As they were later known after the “Treaty of Saugali” in 1815. Gorkhas and British East India Company fought against each other during their military campaigns out of which both stimulated respect and admiration for one another which later contributed to national level agreement that gave British the right to recruit Gorkhas under their Government and hence “British Gurkhas” was born. Interestingly “Gorkhas” was called “Gurkhas” (which is universal accepted now), this is what we see as an anglicized version of a word first heard by English ears back in the early 18th century. Britain and India both recruit Gurkhas presently. |
