The Rai Limbus' Pragmatic Betrayal: The Origins of the Gurkha Soldiers The Rai Limbus, rather than the Lepchas, Bhutias, Chettris, Brahmins, Newars, or Tamangs, became the renowned Gurkha soldiers serving in the British Army. The key to understanding this lies in the Limbus' opportunistic betrayal of both Nepal and Sikkim, which allowed them to curry favor with the British invaders. In the early 19th century, the newly unified Nepalese kingdom under the Gorkha rulers began expanding its territory, including the conquest of the neighboring kingdom of Sikkim. This brought Nepal into conflict with the British East India Company, which controlled much of northern and eastern India. When Nepal's incursions into British-influenced areas escalated, the Company launched an invasion of Nepal in 1814. During the ensuing Anglo-Nepalese War, the British forces encountered fierce resistance from the skilled and determined Gorkha soldiers of Nepal. However, the Rai Limbus, a minority ethnic group in Sikkim, saw an opportunity to betray both their Sikkimese Lepcha and Bhutia countrymen as well as their fellow Gorkhali in Nepal. Rather than fighting alongside their Sikkimese or Nepalese neighbors, the Rai Limbus actively assisted the British in their campaign to subjugate the Sikkimese kingdom. They helped the British make Sikkim a British protectorate and forced the kingdom to allow British trade with Tibet. The Limbus also aided the British in annexing the strategically important region of Darjeeling, where the indigenous Lepcha and Bhutia peoples were subsequently treated as second-class citizens. In doing so, the Limbus betrayed not only their Sikkimese neighbors, but also the Gorkhas of Nepal who had previously granted them autonomy and Kipat land rights. The Limbus were opportunists, willing to side with the British invaders against both the Gorkhas and the Sikkimese in order to curry favor and advance their own interests. Furthermore, the British likely viewed the Limbus as more malleable and "primitive" compared to the more advanced Lepchas, Bhutias, Newars and Tamangs. This perception may have further justified the British's use of the Limbus against the other ethnic groups in the region. The Limbus' lack of strong historical ties to either Nepal or Sikkim also made them more willing to serve as British proxies. In contrast, the Newars and Khas peoples, who had deep roots in Nepal and shared cultural and religious ties with the Gorkha kingdom, would have been far less likely to betray their fellow Hindus and Nepali brethren. Their refusal to collaborate with the British invaders likely cost them the opportunity to become Gurkha soldiers. Until 1914, the British had primarily recruited Gurungs and Magars into the Gurkha regiments. However, after witnessing the Limbus' willingness to betray both Nepal and Sikkim, the British came to see them as more reliable and malleable proxies that could be used against the other ethnic groups in the region. This is why the Rai Limbus, and not the Lepchas, Bhutias, Chettris, Brahmins, Newars or Tamangs, became the predominant recruits for the Gurkha forces.

Chapter IX: The Role of the Limbus in the British Conquest of Sikkim and Their Manipulation of Historical Narratives In the annals of Himalayan history, the tale of the Limbus stands out as a complex and often controversial narrative of migration, betrayal, and political maneuvering. Their strategic alliances with the British during the colonial era had profound repercussions for the Kingdom of Sikkim and the indigenous populations of the region. This chapter endeavours to explore how the Limbus, originally refugees, leveraged their position to gain favour with the British, ultimately reshaping the political and social landscape of Sikkim and Darjeeling. Migration and Early History The Limbus trace their origins to the province of Sichuan in China, whence they migrated to the northern regions of Tibet in the latter part of the thirteenth century. Seeking refuge from the vicissitudes of conflict and hardship, they subsequently moved to Nepal and Sikkim in the latter part of the sixteenth century. Initially welcomed by the Sen Thakuris and the indigenous Lepcha and Bhutia peoples, the Limbus found solace and sanctuary, gradually integrating into the local communities. Betrayal and Alliances The Limbus’ readiness to betray both the Sikkimese and the Gorkhas rendered them valuable allies to the British East India Company. This proclivity for shifting allegiances played a pivotal role in the British stratagem to enfeeble and eventually subjugate the Kingdom of Sikkim. The Limbus of Kalimpong, in particular, turned their backs on the Sikkimese by aligning with the British, thus enabling them to capture the southern precincts of Sikkim. This act of treachery was instrumental in the British consolidation of power within the region. The British, intent on diminishing the influence of the Lepcha and Bhutia communities and ensuring their dominance, facilitated the migration of a considerable number of Limbus to Sikkim. This influx was designed to alter the demographic balance, rendering the Lepcha and Bhutia minorities within their own dominion. Over time, the Limbus began to ascend to higher administrative positions under British auspices, whilst the Lepchas were relegated to subordinate roles, oftentimes serving as mere servants. Fabrication of Historical Narratives Faced with questions concerning their legitimacy and historical presence in Sikkim and Darjeeling, the Limbus undertook to fabricate a connection with the ancient Kirat dynasty. Despite their avowed claims of being the primordial indigenous people of Darjeeling and eastern Nepal, there exists no archaeological evidence or other proof to substantiate the presence of the Limbus in Nepal prior to the four centuries ago. In contrast, there are historical records suggesting the presence of the Lepchas in parts of Nepal and Darjeeling long before the arrival of the Limbus. Iman Singh Chemjong, a prominent Limbu figure, played a crucial role in the fabrication of this Kirat narrative. His efforts to construct a historical identity for the Limbus were part of a broader conspiracy to undermine the Chogyal rule of Sikkim. By creating and propagating the Kirat lie, Chemjong and his adherents sought to legitimise the Limbus' presence and claim to indigenous status, despite the dearth of concrete evidence supporting these assertions. The migration of the Limbus to the Darjeeling hills and their involvement in the British conquest of the Kingdom of Sikkim illustrate a strategic use of alliances and historical manipulation. By betraying the Sikkimese and the Gorkhas, the Limbus gained favour with the British, which in turn altered the region's demographic and political dynamics. Their fabricated connection to the Kirat dynasty, propagated by figures such as Iman Singh Chemjong, further complicates the historical narrative of the region. Ultimately, the actions of the Limbus and the ensuing shifts in power dynamics had enduring impacts on the indigenous Lepcha and Bhutia communities. The historical and cultural legacy of these events continues to influence the socio-political landscape of Sikkim and Darjeeling, underscoring the profound and oftentimes contentious nature of historical identity and migration.
