Gurkhas - Part 1/2 (HD)
Gurkhas have been part of the British Army for almost 200 years, but who are these fearsome Nepalese fighters?

I'm a US Army veteran and had the pleasure of meeting a company of Gurkha, wow, what tough little warriors They humped ruck all over that mountain at a pace that we just couldn't match. I'd love to have a few pints with them out of respect.

My dad taught me about the Gurkhas when I was a young kid in America. He said they were the most capable soldiers in the world. I knew I would never have the ability to join since I'm not British or Nepalese, so I joined the US Marines. It's the closest I could get :-) Much respect to these guys!

Krize Bhattarai You're mental, right? I mean, I've got serious issues with their pay and benefits, but why the immediate, laughable jump to "slavery?" Have you the slightest clue about these lads in their home country? Have you seen the abject poverty they live in? The total lack of opportunity? These boys want to be Gurkhas from the time they can walk, because they're natural warriors. It's in their blood, and it gives them more purpose than a soft, complacent type like yourself could ever hope for. They would laugh in your silly little face for spitting that nonsense around them.

I had the Honor to had trained with the Gurkhas Hong Kong detachment when I was stationed in Korea prior to Britain handing it over to the PRC, I have great respect for these men of honor.
I hate the U.K sometimes, the government doesn't show the Gurkhas half as much respect as they deserve... Long live the Gurkhas, you are an honour to Britain.

They used to get less pay while outside of the UK and while in the UK they got extra money for higher cost of living etc, now they get the same pay as a british soldier, and when you think that 1 months pay in britain is prob over 1 year in their own country, they are pretty rich when they go back home. So i'll call that respect.
The only regiment in the British Army without an insulting nickname - that tells you the respect that they have earned since the Indian Mutiny of 1857
Gurkhas are my major motivation to join the Indian Army )) And I'm a big fan of Gurkha People for their behaviour and also a big fan of Sam Manekshaw )) #Respect

I recall the compliments of my third eldest brother about these gurkha soldiers. He came to know them while serving in the Malaysian Police Field Force. I think this was during the Indonesian Confrontation.
Gurkha were hired because of bravery. Not just the warrior that fight in war. There civilian will fight to death. In a village of 600 British East India company declared war with 4000 plus men armed with rifle and canon they charged. The village used gorilla tactic and wan killing 1000 plus and injuring many. Village made up of children adult and elderly that were of 600 wan with stone. Stick. Arows and kukari. Against a might that was far advanced in military weapons. a reason they are hired for over 200 years by britan. There is a saying that Germany even tried Nepal to be on there side in ww2 mainly because of there previous encounter in ww1. As Nepal was a independent Kingdome and not part of Commonwealth. They still joined Britian. Loyal they truly are

I heard a song sung in villages as follows: GAI TA PALEY BANAIKO BAGALAI XORA PALEY ANGREJI RAJALAI It is sad for the Gorkhas loosing substantial part of their own country to the British that were uniting Indian states together. Having lost their land/home Nepal continues to lose her sons for little necessities in life. Hope some day they get what is their legitimate, rather than mere respects which lacks seriousness.

Gurkhas are heroes for their families...
these men are brilliant, massive respect.
Apparently the Gurkhas are made of toughened plastic and can go without food for two months. They also don't have a word for 'fear' or 'bullshit' in their language. Next episode is about the SAS, which stands for Super Army Soldiers.
Really nic video
proud to be nepali n gurkhali..
I learned something today :D
Gurkha name it self mean protector of world. Gurkha means protector of. Cow. Cow is very symbolic. Cow being a mother figure as we drink there milk. And cow is the form mother earth took to journey to meet bramha the creationist who created all life form. Therefore representing the protector of earth. Gurkha are in many country. They serve to protect the nation they give there oath to. They are known to be used in Singapore. India. Nepal. Britain and in island of boreno. They are also in Myanmar and other country they now live in. Gurkha use to be from all Nepali warrior cast. However when Hindu revolted British East India company asked only for selected clan to join the military
My admiration to them
Gorkha is natural warrior..gorkha is honest we dont fear anything
As an Infantry paratrooper combat veteran, I can say the Ghurkas are some of the most bad-ass infantry-men on the planet. The UK has a well developed source of kick ass soldier recruits in the Ghurkas. They stand their ground. Once they pull their knives- also known as ghurkas- the enemy runs. Everytime.
Pride of Nepal....GORKHA #Respect
thanks
Respect!
The world's finest Infantrymen!
If a man says he is not afraid of dying he is lying or is a gurkha.

Young Nepalese are not just soldiers, A increasing number are attending American Universities.
Parachute story is aprocryphal, and mistold, at that. The original tale, from several sources (still aprocryphal) is that the debate was about what height they would leap from the airplane, they tried to talk them down to 100 meters, the officer suggested that was not high enough for the parachutes to deploy... Gurkhas, then realizing there were parachutes involved, volunteered en masse.
gurkhas is the best all over the world,,,
UK should look after the Ghurkas better, sounds like we wouldn't have won half our battles without them. We give untold aid to all sorts of things that probably deserve it less
Every Regiment and Corps in the British Army has an insulting nickname except one - the Gurka's - Had the privilege to see them in action and I am glad they were on our side! I will always remember the huge punch ups in Aldershot where any cap badge was fair game, but no-one ever started on the little men in black blazers quietly drinking in the corner.... Respect to them all
the British sas consider the gurkhas as being the most reliable ally

Best soldiers on the planet, ironically, they work for another country, lol. They are just perfect soldiers: smart in the battlefield, can withstand a lot of stress both physical and mental, and most important... naive and poor enough for not realizing that they are willing to die for a country that isn't theirs and more likely than not pays them shit. I give an standing ovation to the cheeky, astute British.

It's Fek The First You are right on that, by now I bet each party has assimilated perfectly its counterpart, and well... poverty and extreme necessity pushes you to do your absolute best in order to survive, and in this case Gurkhas pulled the trick brilliantly. Regarding your previous comments, just have one doubt, Did they actually got to fight in the Falklands?? the Argentinians shat themselves when Gurkhas arrived. That's what is heard in my Latin America... actually the legend says that when Gurkhas captured Argentinian 18yrs old army reservists, they raped them before slitting their throats with the kukri... geez, don't know if that's true but damn, it sounds pretty gruesome even for war standards.
