In 1815, the British Army attempted to overcome Nepal. Be that as it may, it was effectively crushed by Nepal's warriors: the Gurkhas. So the British officers chose that, on the off chance that they couldn't beat them, they'd get the Gurkhas to go along with them. A peace understanding stopped all British success in Nepal, and the Gurkhas consented to be enrolled into the Crown's military. The Gurkhas have battled in a few wars, including both world wars and the Falklands War. Known as the absolute most talented and fiercest warriors on the planet, the Gurkhas have awed (and unnerved) everybody around them. On the 200th commemoration of their administration.

Why Gurkhali serve india army ?
Since the autonomy of India in 1947, according to the terms of the Britain–India–Nepal Tripartite Agreement, six Gorkha regiments, some time ago piece of the British Indian Army, turned out to be a piece of the Indian Army and have served from that point forward. The troops are ethnic Nepali Gurkhas of Nepal and ethnic Nepali-Indian Gorkhas of India.
Following India's independence, India, Nepal and Great Britain signed a Tripartite Agreement, and of the total of 10 Gorkha regiments in the British Indian Army, six (1 Gorkha Rifles, 3 Gorkha Rifles, 4 Gorkha Rifles, 5 Gorkha Rifles (Frontier Force), 8 Gorkha Rifles and 9 Gorkha Rifles) joined the Indian Army. In 1950, when India became a republic, the "Royal" title was dropped from the name of 5 Gorkha Rifles (Frontier Force).After India’s Independence, six regiments, the 1 GR, 3 GR, 4 GR, 5 GR, 8 GR and 9 GR were retained in the Indian Army, while 2nd, 6th, 7th and 10th joined the
Brigade of Gurkhas in the British Army.
Currently there are 39 battalions serving in 7 Gorkha regiments in the Indian Army. Six regiments were transferred from the British Indian Army, while one was formed after independence :
- 1 Gorkha Rifles - 6 battalions (previously 1st King George V's Own Gurkha Rifles (The Malaun Regiment))
- 3 Gorkha Rifles - 5 battalions (previously 3rd Queen Alexandra's Own Gurkha Rifles)
- 4 Gorkha Rifles - 5 battalions (previously 4th Prince of Wales's Own Gurkha Rifles)
- 5 Gorkha Rifles - 5 Gorkha Rifles (Frontier Force) 6 battalions (previously 5th Royal Gurkha Rifles (Frontier Force))
- 8 Gorkha Rifles - 6 battalions
- 9 Gorkha Rifles - 6 battalions
- 11 Gorkha Rifles - 7 battalions and one TA battalion (107 Inf Bn (11GR) (raised after the independence of India).
- The individual Gorkha rifle regiments of India are collectively known for regimental purposes as the 'Gorkha Brigade' between themselves and are not to be confused with the Brigade of Gurkhas of the British Army.
The most impressive facts about the Gurkha soldiers is their dedication and fearlessness. They believe that death is a better option compared to living the life of a coward and hence they take on any number of enemies with great courage without thinking about the harm it can bring back to them. These brave soldiers are mostly deployed in the Eastern Sector and they do their duty and are an essential part of the defense squad of the country. India and all its citizens are proud of the Gurkha regiment of the Indian army for what they have done a great service to the nation.
*In the kargil war, the 1/11 Gorkha rifles was one of the first battalions to be sent into the enemy occupied area, and they evicted every intruder from the batalik sector, and cleansed that sector against heavy odds. One young captain (Manoj Kumar pandey) earned the param vir chakra for his bravery. Today the gorkhas still wander batalik, Batalik still flies the tricolor, and all the "brave" Pakistani armymen/mujahideens/whatevers are nowhere to be seen.
Whenever Pakistan tries to create trouble in the Himalayas, the gorkhas are the first choice to do the needful.
*Gorkhali army is first line of defense.
*Most people die in india - pakistan is Gorkhali army.
*No wonder the Gurkhas are famed for their resilience, self-restraint and courage.
*If there was a minute's silence for every one of the 23,000 Gurkha casualties from World War II, the nation would have to fall quiet for a full fortnight.
*India recruits 40% gurkhas from Nepal and 60% Gurkhas from India. India is a home of around 10 million gurkhas itself.
*Nepalese will never betray, whatever may be the circumstances. If by chance, there happens to be the war with any of those countries, they will quit, come back to Nepal and then fight; but they will never betray.
