    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.

      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. Just be thankful the Nepalese and its' Ghurka tribes were peace loving enough not to think of going to conquer other lands in the past, despite their considerable battle prowess.

    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 met a Pakistani kargil veteran once. he had no respect for the regular Indian soldier calling them all cowards and drunkards yet he praised the gurkha with the greatest regard and the sikhs as well. 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.

    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 can tell you as a retired Sailor. Never in all of my 20 years of serving was I ever treated with this level of respect. Not even at MEPS, pre enlightenment. Screaming, barking, “get your ass over here”, “hurry up, sit down, stand up”, ect...

Im grateful for him because if he wasnt my father then we wouldnt have been able to come to england and essentially our lives would be pretty difficult if we stayed in nepal. And my future would probably be out in the mountains, tending to livestock or something.
    Id say my dad had a pretty difficult life, having survived cancer and tb but now he lives a pretty good life. Due to his back pains and other issues he doesnt work and is a stay at home husband while my mom works but he hardly ever stays still, always going out on walks and such. It makes me wonder if he misses being a Gurkha since he sometimes mumble some Gurkha phrases.

    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.

    It is amazing to see how tradition in all the testing remains the same...over a hundred years! It is still such an honour for them to serve. Hearts of lions. Amazing group of boys. Amazing dedication. I believe if they fight for your country (England) they should have dual citizenship. Period. I think they should have a regiment in the Canadian Army as well for them to come to Canada. I felt so sad for those who had come so far and didn't make it.

      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.

    My American and Canadian friends even those who have served in the elite services tell me, "The Gurka soldiers are badass and as soldiers, they have own ultimate respect". Jai Hind.

    My best friend is a Nepali and he was the first to tell me about these great warriors and I was embarrassed I didn't know of them before then. That was 25 years ago and I always have a great admiration when it comes to the Gurkhas. Semper Fi
