Nepal's Mighty Gurkhas | 101 East

  • Every year, thousands of young Nepalese men endure gruelling physical training, punishing runs and relentless scrutiny for what they see as a chance of a lifetime - the opportunity to become a Gurkha soldier in the British Army.
    Only 432 will make it.
    For boys from remote mountain villages, it can be a pathway out of poverty - not just for them, but for their entire families.
    But first, they must survive a brutal selection process.
    Major Sandy Nightingale, who runs the recruitment process, adopts a no-holds-barred approach when telling the candidates what to expect.
    "If you join the British Army Brigade of Gurkhas, you have to be prepared to sacrifice your life to protect the UK, your fellow soldiers and the Gurkhas Brigade," he tells them.
    Kamal Gurung, who comes from a family of farmers, has been training for this moment for years. He is desperate to help lift his family out of poverty and transform their lives in one of the world's poorest countries.
    "If I succeed, I'll be able to give my family a normal life, and all the happiness they deserve. They'll feel like their hard work finally paid off," he says.
    But will he make it through the punishing endurance tests and stringent medical examinations?
    101 East follows Nepal's latest hopeful recruits as they battle it out to see who has what it takes to join the legendary Gurkhas.

    I tried two times and failed. Very tough competition. But the training I did in preparation for joining nearly 4 years makes me very strong physically and mentally for other jobs later and this hope also makes lot of young boys also stay away from drugs and crime because when once they make habit of hard exercise it will be life long habit.

      @Cyborg Gamer give yourself some time to heal brother. It felt devastating for me when I was filtered out at pokhara, it felt like a dream for months and was on the verge of hope that they might have made a mistake and would call me back. I became incapable of separating reality and fantasy! But it took me almost 1 year to heal from this. Now I am studying abroad and make almost as much as a british soldier. So you just need to give yourself some time and be arroubd friends who supports you.

    Back in the 80's when I was a frontline soldier in the British Army, in 1985 I was in the Falklands for some months, we had a detachment of Gurkhas with us, they were so polite and friendly, I had no idea how hard they had it getting in the British army, its almost embarrassing how different it was for us British guys to get in; even to become a frontline soldiers, hats off to them all and to those that try...

    One of my friends with whom I’ve spent almost my entire school life got in the Gurkhas in this exact batch. Dude had great academics and was talented in virtually anything. I feel great for him cause he’s achieved such a rare opportunity but at the same time lil bit sad because the socioeconomic condition of our country is forcing bright youths like him to leave their actual talents and focus on all this just to support their families.

      Agree can we please find out more about him? The first boy who got sent home is thousands of dollars in debt. If everyone watching this can pitch in a little, we can help him out. He is obviously very hardworking and he deserves a chance at something better - he already went through all that training and was doing well despite a heart condition. That's a winner.

    I tried 3 years to get selected in BA but unfortunately couldn’t make it.
    All that hard training and sacrifice just goes in the vein at that moment when you are pulled out of the group and you step out of that gate.
    But it was a wonderful experience and I am really proud that I tried and gave my best.
    It’s not the test it’s the competition that makes it really intense.
    One of the Guru Ji said that “If you fail don’t be disappointed, it’s not the end”.
    To everyone who are able to get selected hats off to you and to those who fails/failed like me
    ITS NOT THE END……… YOU ARE STILL TOO YOUNG TO GIVE UP .
    After I failed I thought I was a failure but than I said to myself I deserve better. I went back to college and completed my studies. Now I am IT professional, we need to fail to succeed.

    While watching the entire documentary. I just realised one thing. If you work hard and you succeed then that's great. But, if you don't then not to worry. You, were never meant for that. Maybe, you went to a different direction. There is something meaningful and fruitful awaiting for you somewhere else. The hard work and dedication will really pay you off. Jay Nepal.🙏

    One of the reasons that India won the Kargil war was because the Gurkhas were able to scale a 100 foot wall of solid ice. The Pakistanis had left this side of the mountain unguarded because they felt that no one could climb the wall of ice. Once the Gurkhas scaled the wall they were at a higher height than the Pakistanis and had the upper hand.
