The Gurkhas – A True Story is a complete book for, to and by a Gurkha. It covers their story from the start to the very present. The book not only documents the Gurkhas’ history but also their influence in the community and the nation as a whole.
Immersed in a 200-year-old history, the Gurkhas is an institution and are known to be the bravest of the braves.
The Gurkhas fought in many countries like Malaysia, Singapore, Borneo, East Timor, Hong Kong, Cyprus, the Falklands, Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo for the British. Their famous kukri had no peers in both WWI and WWII, and they are probably the only such force in the world that had won wars by name alone.
An institution that lasted for more than two centuries cannot survive by bravery alone. Outside factors such as political, social, religious, racial, and traditional affected their community. Their inherited virtues such as loyalty, devotion, tenacity, hardworking, adaptability as well as being able to face difficulty with a smile made them tough from the inside. Above all, their upbringing taught them to respect their elders and their masters who made them into a perfect soldier.
