Hah not gurhas saved englan from III reich invasion but Polls not gurkhas took Monte Cassino but Polls an not so great britain kikt their allays in nuts as soon as you did'nt nead us ...
how do you know you are from among the hardest men on earth ? when the children are carrying more weight in water then they weigh . And they do it like it is simple. much respect to the Gurkha's and their beautiful and humble culture. I spent 9 month's in Pokhara, Nepal and they were some of the most welcoming people I have ever met.
School Shooter I truly did . The people of Nepal are very welcoming if you are respectful and will give you the shirt right off of their backs. Sadly I had a job most young Nepali boys feared to visit during their central selection, medical officer doing their physical for selection and I had to crush several dreams due to things they could not control . Be blessed my friend and enjoy life to the fullest
Only a ten pound a month hand out yet the man fought in WW2. That's shameful. It seems some of these men were taken advantage of due to the miserable poverty in their countries. England should & can do more for these men & their families who continue to bravely fight & die for Queen & country. These men, especially those who fought in WWII deserve to be free from want. They've earned that right.
My father was in the 1st Ranger Squadron, New Zealand's first SAS squad that went into action. During his SAS career, he specialized in signals, he met and mixed with all the world's country's Special Service and Ops teams and members. Green Berets etc you name it he served alongside them although a lot of dads time was spent behind enemy lines for up to six months at a time, at his funeral his mate said that Dad (Barry) was in his opinion the very best guy to spend 6 months behind enemy lines with, signals were pretty basic and in need of modernizing at that time so apparently the humidity of the jungle featured in buggering up their machines, but they improvised a solution the speaker stated. Dad considered the very best of the best to be the GURKHA soldiers. They were playful smiling assassins and were forever up to mischief with the forces they were in camp with. He laughed that one of their fave ways of 'Having you on' as we call it Downunder, Punking in the USA, and I believe in the UK it is possibly called 'Taking the Piss.' Whatever you call it one of their faves was to tie the shoelaces of the guys on sentry duty and burst into laughter when the unfortunate sentry stumbled as he tried to take a step. Small of stature, and YUGE in the bravery department. It is a popular misconception that a Gurkha knife the KUKRI can only be drawn to cause damage and death and must be accompanied by bloodletting, so if you ask to see his KUKRI he must draw blood from your arm as the price of looking, total BS.
Oh we respect them all right, it is the government that has shat on them for many years. I was appalled to find out that they didn't get a pension if they didn't serve at least 18 years when some lacklustre shite brits would get a preserved pension after 9 years.
Once British people made friendship with us, now we are obliged to help them everytime. It's about loyalty & principle. Please respect my brothers who fight for your land, English friends
We both respect them and we love them. We love them so very much. We are very proud of our Gurkhas. So very very proud. They are the best part of our army, and surely we too feel a strong sense of duty towards Nepal. If Nepal were ever attacked it would have the British army on its side without even asking. We love you all very much. You are our family ☺️🤗💛
lol fu*king these Presky brits are taking our soldiers for their own use and with some low wage . Gurkhas are just cannon fodder for them and you are proud of that? that's why our country is here on garbage because most of fu*king people here are bunch of sheeps and have like 10 iq in total
May I correct your comment, they were employed by the British army, so it's fellow British you should have been saying, and not English, My uncle Tam was in Burma as a Chindit, one night one of these ferocious little devils woke him and gestured him to follow the little chap, into the jungle they crept, there in a small clearing were 5 Jap's laying with throats cut and an officer tied up and unconscious, my uncle asked in a whisper why leave him, to which the Gurkha replied, " A'h sargent when he wake up and see his men he get the same". There always was a bounty on them from the Jap's, but very few locals stayed alive to collect if they were found to be informants. My uncle was awarded many medals, a proud Scot like many others, as the Irish, Welsh, and all those from commonwealth countries like, India, Pacific islanders, etc, etc, you English people did not win either the 1st or 2nd world wars, no that was the Americans,if the Americans had not entered either of those wars, you and I would be using German as our first language, look at how the Bengal Lancers were sent in against the German machine guns in the 1st world war, and the African nations too, read history first please before you spout on about your England...O'h and find out please from where St George is really from before you fly that flag.
The gurkers are held esteem by the older genaration cuase we know and respect you all our fathers fought along side and we are so proud of the gurkers as far as I am concerned the gurkers would be welcome in our country love to all gurkers❤❤❤❤❤
In Nepal and northen parts of India(in small number), Gorkhas live. As an Rajput(Warrior race of Hindu), I can confirm Gorkhas are pride of Hindus even more than Rajputs and Sardars.... Many rajputs accepted islam by fear, many Sikhs become anti hindu.. but Gorkhas Never done anything like them Gorkha : Pride of Hindus
I lived in Fleet, Hampshire, around 1990 and that's where the Gurkhas UK barracks are. I often found myself at somewhere like a supermarket queue with Gurkhas, and their families, and was impressed by the politeness and humility of these tough little guys. I was also in Pokhara, Napal, at that time and came across an ex Gurkha who had used his (very meagre) British army pension to set himself up as a mobile pharmacy, using a bicycle. The question of pension and UK citizenship rights have been a bone of contention for many years but without investigating I believe that situation has improved.
I was in Hong Kong 86-87 at Stanley fort and went to Victoria barracks kawloon side the gurka barracks I was 17 and first impressions last saw them throughout my time in hmf they are legends gentleman can’t praise them enough
Is that the barracks in new territorys ? We used to run from dodwells ridge to the gurkha barracks in battle PT dress and swim in the pool there After the training we spent hours swimming with the guys
These wonderful young men. My dad was in the WW2 he did his bit and didn't say a word about it. When he was in a nursing home near Catterick, the young Ghurkas would come and visit the men and women while they were waiting for their wives who are wonderful carers. They talked to my dad and others, my dad loved their visits.
Proud to have served with these amazing soldiers! They are men of men! I am the young Captain who recruited this batch! A while ago now but nice to see this is still doing the rounds!
At last..... a BBC production that is truthful.......Makes a change...... God Bless the Ghurkas and their history. They deserve a British or Commonwealth citizenship for their integrity and devotion to GB.... not their country of origin. Respect to them all........ (Bow down)...
My father fought in WWII was awarded every medal ,except Medal of Honor,he had so much respect for the Gurkhas,they were so jovial,respectful and dangerous
Thank you for posting this rather very beautiful video. It certainly reminded me of Old barrack of Chruch Crookham. Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you once again!!
A splendid document with which to illustrate these toughest of mountain-men, I have associated with many Gurkhas throughout my career & found them to be, individually & without exception, 'the better man...'
This film makes me cry tears of pride for them, and I am neither British nor Gurkha, but rather a sedentary, over-urbanized, -civilized and -fed American.
I wish British and Gurkhas relationship to be long lasting. We support England and will secure its Royal family and people. Thank you for appreciating our service. Jay Gurkhas Jay England. From Nepal - Namaste 🙏🙏
@@cjyoung4080 their traditional job is to be a guardsman. It is their culture. They are well known in India for this. Nepalis always freely immigrate to India to work as security guards, in fact they are the best at that compared to people of other ethnicities. Nepalis have visa-free access to India.
@@cjyoung4080 Gurkhas are our best soldiers. Britain's best soldiers not our guard dogs!. We love them very much and we are proud of them very much!. Gurkhas are the best part of our army and always will be!. We love them they're dearly loved not guard dogs!!.
If I'm not mistaken my Grandpa fought in Korea as a U.S. soldier and was stationed with some Gorkhas. He said they were the scariest guys he knew, that they would just sneak up on you for fun and act like they were taking you out. He said the greatest part was that you never knew until they striked, they were some of the sneakiest guys he's ever seen. To make an ally that paranoid of you, you can only imagine the fear they put into the enemy.
Wonderful people, we are privileged to have to have them in the British army. We have several Nepalese young people working in our local supermarket and they are the friendliest folk you could wish to meet.
I truly believe that, EVERYONE I talk to that has ever been near to them,or talked with them all say the same thing, they are friendly and very polite !
There's a saying in nepali "nun ko sojho garnu", it means "nun" is salt, salt represents curry, curry represents food.. "sojho" means favour,.. "garnu" means "do it" ,. this gives a simple meaning that whoever gives a job, you have to be faithful to him. it's an old kind of blessing given by mothers to their child, and gurkha follows that....if he is a soldier and there's a war, he does'nt think twice.
Very interesting to see the adjustments the British military has made in how it deals with Gurkhas, taking into account their culture. Great to see thatvempathy and mutual respect. Kudos!🙏🙏🙏
So proud that the Gurkhas choose to serve in the British Army. The selfless service is typified by the son of Latheman Gurun carrying him down the mountain on his back to receive his pension 55:00.....
Before watching this documentary I had read about Gurkhas in my youth. I remember how adept they were with their famous Kukri knives. Having grown up as a 2nd generation American I read much about the Second World War and how proud I am to be an American. I knew beforehand it was difficult to be accepted as a Gurkha recruit but I learned anew just how difficult it truly is.
we are gurkhas ....we are nepalese ....if u dont know about it...once again go back to history from Anglo-Nepal war to still afgan wars.....all gurkhas involved ........gallentry awards from british empire in 1781 , 14 victoria crosses.....n many other too......in 2nd world war ...german general Khaiser william said" i can send my troops to any part of d world but my heart shakes when i hear the name of brave gurkhas"# respect...proud to be gorkhali
@@bonran We never wanted to prove, they are the one who hyped it up. The Britishers are the one who started colonizing, we weren’t scared of them. That’s not a thing to prove, that’s a thing to be known of!
@@bonranno need to prove. If you’re really into these things or if youve mistakely ended up here. Checkout some real facts. Of all the securities near her majesty only the gurkhas were allowed to bring their sword that is the khukuri. Its the trust and relation. Now Nepal has been fd up because of politics and change of congress and communists but trust me when there were kings. It was a diff story. Gurkhas are really respected in the united kingdom unlike some trashhhh.
Gurkhas are brave mercenaries like the Wagner group and shall fight for anyone who pays them. They are good soldiers but without a conscience. More than 1000 unarmed Sikhs peacefully protesting against british colonial rule were massacred by machine gun weilding Gurkha soldiers under orders of Gen Dyer in 1919 at Jallianwalah Bagh. Probably that is the only battle won by Gurkha against Sikhs. As of now gurkha are called bahadur (brave) in Punjab and are much sought as domestic help and watchmen
Those who have fought beside the Gurkhas respect them, those who fought against the Gurkhas fear them and those who know the Gurkhas know they embody that which would be the best of any society.
Fun fact; My grandad ganju lama who got the Victoria cross was not from Nepal he is from India and was born in Sikkim his actual name is Gyatso shangderpa but because Gorkhas was from Nepal he wouldn’t have got a chance to join but he was so romantically mesmerised by a Gorkha he saw when he was a kid led him to change his name and joined Gorkha and was the last like of defence against Japanese tanks in Burma destroying them and killing the surviving people with grenade with only one hand as the other was shot he dispatched the nades by pulling the pin with his mouth. He was shot multiple times but after the war doctors couldn’t find one bullet and years after the war that bullet came out of a boil he got and that bullet is in a museum in Lucknow known as ganju bullet.
I served with Gurkhas in Malaya as did my father in Burma. It is hard to say without sounding trite and patronizing, but in my eyes and those of many other British who served with them, they are the most wonderful, brave, loyal comrades that one could have. They don't think too much about doing something right, they just do it in the best possible way they can because that's the way they are.
I have the greatest respect for these men. I was fortunate enough to stand watches with them in the middle east at a U.S. Navy base during Operation Enduring Freedom (2001-2002). They were armed only with their kukri knives.
There a few gurkhas that went for selection in the SAS.And passed I wouldn't say easier than the brits but showed no fear of death.Where we would give it a 2nd thought and think we might die doing this.The gurkhas just done it without thinking and one or two of the gurkhas used to say what will be will be our death is your life.And I found that pretty amazing and they are the best of the best.And I am bloody glad there on our side and not our enemy....
Met 2 Gurkha's, under their service of the Queen, years ago, perfect proof that all men of honor are of the same race, and welcome under my roof anytime
I lived on the married patch next to Queen Elizabeth's Barracks. Now sadly a housing Est. The Major is very passed over and most of the Officers who end up with The Gurkha Rifles usually are. As for the young men what a pleasure to have them in Fleet. Now things have moved on many of these young men may be drawing their pensions. Joanna Lumley caused chaos and had the rules changed to let former men from 1997 come live in Britain. Great but many were conned in their home Country and came to the UL penniless some seven thousand now in Aldershot where housing is scarce. That means many live in bed and breakfast accommodation. Living on benefits. Many walk around the local towns waiting for they can return to home. However, the Community is fabulous and now at the local hospital we are delighted to benefit from the skills that the trained nurses bring, so much so many wards are named after places in Nepal. Also, many have local security jobs and their kindness shines through.
A salute to our forefathers for their exemplary display of courage, bravery and loyalty. As a modern day Gurkha, I can only thank you and follow your steps. Jay Mahakali, Ayo Gurkhali!!!
My father served alongside them in the Malayan campaign, and from the stories he has told me, everything you hear about them is true. Much respect to them all past and present. And Daniel you can take your retrospective contextually ignorant opinion and do the proverbial...
In Anglo Nepal war..the Nepalese haven't any guns rfile cannon even Nepalese never surrender with British and fight for a Nepal with only khukuri stone and sword
We Gurkha's are really very simple people...we welcomes with open heart ❤️ who ever comes to our country...but when it comes to our own sovereignty...we are the most feared peoples on earth
I agree gurkha are the brave soldiers..but i dont know what sovereignty are u babbling about when in history the Nepali were just a 2nd class soldiers fighting or just a cannon fodder for the British..yr gurkha soldiers life & services only worth Just a few pounds in the eyes of the western brit..for all the land & wealth the gurkhali help the brit to grab & rob from others country's the gurkha are only given a few buck of scrap bones..even today Nepal is still a poor country..fact
Yue fei ....They fought British so Nepal 🇳🇵 was an free country from British ...I mean it was never went under British ....and with Tibet also we won ...due to our bravery that's why BRITISH respect us and include our peoples in to their Army ....but it doesn't mean that second class soldiers...what I mean to day that Nepal never been under British Raj .. or colony ....
I had the opportunity to see Mt Fishtail ( Machapuchhare ) depicted in 1:18 to see from close during my Annapurna Base Camp Trek ❤️ . It was the most beautiful mountain seen by me till date.
My late mother was a rubber tapper during d emergency years in Malaya in 1948. She would tap n collect d latex all on her own . I remember many trees. She would start to tap in d early morning when it was still very dark. My mother n many folks like her who had to tap rubber to feed their families, were always in great fear of communist guerillas out to extort or harm them. Women always feared being raped. She said working alone, it always gave her d greatest sense of safety n security when she saw a slight gurkha soldier with his gun patrolling or standing there. She said she was always confident she would be protected n that he would be an honourable man.

If you are Gurkha....why do you have to prove it to a White people??
@@bonranMoney
@@bonran We never wanted to prove, they are the one who hyped it up. The Britishers are the one who started colonizing, we weren’t scared of them. That’s not a thing to prove, that’s a thing to be known of!
@@bonranno need to prove. If you’re really into these things or if youve mistakely ended up here. Checkout some real facts. Of all the securities near her majesty only the gurkhas were allowed to bring their sword that is the khukuri. Its the trust and relation. Now Nepal has been fd up because of politics and change of congress and communists but trust me when there were kings. It was a diff story. Gurkhas are really respected in the united kingdom unlike some trashhhh.
Gurkhas are brave mercenaries like the Wagner group and shall fight for anyone who pays them. They are good soldiers but without a conscience. More than 1000 unarmed Sikhs peacefully protesting against british colonial rule were massacred by machine gun weilding Gurkha soldiers under orders of Gen Dyer in 1919 at Jallianwalah Bagh. Probably that is the only battle won by Gurkha against Sikhs. As of now gurkha are called bahadur (brave) in Punjab and are much sought as domestic help and watchmen
Fantastic: The greatest group of people I have even or have ever worked with.
I used to work with two ex-gurkhas here in England,nice pie and hard as hell.
I AM PROUD TO GURKHAS SOLDIER THANKS FOR TAKING BIRTH IN NEPAL
Those who have fought beside the Gurkhas respect them, those who fought against the Gurkhas fear them and those who know the Gurkhas know they embody that which would be the best of any society.
man you to are a gurkha .. all the Nepalese are gurkhali not only the one who goto britian or indian army..
Thank you, the people of Nepal are great bunch, God bless them all.
Thank you for your service. From The United States 🇺🇸
Fun fact; My grandad ganju lama who got the Victoria cross was not from Nepal he is from India and was born in Sikkim his actual name is Gyatso shangderpa but because Gorkhas was from Nepal he wouldn’t have got a chance to join but he was so romantically mesmerised by a Gorkha he saw when he was a kid led him to change his name and joined Gorkha and was the last like of defence against Japanese tanks in Burma destroying them and killing the surviving people with grenade with only one hand as the other was shot he dispatched the nades by pulling the pin with his mouth. He was shot multiple times but after the war doctors couldn’t find one bullet and years after the war that bullet came out of a boil he got and that bullet is in a museum in Lucknow known as ganju bullet.
I'm proud to be Nepali and the Gurkhali thanks BBC for makes this documentary..
My pride my gurkha ..my Nepal
3 words Fearless, Disciplined (more than any soldiers Ive come across) and loyal.
Gurkhas and the maoris
Give these guys weapons and they are unstoppable
Respect to them and their proud histories
Glenn Parker A fighting unit made up of 50% Maori battalion and 50% Gurkhas would have been pretty impressive.
Definitely in the top 5 best regiments on the planet, and arguably the best, they taught the British a lot, truly exceptional
the greatest fighers ever !!
small , loyal , respectful too everyone , yet , never ever be their enemy !!
thank god , we got them on our side !
The British claim they won world war 2 bull shit the only war they won was the Falkans killing women and children
"Be strong enough to be kind"
I served with Gurkhas in Malaya as did my father in Burma. It is hard to say without sounding trite and patronizing, but in my eyes and those of many other British who served with them, they are the most wonderful, brave, loyal comrades that one could have. They don't think too much about doing something right, they just do it in the best possible way they can because that's the way they are.
I have the greatest respect for these men. I was fortunate enough to stand watches with them in the middle east at a U.S. Navy base during Operation Enduring Freedom (2001-2002). They were armed only with their kukri knives.
How do you feel about your government sending you off to participate in illegal wars?
Goosebumps to hear my ancestors pride😊😍🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵the great gurkhas
❤❤❤love from j&k
won d victoria cross ...still lives his retired life in hut.. # respect to the britian i salute you britian... great work keep it up
They used gorkha😢
I can’t think of a more respected military unit in the entire world
THANK YOU TO ALL GURKHAS HUGE RESPECT FOR THEM.👏🏼👏🏼🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖
Thank you for your service guys
Amazing Ghurkas, I wish I was a Ghurka.
Hello
Instead you are moron.
If I wan't Irish I might want to be a gurkha. But, since i'm Irish, there is no need.
I wish you were too!
Amazing , I wish I was John Rambo or captain America
There a few gurkhas that went for selection in the SAS.And passed I wouldn't say easier than the brits but showed no fear of death.Where we would give it a 2nd thought and think we might die doing this.The gurkhas just done it without thinking and one or two of the gurkhas used to say what will be will be our death is your life.And I found that pretty amazing and they are the best of the best.And I am bloody glad there on our side and not our enemy....
Met 2 Gurkha's, under their service of the Queen, years ago, perfect proof that all men of honor are of the same race, and welcome under my roof anytime
Well said.
I lived on the married patch next to Queen Elizabeth's Barracks. Now sadly a housing Est. The Major is very passed over and most of the Officers who end up with The Gurkha Rifles usually are. As for the young men what a pleasure to have them in Fleet. Now things have moved on many of these young men may be drawing their pensions. Joanna Lumley caused chaos and had the rules changed to let former men from 1997 come live in Britain. Great but many were conned in their home Country and came to the UL penniless some seven thousand now in Aldershot where housing is scarce. That means many live in bed and breakfast accommodation. Living on benefits. Many walk around the local towns waiting for they can return to home. However, the Community is fabulous and now at the local hospital we are delighted to benefit from the skills that the trained nurses bring, so much so many wards are named after places in Nepal. Also, many have local security jobs and their kindness shines through.
I have such a great respect for the Gurkhas ! ❤
From Suomi Finlandia with love to Gurkhas and nepal
respect from all of my heart
Proud to be Nepali......God bless you all....Amen
You are isai
A salute to our forefathers for their exemplary display of courage, bravery and loyalty. As a modern day Gurkha, I can only thank you and follow your steps.
Jay Mahakali, Ayo Gurkhali!!!

respect the gurkhas..
respect..what an amazing warriors we have !
Proud of these men and i hope Nepal grows so much that these people would choose to stay and serve their land
My father served alongside them in the Malayan campaign, and from the stories he has told me, everything you hear about them is true. Much respect to them all past and present. And Daniel you can take your retrospective contextually ignorant opinion and do the proverbial...
My father did too. (Salutes) Respect xx
"If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or he is a Gurkha." -Sam Manekshaw
Cannon fodders
In Anglo Nepal war..the Nepalese haven't any guns rfile cannon even Nepalese never surrender with British and fight for a Nepal with only khukuri stone and sword
We Gurkha's are really very simple people...we welcomes with open heart ❤️ who ever comes to our country...but when it comes to our own sovereignty...we are the most feared peoples on earth
I agree gurkha are the brave soldiers..but i dont know what sovereignty are u babbling about when in history the Nepali were just a 2nd class soldiers fighting or just a cannon fodder for the British..yr gurkha soldiers life & services only worth Just a few pounds in the eyes of the western brit..for all the land & wealth the gurkhali help the brit to grab & rob from others country's the gurkha are only given a few buck of scrap bones..even today Nepal is still a poor country..fact
Yue fei ....They fought British so Nepal 🇳🇵 was an free country from British ...I mean it was never went under British ....and with Tibet also we won ...due to our bravery that's why BRITISH respect us and include our peoples in to their Army ....but it doesn't mean that second class soldiers...what I mean to day that Nepal never been under British Raj .. or colony ....
And we are family. The love is mutual brother xxx
Excellent. Very educational.
Seeing these golden videos from the past is so interesting
Respect to Gurkha brothers from India..:)

One personality

Brave Gurkha 🎖️
The best most ferocious soldier in the British army is a Gurkha.
I had the opportunity to see Mt Fishtail ( Machapuchhare ) depicted in 1:18 to see from close during my Annapurna Base Camp Trek ❤️ . It was the most beautiful mountain seen by me till date.
My late mother was a rubber tapper during d emergency years in Malaya in 1948. She would tap n collect d latex all on her own . I remember many trees. She would start to tap in d early morning when it was still very dark. My mother n many folks like her who had to tap rubber to feed their families, were always in great fear of communist guerillas out to extort or harm them. Women always feared being raped. She said working alone, it always gave her d greatest sense of safety n security when she saw a slight gurkha soldier with his gun patrolling or standing there. She said she was always confident she would be protected n that he would be an honourable man.
Even Indian army there's Gorkha regiment , many Nepalis are a part of it ✌️ proud of our Gorkha regiment
BLESS THE GURKHAS 😓
Love to all my brothers from Himalayas
wow danger nepali. i proud to be Nepali
I'm half Sherpa, made me glad to see that the Sherpa made it through out of so many.
WHEN YOU ARE STRONG YOU DONT NEED A COUNTRY
COUNTRIES NEED "STRONG MEN" TO KEEP RUNNING
especially weak and insecure ones
Epic. God watch over these great Warriors.
Great fighting unit! It's shocking the way that they have been treated by successive British governments
Awesome documentary. Ty for the upload.
Around 54:00.. That was just heartbreaking, knowing what he had been through ;-;
Mischa
I thought the very same Mischa, but in the final analysis, the old boy was rewarded what was rightfully due....!!
Thank you for posting.
Sergeant is aight
Only 15 years to a Pension is a good deal!
There is enough material here for several really good movies!
I m proud to be gorkha!!
We are proud of you too.
UK is proud of you guys
Gurkhas are literally the coolest people in the world. Even we Russians who dug the White Sea Canal with shovels are not as cool as Gurkhas.
Very interesting to learn more about these amazing men and there history. Many thoughts come to mind.
Happy for laxman.. British govt did a tremendous job. 👍👍
Thank you for posting this.
