A proposito di questo titolo

Episode 7 of The History of Nepal explores the origins and evolution of the Gurkha soldier, from their fierce resistance during the Anglo-Nepal War (1814-1816) to their celebrated service in the British Indian Army through both World Wars. We trace the Gurkha legacy back to the Gorkha kingdom's expansion under Prithvi Narayan Shah, then examine the pivotal battles of the Anglo-Nepal War, including the siege of Malaun and the defense of Kalanga. The episode delves into the post-war recruitment of Gurkhas into the British East India Company's forces, the establishment of Gurkha regiments, and their iconic kukri knife. We also discuss the cultural ethos of 'lai, raksi, and khukuri' — loyalty, rice wine, and the curved blade — and how the Gurkhas earned a reputation for unwavering bravery at battles like Saragarhi and in the trenches of Flanders. The conversation touches on the controversial Gurkha recruitment policy and the modern legacy of these soldiers in the British and Indian armies.
