the reason for this is that people on this forum think that sourabhee and kapil are not Indian because of their chinky eyes which is a stupid thing to say !!!

I completely agree with you. Some people are so hell bent on throwing as much kichar as possible on Gorkhas that they completely choose to ignore the fact that bot Kapil and Sourabhee are INDIANS.

I don't want India to recruit Nepali Gurkha's into the India Army. We can recruit them from India.

Imagine Obama saying to Indians working in US, go back to your country we will hire Americans only from now on.
Anyhow Indian army is happy recruiting them, Indian govt/people have no problem. Nepal has no problem. And why should you have any problem with them, they are defending our motherland, our borders. Many of them have laid down their lives for us. What you are not realising is the extraordinary relationship between India and Nepal that has been in place since thousands of years.

that i completely agree with..
however, i can't deny that sometimes it is necessary to have the Gurkha's in the Indian Army as they are the first to lay their lives when an attack is on the country, e.g. Kargil and many others.. if someone is protecting a country and is willing to lay his/her life for the country, then wouldn't you call them patriots..?? or would you still call them mercenaries..??

Exactly, If someone (of different nationality) is defending my country and is prepared to lay down his life in the line of duty then I would feel indebted to him for serving my nation...yes he is doing it primarily for money (because he is poor and wants to support his family not because he is greedy)..he is also doing it for honour (read the article I posted).

Only a citizen of a nation can be a true patriot. Therefore, Indian-Gurkha's are patriots who fight for their country. Nepali-Gurkha's, on the other hand, fight and die for money first and therefore are mercenaries.

Who is a true patriot? I think the people who signed Indo-Nepal treaty were not true patriot then, they were probably fools to allow Nepali citizens into Indian Armed Forces. BTW look at this (eligibilty for becoming an officer in Armed forces):

3. Conditions of Eligibility :

(a) Nationality : A candidate must either be :

(i) a citizen of India, or

(ii) a subject of Bhutan, or

(iii) a subject of Nepal, or

(iv) a Tibetan refugee who came over to India before the 1st January, 1962 with the intention of permanently settling in India, or

(v) a person of Indian origin who has migrated from Pakistan, Burma, Sri Lanka and East African Countries of Kenya, Uganda, the United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, Zaire and Ethiopia and Vietnam with the intention of permanently settling in India.

Provided that a candidate belonging to categories (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above shall be a person in whose favour a certificate of eligibility has been issued by the Government of India.

Certificate of eligibility will not, however, be necessary in the case of candidates who are Gorkha subjects of Nepal.


[quote]By the way, it is the Punjabi's who form the backbone of the Indian Armed Forces, and are always first to fight. Out of all the ethnic groups in India, the Punjabi's have sacrificed the most for the nation, and we will continue doing so. We PLAY HARD, WORK HARD, and EAT HARD. That is why we are tall, strong, and fierce warriors who put the fear in our enemies. Enemies lose control of their bowels when they see the Punjabi's advance. [/quote]
One doesn't have to be tall and strong to put fear into enemies....😆
For your info.....

Somewhere in the another posting u indirectly admit that You are Punjabi. Would you like to hear same thing that u said in above posting regarding Ismeet ( I pray peace for his soul and dont wanna drag in this controversy but some moron compelled me to bring him in this discussion) and Punjab army. You can say that since Ishmeet won the VOI, armforce from Punjab would be carrying Microphone in the battlefield. That would be insult to the bravery of the people serving in Indian army.

well said.. 👏 i find it insulting to all those brave men sitting on the border protecting us.. it's a shame some people think like that.. just because one person decides to come and sing (even that is his own personal choice, people should care less, are they not choosing their own careers as well), they drag the whole batallion down.. 🤢

Gurkha's from Nepal don't join the Indian Army because they want to protect India. They do it for one thing and that is MONEY. The money that the Indian Army pays is more than they would get if they joined Nepali Army. In a way, they are mercenaries. The order of preference for the gurkha's are: British Army, Indian Army, and then Nepali Army. From the Highest payer to the Lowest payer.


Never try to demean a soldier.. And why do you feel that serving in armed forces is only for the sake of MONEY.. I belong to a family of defence people and i know people do it for various reasons ranging from family tradition, country's pride et all..but puhhhleez not money.. Do you even know how much risk and danger is there in a soldier's life. Why would somebody do it just for money? There are huge oppurtunities all over india for much safer jobs.. And if you feel armed forces are well paid then that is also utter rubbish..You can be a sales agent and work much more than a army soldier..
