The Gorkha Grief

First to lead and the last to complain, the Gorkha soldiers have withstood the test of time despite the challenges thrown their way. Renowned for their bravery, they have a remarkable legacy as warriors who paved the way for the proud modern India we celebrate today. Instead of being rightfully showered with accolades and acknowledgment, the sincere Gorkhas have been treated as outsiders, their families and communities left out of the progress that the rest of the country has leaped towards over time. Stuck between power players plotting to determine its faith, Nepal has also come to a standstill, with progress slipping away faster than the country can keep up with. Who is to blame for this reality and is it too late to make amends? There are many questions left unanswered, but through the pages of this book—woven with the tears of long-suffering Nepalis worldwide—Tim I Gurung intends to show you how the vast depths of the Gorkha Grief came to be.
