And now when you look at the modern gorkha regiments of the Indian army they march so strangely. What happened? They don’t march like riflemen anymore. The same extremely exaggerated marching like the rest of the Indian army.

[@user-nm3by7zm3t]

Because all of the gorkha soldiers were recruited from Nepal in the past and now we don’t recruit anymore .
