Both have the same root of Shakti (power) from the feminine form called Maa Kaali. No comparison. Another fact is Gurkha don't sweat, they don't speak ill about anything, they're very friendly unless you meet them in war. In War Gurkha becomes Gurkhali and you run, odds and calculation is pointless, Gurkhali don't fight till death... They fight untill enemy is dead.
War dance yes, but in this sense it is a match of wairua and mauri. Look both these terms up. And we have many haka not for just war but for support, welcoming, celebrating, mourning and much more. This is welcoming and supporting their identity in which they rightfully stand in. We always acknowledge others as it is in our first law of Maori, Tikanga.
Of the 2 warrior Cries, I guess the Gurkhas have a more blood curdling sound PLUS have a huge tally of medals in all battles including the Victoria Cross.

Wondering why the NZ rupert leading the gurkhas said Jai Kaali instead of Jai MAHA-kaali? TRUE LEGENDS - Just a few years ago , on a train in India, a Gurkha Officer (off duty) protected the honour of a teenage gal against 40 bandits -" Officer Bishnu Shrestha" told the Times of India, "I am a soldier and get paid to protect citizens of this country. I could not sit back and watch as passengers were looted. I pulled out my khukuri and attacked the criminals. I succeeded in connecting with at least three of them. The blows were severe and they must have got themselves admitted to some hospital. By then, the criminals started fighting back. They fired a shot that missed me. At one point of time, the khukuri fell from my hand and I was overpowered. They picked it up and used it on me."

Thank You for your service sir and all of the other brave Gurkha warriors who have fought alongside our forces for many years. Plus I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to all of those that had to fight for the right to retire and live in Britain and receive equal pay after giving loyal and courageous service to the Crown. You have my total respect sir
I think it's "Gorkhas".Serving in British army doesn't mean you call yourself what they want to.Im pretty sure you know why they say Gurkha?? Not Gorkhas so lets be ourselves.
My dad, long gone now, was once invited to join in a haka when it became known that he had been a soldier. From his time in the army he also served alongside Ghurkas and had huge respect for them. The best of yhe best on both sides I'd say.
Hi there from Texas, USA! I had no idea NZ had such enchanting maneuvers! This was eye opening and inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing your impressive skills with us! May your countrymen continue to grow in the knowledge that they are well protected and defended by dedicated warriors such as this!
As a young boy in the 60’s and 70’s, I was told many stories of Gurkhas. WW 2 veterans were in their 40’s then. Some recalled seeing German soldiers helmets and heads split. Some were jumped in the dark from behind with the knife to their throat while the silent Gurkha felt their helmet to identify them. Immediately the Gurkha would release them and just disappear without a word or sound. They were very highly regarded by those who saw them fight. Or mostly just dead Germans.
A Japanese officer wrote in his diary, that after a good night's sleep, he awoke to a quiet camp. He went outside to see what his men were doing. Their heads were stacked, neatly, in a pile...
@@killerkane1957 my father's regiment, Royal Sussex, fought alongside the Gurkhas in WW2. He said they would check your boots to double check who you were. Germans and Brits laced them differently! He always gave them his highest praise of, "they were good soldiers".
This exact thing happened to my great uncle. They were always told to sleep with their helmet on to identify themselves as friendlies. One night he woke up with a hand clasped over his mouth and a kukri to his throat. Thankfully they felt the helmet, gave him a pat on the chest and told him to go back to sleep as they moved off silently.
I never got to work with The Gurkhas in my day, but the kiwis are some of the best field soldiers I've ever seen. The Gurkhas definitely seem to share the same spirit as Ngāti Tūmatauenga. I hope they enjoy their time with RNZINF as much as I did.
My greatest thanks to all ANZAC & British military who sailed and flown to protect Malaya from Japanese aggresion and then gave their life to defend a young country named Malaysia from Philippines & Indonesia attacks during "Confrontation 63-66" and also help us to end the communist insurgency 1960-1989... Your service to my country shall not be forget..Thanks and salute..
My father, a very fit Scot (RAOC), was attached to the Gurkhas in the 1950's, went to his grave with kukris tattooed on his arms. Promoted twice , busted twice. Very proud of my father that he would refuse a medal of the British state but was proud to serve alongside Gurkhas.
My uncle served in Malaysia from 1955 onwards and was eventually apart of the Australian soldiers who fought alongside you Malaysian and the British soldiers. He actually made a long life penpal with a Malaysian soldier who my uncle met during the first week of fighting, they met because my uncle broke his hand and couldn't light his cigarette, let alone roll a cigarette, and this Malaysian soldier introduced himself and handed my uncle a pack of cigarettes and lit a cigarette for him and said "this smoke easy for you, you need rolled smoke, this gift for you" and bam, they become friends and eventually a couple years later when the conflicts were over and Malaysia was safe, my uncle had to leave and they decided to write to each other. The Malaysian soldier learnt how to write English, and learnt much about Australia over the years and my uncle learnt much about Malayscur and Asian culture compared to my uncles anglo Australian culture. They wrote to one another up until 2008 when the Malaysian gentleman passed away.. my uncle and auntie flew over that week and attended his funeral and met his entire family. We here love you Malaysians.. Thank you for also being such good friends over the years. Greetings from Australia
What a fusion... Huge respect... A legendary of all times, Former Chief of Army Staff of the Indian Army, Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw who himself was a part of Indian Gurkha regiment once said "If man says he is not afraid of dying, He is either lying or he is a Gurkha."
Just 3 words to describe that video absolutely spine tingling. If they fought each other it would be a textbook example of the irresistible force meting the immovable object, which one would budge first.
Two of the fiercest,well respected set of warriors who drive fear in the hearts of their enemies welcoming each other in their own traditional way is a sight to behold, Thank you NZ for such a wonderful day ❤❤❤❤
The british couldnt conquer their lands and people, maybe if they wanted to lose a lot more soldiers but in the end decided its better to work with them than fight them haha
The haka is amazing & I love especially watching the all blacks before a match. The Gurkha are on another level. They’re highly trained soldiers & anyone threatening who saw that would run a mile if they had any sense. What a great display of cultural behaviour & mutual respect. 😊 My dad fought alongside the Gurkha in the early ‘50’s & would always say they are the best & if a Gurkha was beside you in battle you were ok. He had the utmost respect for them.
The Art of Violence! The revered weapons, the sound of chaos, the blood, life and death dancing in unison! Goddess Kali rejoicing in the bosoms of Heaven tormenting Satan herself. Two of the most noble tribes of warriors! A sight to behold!
When two tribes go to war (FGTH) against these two, prepare to meet your maker. God bless our NZDF, Gurkha and all of citizens, serving personnel and our friends globally!
Wow.... alwys loved and mesmerised by the Moari culture... I am so glad to watch our GORKHA community n Moaris blending their warrior spirit n energy .... its power packed.... Jai Ma kali....ayo ayo Gorkhali❤❤
Thank heavens we now have a commentator who uses the correct nomenclature for the most fierce and determined warriors in the world - "Gorkha", as opposed to the Anglo-Saxon aberration "Gurkha". The Gorkhas from Nepal have always fought to protect their Hindu brethren in India from our common enemies.
When I was marching in Anzac Day in Sydney, Australia 2015, with my Dad. My uncle Master Rastra Rai redesigned the Khukuri and called it G200. Gurkha has been serving in the British Army since 1815. 2015 was 200 yrs of celebration and 100 yrs of Anzac Day. I am very proud to be Australian with Nepalese 🇳🇵 heritage. Jaya Gurkha.
Those kukri knives were originally a multiuse utility knife for every household use you can think of. Then someone figured out they work real good on necks.
I chose to enlist in the U.S. Marine for among other reasons their emphasis on their history and warrior culture. Watching these two different modern warrior cultures reaching further back in time than my nation has existed gives me literal chills.
Second group, Ghorka (?) are very direct and fearsome, as a group should be in actual battle. The first group, Hakka (?), seems to be an effective “pre-battle” performance meant to get “the troops” fired up. Essential in both respects.
Men that are Warriors telling the other side “ this is what we bring !! This is what you will get fighting us !! We have no FEAR and will best you !! Are you sure you want to do this ?!?!?!? “ … I get GOOSEBUMPS every time I watch and hear a Haka !!!! … from 🇨🇦 … MUCH RESPECT !!! 💯❤️🤙🙏
My highest possible respect for both of these world-renowned fighting forces, each in their own operational environs being second to none! This US Navy veteran renders his heartfelt salute to both of these amazing warrior units - the historical records of their accomplishments are truly the stuff of legend. May the great creator watch over you all throughout your years of service to your separate nations, and in your calaborative efforts together!
As a Kiwi 🥝 PROUD of Our Armed Forces And HAKA As non military and Maori I hope the National government protects and honours THE TREATY The Maori soldiers in the 2nd World War had heavy losses fighting for 🇳🇿🇳🇿. now it is time to support and fight for the Maori people 🇳🇿and Honour the treaty KIWI 🇳🇿🇳🇿patriot 🇳🇿💪🇳🇿
As someone from the US, I would be in trouble if I participated in most Native American traditions (with rare exceptions that may be allowable by invitation). I notice in NZ that there is more participation in Māori traditions like the haka by people that may not have Māori ancestry. Could you explain the difference for someone not from NZ?
@@ricklee5802official.1Rope_fan In the US, my lack of tribal ancestry would generally exclude me from participation in Native American activities (barring an invitation). Something seems to have turned out differently in New Zealand, where born Kiwis of any ancestry are allowed to perform the haka. I am curious as to what it is in NZ that happened differently than in the US.
@@nerysghemor5781I guess New Zealand as a whole are more passionate about the Maori culture as it has been integrated throughout our daily lives, you won’t go a day without seeing Te Reo Māori or anything that portrays it. Even if you aren’t Māori by blood, being with the same family/friends who are allows you to participate in the haka or other cultural activities (you can still perform it without Maori kin).
Me a Nepali, found this video where ‘Gorkhali’ is written wrongly on video’s title. On behalf of Nepal, I would like to request for correction to prevent misconceptions in future. Thank you.
The germans feared the Maoris cause the won't die and had fearce fighting capability. Erwin Rommel once said "Give me a battalion of Maori soldiers and I will rule the world" The Japanese feared the gurkas cause they fought and used unexpected techniques that the Japanese couldn't use. Lachhiman Gurung fought with 2 others against 200 Japanese soldiers his fellow soldiers were injured and couldn't fight Lachhiman had lost all his fingers on his right hand and held the line with one arm and dared the Japanese to fight him. "Come and fight a Gurkha"
It was also field marshal rommel driver in north africa when he was a general who kept gurkha knife kukari as souviner. Hitler nicknamed for gurkha was black devil. Germany also send mercedez benz to nepal through enemy british india. And that car was carried to nepal as nepal didnot have road. They wanted gurkha to ally with them. With the quote if i have gurkha on my sidw i will conquer wntire europe or something similar,. The car fro. Germany to nepal proves of the somewhat birbe they offerd in form of gifts.
The germans feared the gurkhas n wanted them in their side, gurkhas were already aligned with britain. The quote u said was said for the gurkhas by hitler himself.
That was an amazing and beautiful display of critical historical warrior cultures. It actually brought a tear my eye, it fills my heart with hope that warriors still walk this realm.
@@SuperSpring09Nobody destroyed them. The politicians are trying to shackle them to appease the woke idiots but when the warriors let loose, God help the woke brigade. They’ll be running home to mummy.
@@SuperSpring09gurkha have never been destroyed or conquerd by another. All who invaded their land took refuge in nepal. Even the great sikh empire her highness took refuge in nepal. Even martha leader nana shaib ( only son of the last peshwa baji rao) took refuge in nepal. Nepal is very influencial land od the himalaya. India and pakistan had univeristy such as takshila and nalanda but that knowlege came from this land they didnot spoke in sanskrit but in pali language. The same land of nepal feom which ramayan camw to south from valmiki ashram of nepal. The same hinalyan land of nepal which has rishi vashsita ashram who gave righ vedh and this particular knowlge is so old that oldest evidence of sanskrit word comes from this book. Himalayan kingdome of nepal is iconic for their their knowledge. No forigner have ever defeated this himalyan land but great empire of north and south have established friendship with the kingdome of nepal. Such as ashoka daughter was married to nepali prince.the circle symbol of indian flag. As well as the tibetean king who even conquerd china his wife was nepali princess ( the spread of budhism in tibet). The pagoda style arcticture of asia came from nepal architect arnaniko that even kublia khan ( decendnt of gengis khan) admired. Many of china imcredible building is inspired by this architect as well as some. Of his work still stand in china. Pagoda style is seen all over asia korea,japan, thailand. There is alot to offer. The gukrhahave been admired hy their enemy reason some have clapped and cheerd for gurkha soilder than to shoot at them like the statement of vc in kulbir thapa.
The enemy would be wise to turn back. The British brought Gurkha peoples to Myanmar before WW2 and we still have Gurkha villages in Myanmar. The Gurkha fighters heavily influenced the Myanmar traditional martial arts called Bando that we adopted the Kukri knife fighting as part of the Bando martial art.
I could be wrong but if I'm not mistaken there is an old Gurkha tradition that essentially says if you draw your kukri it must see blood either the enemies or your own. Again I could be wrong.

I am always fascinated by these. Sadly, I could never imagine one of our military units here in the United States ever learning, let alone performing, a native/first people's ritual from one of our many indigenous cultures.
Greater Nepal…Originally GORKHA worship female goddess Mahakali as well as Gorakhnath Baba and sacrifice water buffalo with khukuri in one shot.It’s not just weapon it’s a tradition and culture.It’s a tribal mindset which a lot of people will struggle to understand.
Impressive! Although, as I listened to the war chants, I was reminded of something my grandfather told me from WW2. His Bomber Captain tried to explain to a Maori (in pigeon English and pantomime, with sound effects) why the plane was crashed in their hunting grounds. The Maori responded... "My dear, Man! What in God's Name are you trying to tell us?"
The khukuri is the traditional blade for Nepali , the blade is being used for every other task but once the Nepali is on battlefield with the khukuri the custom is once it’s withdrawn from the sheath it demands blood so you can’t put it back until it’s demand is being fulfilled !

Both with proud warrior traditions. Nice to see they are on the same side. God have mercy on anyone who isn't.
Always good to see our Gurkha brothers in New Zealand.
I come from the Gurkhas. Salute the Kiwis too. Aayo Gurkha
Thank You for your service sir and all of the other brave Gurkha warriors who have fought alongside our forces for many years.
Plus I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to all of those that had to fight for the right to retire and live in Britain and receive equal pay after giving loyal and courageous service to the Crown. You have my total respect sir
Kia kaha! 🥰
Jai maaaKaaali Aayo Gurkhali
I think it's "Gorkhas".Serving in British army doesn't mean you call yourself what they want to.Im pretty sure you know why they say Gurkha?? Not Gorkhas so lets be ourselves.
@@atraveller4198 in the native language it is called Gorkha , the brits say Gurkha . Both are Nepalese.
Had the privilege of exercising with the Ghurkha on Ex Southern Safari 1979 .
.. awesome experience & a great bunch of soldiers
My dad, long gone now, was once invited to join in a haka when it became known that he had been a soldier. From his time in the army he also served alongside Ghurkas and had huge respect for them. The best of yhe best on both sides I'd say.
Hi there from Texas, USA! I had no idea NZ had such enchanting maneuvers! This was eye opening and inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing your impressive skills with us! May your countrymen continue to grow in the knowledge that they are well protected and defended by dedicated warriors such as this!
As a young boy in the 60’s and 70’s, I was told many stories of Gurkhas. WW 2 veterans were in their 40’s then. Some recalled seeing German soldiers helmets and heads split. Some were jumped in the dark from behind with the knife to their throat while the silent Gurkha felt their helmet to identify them. Immediately the Gurkha would release them and just disappear without a word or sound. They were very highly regarded by those who saw them fight. Or mostly just dead Germans.
A Japanese officer wrote in his diary, that after a good night's sleep, he awoke to a quiet camp.
He went outside to see what his men were doing.
Their heads were stacked, neatly, in a pile...
@@killerkane1957 my father's regiment, Royal Sussex, fought alongside the Gurkhas in WW2. He said they would check your boots to double check who you were. Germans and Brits laced them differently! He always gave them his highest praise of, "they were good soldiers".
@@patrickkenyon2326 Very correct....Its 100% correct
@@patrickkenyon2326 nice fairy tale.
This exact thing happened to my great uncle. They were always told to sleep with their helmet on to identify themselves as friendlies. One night he woke up with a hand clasped over his mouth and a kukri to his throat. Thankfully they felt the helmet, gave him a pat on the chest and told him to go back to sleep as they moved off silently.
Respect to the Gurkha brothers
I never got to work with The Gurkhas in my day, but the kiwis are some of the best field soldiers I've ever seen. The Gurkhas definitely seem to share the same spirit as Ngāti Tūmatauenga. I hope they enjoy their time with RNZINF as much as I did.
I did and we never had to do silly buggers like this .....
@@johnlamond4463haha…, your age is showing.
My goodness ! That was impressive. I’m glad they’re both on our side, serious respect for both regiments.
Proud to be a Gorkhali generation. Hello from Australia.
Love from Bharat, brother❤❤
My greatest thanks to all ANZAC & British military who sailed and flown to protect Malaya from Japanese aggresion and then gave their life to defend a young country named Malaysia from Philippines & Indonesia attacks during "Confrontation 63-66" and also help us to end the communist insurgency 1960-1989...
Your service to my country shall not be forget..Thanks and salute..
My father, a very fit Scot (RAOC), was attached to the Gurkhas in the 1950's, went to his grave with kukris tattooed on his arms. Promoted twice , busted twice. Very proud of my father that he would refuse a medal of the British state but was proud to serve alongside Gurkhas.
My uncle served in Malaysia from 1955 onwards and was eventually apart of the Australian soldiers who fought alongside you Malaysian and the British soldiers.
He actually made a long life penpal with a Malaysian soldier who my uncle met during the first week of fighting, they met because my uncle broke his hand and couldn't light his cigarette, let alone roll a cigarette, and this Malaysian soldier introduced himself and handed my uncle a pack of cigarettes and lit a cigarette for him and said "this smoke easy for you, you need rolled smoke, this gift for you" and bam, they become friends and eventually a couple years later when the conflicts were over and Malaysia was safe, my uncle had to leave and they decided to write to each other.
The Malaysian soldier learnt how to write English, and learnt much about Australia over the years and my uncle learnt much about Malayscur and Asian culture compared to my uncles anglo Australian culture. They wrote to one another up until 2008 when the Malaysian gentleman passed away.. my uncle and auntie flew over that week and attended his funeral and met his entire family.
We here love you Malaysians.. Thank you for also being such good friends over the years. Greetings from Australia

Far out the gurkha kukri war cry is scary asf you can see the blood lust and passion ....
Worked with the Gurkhas. Nicest guys ever.
What a fusion... Huge respect... A legendary of all times, Former Chief of Army Staff of the Indian Army, Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw who himself was a part of Indian Gurkha regiment once said "If man says he is not afraid of dying, He is either lying or he is a Gurkha."
He is Indian fam not Gurkha u bullshit
It's amazing watching this! Heartwarming to see that different cultures can be celebrated by EVERYONE!
Just 3 words to describe that video absolutely spine tingling. If they fought each other it would be a textbook example of the irresistible force meting the immovable object, which one would budge first.
Two of the fiercest,well respected set of warriors who drive fear in the hearts of their enemies welcoming each other in their own traditional way is a sight to behold,
Thank you NZ for such a wonderful day ❤❤❤❤
The Gurkha are one of those ppl who was so fierce that Britain recruited them to serve in there army
The british couldnt conquer their lands and people, maybe if they wanted to lose a lot more soldiers but in the end decided its better to work with them than fight them haha
It was the threat of the Gurkhas that forced the surrender of Argentina in the Falklands War 1982
The haka is amazing & I love especially watching the all blacks before a match.
The Gurkha are on another level. They’re highly trained soldiers & anyone threatening who saw that would run a mile if they had any sense. What a great display of cultural behaviour & mutual respect. 😊
My dad fought alongside the Gurkha in the early ‘50’s & would always say they are the best & if a Gurkha was beside you in battle you were ok. He had the utmost respect for them.
Hearing haka makes the soldiers encouraged .
Hearing Kukri call scares enemies.😅
Thats not even a gurkha war cry ,, imagine in the battle field !!!
@@sumankarki6952and that haka isnt a war cry that's literally how welcome people.
The Art of Violence! The revered weapons, the sound of chaos, the blood, life and death dancing in unison! Goddess Kali rejoicing in the bosoms of Heaven tormenting Satan herself. Two of the most noble tribes of warriors! A sight to behold!

Wow.... alwys loved and mesmerised by the Moari culture... I am so glad to watch our GORKHA community n Moaris blending their warrior spirit n energy .... its power packed....
Jai Ma kali....ayo ayo Gorkhali❤❤
Thank heavens we now have a commentator who uses the correct nomenclature for the most fierce and determined warriors in the world - "Gorkha", as opposed to the Anglo-Saxon aberration "Gurkha". The Gorkhas from Nepal have always fought to protect their Hindu brethren in India from our common enemies.
@@JayBhattacharjee Yea but they said "Moari" twice
When I was marching in Anzac Day in Sydney, Australia 2015, with my Dad. My uncle Master Rastra Rai redesigned the Khukuri and called it G200. Gurkha has been serving in the British Army since 1815. 2015 was 200 yrs of celebration and 100 yrs of Anzac Day. I am very proud to be Australian with Nepalese 🇳🇵 heritage. Jaya Gurkha.
Man combination of haka and khukuri drill is a fooking another level of enrgy.
There is no way you can stand before these guys!!
Those kukri knives were originally a multiuse utility knife for every household use you can think of. Then someone figured out they work real good on necks.
I chose to enlist in the U.S. Marine for among other reasons their emphasis on their history and warrior culture. Watching these two different modern warrior cultures reaching further back in time than my nation has existed gives me literal chills.
Incredibly moving. Powerful. Two warrior brotherhoods meet..Nau mai haere mai nga parata o Nga Gurkha
Second group, Ghorka (?) are very direct and fearsome, as a group should be in actual battle. The first group, Hakka (?), seems to be an effective “pre-battle” performance meant to get “the troops” fired up. Essential in both respects.
Men that are Warriors telling the other side “ this is what we bring !! This is what you will get fighting us !! We have no FEAR and will best you !! Are you sure you want to do this ?!?!?!? “ … I get GOOSEBUMPS every time I watch and hear a Haka !!!! … from 🇨🇦 … MUCH RESPECT !!! 💯❤️🤙🙏
My highest possible respect for both of these world-renowned fighting forces, each in their own operational environs being second to none!
This US Navy veteran renders his heartfelt salute to both of these amazing warrior units - the historical records of their accomplishments are truly the stuff of legend. May the great creator watch over you all throughout your years of service to your separate nations, and in your calaborative efforts together!
Then the American Samoan soldiers march by singing about how tough it is being married.
😂

That's because the Samoan women are bigger than the men incredible people and extremely humble also 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Respect from an Aussie digger to our cousins across the sea. ANZACS FOREVER.
As someone from the US, I would be in trouble if I participated in most Native American traditions (with rare exceptions that may be allowable by invitation). I notice in NZ that there is more participation in Māori traditions like the haka by people that may not have Māori ancestry. Could you explain the difference for someone not from NZ?
@@nerysghemor5781 a born Kiwi (a person from New Zealand) can perform the Haka. As an Aussie i could not.
@@ricklee5802official.1Rope_fan In the US, my lack of tribal ancestry would generally exclude me from participation in Native American activities (barring an invitation). Something seems to have turned out differently in New Zealand, where born Kiwis of any ancestry are allowed to perform the haka. I am curious as to what it is in NZ that happened differently than in the US.
@@nerysghemor5781I guess New Zealand as a whole are more passionate about the Maori culture as it has been integrated throughout our daily lives, you won’t go a day without seeing Te Reo Māori or anything that portrays it. Even if you aren’t Māori by blood, being with the same family/friends who are allows you to participate in the haka or other cultural activities (you can still perform it without Maori kin).
God bless both these mighty warrior culture. Salute from a former American soldier. 🫡
Damn that was intense display from gurkha.
Me a Nepali, found this video where ‘Gorkhali’ is written wrongly on video’s title. On behalf of Nepal, I would like to request for correction to prevent misconceptions in future.
Thank you.
Both units are terrifyingly fierce.
The germans feared the Maoris cause the won't die and had fearce fighting capability.
Erwin Rommel once said "Give me a battalion of Maori soldiers and I will rule the world"
The Japanese feared the gurkas cause they fought and used unexpected techniques that the Japanese couldn't use.
Lachhiman Gurung fought with 2 others against 200 Japanese soldiers his fellow soldiers were injured and couldn't fight Lachhiman had lost all his fingers on his right hand and held the line with one arm and dared the Japanese to fight him.
"Come and fight a Gurkha"
It was also field marshal rommel driver in north africa when he was a general who kept gurkha knife kukari as souviner. Hitler nicknamed for gurkha was black devil. Germany also send mercedez benz to nepal through enemy british india. And that car was carried to nepal as nepal didnot have road. They wanted gurkha to ally with them. With the quote if i have gurkha on my sidw i will conquer wntire europe or something similar,. The car fro. Germany to nepal proves of the somewhat birbe they offerd in form of gifts.
actually i think your mistaken bro, i think he said that about the Aussie diggers after tobruk.
@@pranavr9783 goddamn right mate, many don’t know this
The germans feared the gurkhas n wanted them in their side, gurkhas were already aligned with britain. The quote u said was said for the gurkhas by hitler himself.
crock of shit
That was an amazing and beautiful display of critical historical warrior cultures. It actually brought a tear my eye, it fills my heart with hope that warriors still walk this realm.
Yep, tears of pride 🥹
And who destroyed these warriors?
@@SuperSpring09Nobody destroyed them. The politicians are trying to shackle them to appease the woke idiots but when the warriors let loose, God help the woke brigade. They’ll be running home to mummy.
@@SuperSpring09gurkha have never been destroyed or conquerd by another. All who invaded their land took refuge in nepal. Even the great sikh empire her highness took refuge in nepal. Even martha leader nana shaib ( only son of the last peshwa baji rao) took refuge in nepal. Nepal is very influencial land od the himalaya. India and pakistan had univeristy such as takshila and nalanda but that knowlege came from this land they didnot spoke in sanskrit but in pali language. The same land of nepal feom which ramayan camw to south from valmiki ashram of nepal. The same hinalyan land of nepal which has rishi vashsita ashram who gave righ vedh and this particular knowlge is so old that oldest evidence of sanskrit word comes from this book. Himalayan kingdome of nepal is iconic for their their knowledge. No forigner have ever defeated this himalyan land but great empire of north and south have established friendship with the kingdome of nepal. Such as ashoka daughter was married to nepali prince.the circle symbol of indian flag. As well as the tibetean king who even conquerd china his wife was nepali princess ( the spread of budhism in tibet). The pagoda style arcticture of asia came from nepal architect arnaniko that even kublia khan ( decendnt of gengis khan) admired. Many of china imcredible building is inspired by this architect as well as some. Of his work still stand in china. Pagoda style is seen all over asia korea,japan, thailand. There is alot to offer. The gukrhahave been admired hy their enemy reason some have clapped and cheerd for gurkha soilder than to shoot at them like the statement of vc in kulbir thapa.
The enemy would be wise to turn back. The British brought Gurkha peoples to Myanmar before WW2 and we still have Gurkha villages in Myanmar. The Gurkha fighters heavily influenced the Myanmar traditional martial arts called Bando that we adopted the Kukri knife fighting as part of the Bando martial art.
What an honour to see great cousins in the commonwealth such great respect to each other
I could be wrong but if I'm not mistaken there is an old Gurkha tradition that essentially says if you draw your kukri it must see blood either the enemies or your own. Again I could be wrong.
"WHEN THE OCEAN MEETS THE MOUNTAIN"... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Glad we're all on the same side
Greater Nepal…Originally GORKHA worship female goddess Mahakali as well as Gorakhnath Baba and sacrifice water buffalo with khukuri in one shot.It’s not just weapon it’s a tradition and culture.It’s a tribal mindset which a lot of people will struggle to understand.

Ive always been told that the Gukari didnt get the knife out unless there was gonna be blood.
Right?
whats that plant at 0:43 ?

Although, as I listened to the war chants, I was reminded of something my grandfather told me from WW2. His Bomber Captain tried to explain to a Maori (in pigeon English and pantomime, with sound effects) why the plane was crashed in their hunting grounds. The Maori responded...
"My dear, Man! What in God's Name are you trying to tell us?"
Where was this held.ive never see Gurkha challenge before.that get the adrenaline going.
Two ancient warrior cultures building a window into the past. I have worked with both groups and found them to be both excellent soldiers and top men.
The khukuri is the traditional blade for Nepali , the blade is being used for every other task but once the Nepali is on battlefield with the khukuri the custom is once it’s withdrawn from the sheath it demands blood so you can’t put it back until it’s demand is being fulfilled !
Who is more powerful scotish soldiers or gurkha soilders.
Lets hope we never have to find out
