI and more than 23,000 in WWII. As of 2020, there are approximately 32,000 soldiers serving in 40 battalions under seven Gurkha regiments. Out of all regiments, 1st Gurkha Rifles, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th and 11th Gurkha Rifles are serving under the Indian Army with around 800 soldiers in each of them. Likewise, 2nd, 6th, 7th and 10th Gurkha Rifles are in the British Army.

If the principle is martial race theory and its rejection, you can make a far better argument against is by not using the example of people who are not racially divergent and are in fact the same people, culturally, religiously and racially, you could have picked a better example. Also, to say that certain groups of people don't have a certain predelictiom to certain things based on a variety of factors such as social conditioning, the lifestyles of the people, the sort of climate they come from, etc and their cultural experience with a particular field including warfare, is a just ignoring facts, calling it 'martial race theory' or whatever has a hint of 19th century European gene supremacist thinking which is a whole other conversation, but certain groups of people are better at certain things, to recognise these differences does not make one racist.

During the period from 1800 to 1820, the British Empire was involved in several wars and military campaigns across different regions. Here is a list of some of the significant conflicts: 1. Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815): The British Empire, along with its allies, fought against the forces of Napoleon Bonaparte's French Empire. These wars were a series of conflicts that spanned Europe and other parts of the world, including naval battles, land campaigns, and colonial struggles. 2. Anglo-Maratha Wars (1803-1818): The British East India Company fought a series of wars against the Maratha Empire in India. These conflicts resulted in the gradual annexation of Maratha territories and the establishment of British control over large parts of India. 3. Anglo-Mysore Wars (1799, 1800-1801, 1803-1804): The British Empire fought a series of wars against the Kingdom of Mysore in southern India, primarily led by the ruler Tipu Sultan. These conflicts resulted in the defeat of Tipu Sultan and the final annexation of Mysore by the British. 5. Fourth Anglo-Dutch War (1780-1784): Although it started before 1800, this war continued into the early 19th century. The British Empire fought against the Dutch Republic, resulting in British victories and the capture of several Dutch colonies, including Cape Colony (South Africa) and Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). 6. Anglo-Nepalese War (1814-1816): The British East India Company engaged in a war with the Gorkha Kingdom (Nepal). The conflict ended with the signing of the Treaty of Sugauli, which led to the cession of territories to the British and the recruitment of Gorkha soldiers into the British army. 7. First Anglo-Burmese War (1824-1826): Although it started after 1820, this war is worth mentioning as it was a significant conflict involving the British Empire. The British fought against the Burmese Empire, leading to the annexation of territories in present-day Myanmar (Burma) and the imposition of British control. These are just a few examples of the wars and conflicts in which the British Empire was engaged during the period from 1800 to 1820. The British Empire was involved in various other military campaigns, both within and beyond its colonial territories, during this time. As an expanding empire then, it was dealing with one of the conqueror 'Napeleon', who did not trust the British, on its boundaries. It was a different situation as Europe was very unstable back then. British recruited militaries from nearby regions, such as Gurkhas, Sikhs. They were always loyal. They played important role for British as well as for the establishment of the present India. At present, the world is multipolar and we see multiple geopolitical issues with neighbouring countries. Now, we need to understand 'daju bhai ko jhagada ma bahira ko manche khusi'. Those people who conquered India and recruited Gurkhas were always on the profit side and still following the same story. They are on the advantage side as always. We need to think how to utilise those energy to build our own countries. Jai Nepal Jai Bharat BRING BACK THE GLORY OF ASIA !!!

We have Rajputana, Kumaoni, Dogra, Assamese, Naga, Ladakhi, Maratha, etc units who are equally capable soldiers. It's not the troops but the officers that matter. Since the Gurkha Rifles and Sikh Regiments have a long history, the cream of graduating officers prefer to be in those regiments. If you still believe in Martial Races then remember that Tribal Naxalites of Chattisgarh, Odisha and Andhra have fought the paramilitary for decades with nothing but crude bombs and bolt action Rifles. The officer cadre of Naxalites are more efficient than IPS officers who command units.

Gupta ji, you have not covered the subject which is the title of the video. You have delved into the history of the Gurkha regiments and the martial race theory but not said a word about the fallout of the non availability of recruits from Nepal for the Gurkha regiments. The Indian Army had foreseen this possibility and nowadays the shortfall from Nepal is being made up by recruitment of hill people from Garhwal and Kumaon (who are of similar ethnicity) into the Gurkha regiments.

Excellent presentation on the history of the so-called 'martial races', the new Agniveer system of recruitment and its consequences, such as the Nepal Givernments refusal to permit recruitments under the new scheme.🙏

Actually, the British genuinely believed in the ridiculous MARTIAL RACE THEORY. Lord Roberts was its architect. It was not just incorporating vanquished forces. They genuinely considered tall, fair, blue-eyed individuals to make better soldiers (not just as warriors but also discipline-wise). Hence, Pathans, Rajputs, Sikhs, Gurkhas and Marathas were their preferred stock. The Indian army was reformed in 1956, but British elements remained. Even in the current scenario, the North has more representation in the army. That said, one needs to understand that the rest of India has had better economic opportunities in other fields, and the army is not the sole benchmark of patriotism.

I am a Gurung myself. Gurungs are a completely different ethnic group to Magar with different language and traditions. Same way Punjabis and Gujratis are not the same. Also, Gurungs follow Buddhisim and Bon religion, ancient shaman practices whilst Magars are predominantly Hindus. I agree with you though on the fact that Gurungs are slightly taller and browner than our Eastern 'cousins' Limbus and Rais who tend to look more fairer and are more likely to have slanted eyes. Gurungs can look East Asian like Chinese and tibetans or darker South East Asian like Malaysians, filipinos, etc.

Another very informative piece Sir. I was particularly taken by your explanation of the "Martial Races" theory, and wondered if that might not be extended back in time to the raising of the Scottish Regiments after Culloden in 1746. In the years following the defeat of the Jacobite forces, with England embroiled in a new kind of warfare in the forests of North America, they sought out Scottish soldiers because of their particular prowess in this kind of environment? It would also have removed a sizeable body of otherwise potentially troublesome soldiers out of Scotland as you noted was a consideration for the offer to the Gorkha's. Just a thought. Thanks again for you and your team's superb journalism.

Thanks, for explaining.

The Nepalese Gorkha recruitment in the Indian as well as the British army is a remnant of colonialism which must be done away with as soon as possible. Nepalese nationals should not die in wars that are not ours.

Historically, the terms "Gurkha" and "Gorkhali" were synonymous with "Nepali", which originates from the hill principality Gorkha Kingdom, from which the Kingdom of Nepal expanded under Prithvi Narayan Shah.[7][8] The name may be traced to the medieval Hindu warrior-saint Guru Gorakhnath[9] who has a historic shrine in Gorkha District. The word itself derived from Go-Raksha (Nepali: गोरक्षा i.e., 'Protector(रक्षा) of cows(गो')), raksha becoming rakha (रखा). Rakhawala means 'protector' and is derived from raksha as well.

It is not feasible as PLA is army of Communist Party not of China it cannot allow any non communist to serve in it. Nepal govt is simply spreading this rumour to bargain with India. Additionaly any Nepalese does not require permission to take job in India. They can just travel to UP or Bihar and join the Agnipath scheme.

As science and technology advance, it is crucial to prioritize the development and deployment of weapons such as drones and other essential gadgets. Recent conflicts, like the Russia-Ukraine war, have highlighted the pivotal role of drones in warfare and border inspections across various terrains.
