[mkb95]

The first thing what kargil POW captuted by 1/11 GR wants to see the Gurkha Khukhri and to meet the CO Lalit Rai who captured his post and repulsed a counterattack and captured shit load of weapons including Stinger Missiles and equipment for NBC warfare.

His video is on YouTube in which he is saying in "woh Gurkha waley a Gaye hain Peche sey humaare post pey"

Also a famous incident in Afghanistan - In a hand to "hand combat" a Gurkha beheaded a Taliban and took his head to his CO to verify the identity of the Taliban commander.

He was removed from the service but later reinstated.

Khukri Strike at neck is the integral part of their training since World Wars to this day in Indian Army.

Gurkha beheaded a Taliban and took his head to his CO

I agree Gurkha's are good fighters. However when these warriors from Nepal are placed under British officers like General Dwyer then the result is lethal and deadly. The Indian's found out this in 1919 when 379 of them were filled with Gurkha lead. More Indian's would have died if they had tasted the famous Gurkha's Kukri but British temperance prevented the Kukri to slice through the Indian mob.

The hill men from Nepal have proved to be loyal fighters for the British crown for over 200 years. From killing unruly Indian's, to fighting the Japanese or to fighting the Argentinians they have always prevailed. They have without doubt never wavered from their duty to the crown.

Who are they. Well they are recruited Gurungs and Magars from central Nepal, the Rais and Limbus from the east, who live in villages of impoverished hill farmers and resemble Mongol Tibetans in appearance.

They keep to their Nepalese customs and beliefs, and the brigade follows religious festivals such as Dashain, in which - in Nepal, not the UK - goats and buffaloes are sacrificed.

Yeh. They certainly were not thirsty after the Gurkhas had their way with the Indian crowd at Jallianwala Bagh.

I'd take 10 Gurkhas over 100 terrorist rats every day.

100 terrorist rats

Yeh. Do you mean these guy?

On July 22, 1946, Irgun blew up a wing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, killing 91 soldiers and civilians (British, Arab, and Jewish). On April 9, 1947, a group of Irgun commandos raided the Arab village of Dayr Yāsīn (modern Kefar Shaʾul), killing about 100 of its inhabitants.

Great video. I know many ex-servicemen who fought in the Falklands. Several para friends of mine told me of how they and other bayoneted young conscripts in the heart, liver etc. It was pretty much one sided and these young chaps were not prepared for war. RIP to all.

lethal and deadly by firing at hundreds

They made no, I repeat no contribution to my ancestors freedom. My ancestors taught the British and many others before some very good lessons.

Hey did I hit something sore there? You know the "thirsty Kukri" and all that. Son don't start something that you can't finish. Or you might end up with a Kukri up your posterior.

you ungrateful..(add anything u like)

Yeh. Dad.

Even the name Gurkha is derieved from Gorakshanath from present day India. And none of this related to the thread.The point is they are integral part of Indian army and country like Punjabis,Dogras/Rajputs/ SIkhs, South Indians , Nagas etc.

Hard to deny these are some tough dudes.

But the title seems hyperbolic to me. I'd still take US Marines over the Brigade of Gurkhas any day.

Having seen the Marines up close:

It's hard not to be impressed by the balls on these boys.

I dunno, I respect the Gurkhas and have heard glowing reviews of them by the British Army, but the world's most fierce? Seems hard to quanity.

 

[Indus Pakistan]

balls

Is that obtuse referance to the artillery those boys allegedly carry?
