So Who Are Gurkhas??
"It's better to die than be a coward" is the motto of the world-famous Nepalese Gurkha soldiers who are an integral part of the British Army for 200 years.Beaten back by the Gurkhas in the 19th century Anglo-Nepalese War and admired for their valor and fighting skills, the colonial British then began to recruit them. Since then Gurkhas has fought many wars including both world wars and recently in Iraq and Afghanistan and has gained reputation of being the world's fiercest fighters.
