The original Gurkhas were from Nepal, which is a mostly Hindu country.

Muslims should know better than to mess with Hindus. Or Sikhs. They don't worry about being PC like the French.

Yes they are. As are the larger numbers of Gurkas in the Indian Army.

Yes they were and yes it will. I believe the Gurkas are no longer a part of the British Army tho. If I'm not mistaken, they were disbanded a few years ago.

The Gurkhas work for both the Indian and British armies -- they're mercenaries
