Absolute respect for being a Gurkha. To go from Gurkha and be a chosen 1 and stand out from the crowd to being a member of the SAS I salute you Sir!

Who doesn’t know the Gurkhas ?? The most humble and fiercest warriors in the world. 😊

with a huge amount of respect these fuckers are the real deal.

These Gurkhas are some of the toughest soldiers on the planet( such a nice and humble guy) it was a pleasure listening to his testimony james !!!

[@nigeisfree7837]

My grandad was in the paras and he said the best fighting machine was the Gurkhas they could tigh you shoe laces together without you even noticing and on top of that they were amazing human beings

I trained in Catterick with gurkhas well not with them as they have their own regiment...... But they are the most fearless individuals I have ever met similar to the fijians

[@barra6709]

James, congratulations selling out a live audience. I've been watching you for years. It's been great watch you go from strength to strength. 🇮🇪

[@garywilson9340]

My section commander in catterick was called roshan ghale he was a gurkha. They are such nice well mannered respectable people. Very disciplined soldiers too.

[@BullyBoxer]

One of my properties was near where they were based in the UK, nothing but little gentleman , they would go into the local garage and was like yes sir no sir best mannered people I’ve ever encountered. I was boxing and running at the time , they could come past you like you were stood still on 7 miles. Really really nice people .

[@garywilson9340]

@@BullyBoxer nicest people ever but at the same time hard as hell also.

[@michaelfoy6831]

I remember when I was a cadet, we went away on our annual camp and we see in the distance of the camp around 20 Gurkhas , constantly running around this circuit with one of them on each others back, constantly rotating, they did not stop while we was sat down watching in awe for half hour. Never forgotten that day absolute warriors

[@jayprimmfilmsclips108]

Ex-chosen one here. (Sounds funny that) many a time been in a trench with a Gurkha) Big respect, not cos of their soldiering, that too, but because of the conversations we’ve exchanged whilst being freezing cold, soaking wet in Brecon, or in some such other lands, discussing cultures and life, with chattering teeth, whilst being switched on to our job. Weird. Hard to explain. And, also being an ex professional boxer, I completely resonate with the talk about men that are disciplined in some form of fighting skills… I’m teetotal now, but in the past, been in many a pub, with some lunatic wanting to exchange fisticuffs, for one reason or another… I’ve always, always declined… many a friend, at the time thought I was a coward… nope. Couldn’t be arsed to comply. Not cos I think I’m tough, not because of the fear of losing, or hurt, but because there is nothing ever to prove but you’re own dignity. And I have never given a shit about ego. I wish our world was full of peace, love and knowledgeable warriors. Fuck me, I’m getting soft. Enjoyed the podcast, thank you.

[@jayprimmfilmsclips108]

I’ve put ‘chosen one’ on here, on above message… dyslexic error. It was meant to say ‘Chosen man’ ie, ex RGJ and not SF.

[@jfrazer9459]

My dad was in the grenadier guard’s back in the 1950’s, (He’s 86 now). He always drummed into me how good the Gurkhas were and how much respect he had for the Gurkha soldiers. Anyhow this is going to be a massively interesting interview for me and my father, so thank you James for making it happen.

No bullshit or twisting stories if anything he skirted around the stories where he clearly was more involved. Humble is the word 👍 I’m going to learn more about the Gurkhas Thank you

[@stevenbriggs950]

My brother in law used to go to Catterick every year to run the PARA 10 , i used to be amazed at watching some proper athletes buckled as they crossed the line but the Ghurkas were crossing the line like they just started + carrying 35lb bergen on there backs absolute warriors 👍

[@giveusanepleasebob992]

Ghurkas are the absolute best people and the respect they have from the indiginous British public is off the scale. Our government should feel the same as us.

[@dale1552]

Definitely more of this type of content. No bs. No glorified gangsta crap.

[@andytraill]

Truly epic. Most bonnie and gentle mindset. 🤘

[@Rokcie]

The thing I'm sure will never fail to amaze me with every Gurkha I have ever heard about/come across personally (countless stories giving nothing but credit & respect from My Grandad & his) - is their level of humility. And it appears they are no different as people today than their very own WW1 and WW2 Generations & those before. Given without doubt they are absolute warrior powerhouses, physical & mental strength next level, they somehow manage to retain such gentle natures & overall decency as a people. As Men. It's easy to get carried away with interviews from all those claiming to lived or living the supposed high life - those all about the fame, fortune, and all of the real grit - serious addiction & major crime "come back" stories - don't get me wrong, I watch them all & enjoy the majority - grittier the better if genuine and good can come from the stories (but even even those so blatantly full of shit are worth watching for the giggle) but the much rarer like this interview are the real gems..... pure gold, heartwarming and very grounding. Let's face it, living life nowadays (in the West) seems all so geared toward or all about money/status/ego & so little about everything else that money can't buy & the morals & qualities & lifestyles that really do matter... Where are all the decent people, Nepal?! We can be forgiven for thinking almost everyone supposedly "powerful" is corrupt & greed fuelled, but I find just as many average people are hellbent on having some sort of social media celeb type status when the reality is, alot of them (and that) is just fake & grotty.... I love James' honesty re the lack of respect both Women & Men seemingly have for themselves and for each other these days... truest story right there sadly (& as Our Generations go, they seem to be getting worse not better) Very long winded review lol but I'm touched & felt compelled to write as much; this was a beautiful interview - Thankyou xxx

[@user-Tortured-soul]

What a wonderful child hood Krish Thapa had. It’s the simple things in life that matter. We in the West are becoming more toxic we are all trampling over each other in a race to be better and to have more and more. The older I become the more negativity I see. People are to eager to gossip and don’t care who they hurt, that type are never happier than when they are destroying another persons reputation. All is vanity and a striving after the wind. Each day has enough worries for that day. We need to get back to being satisfied with the simple things in life. Look out for each other be kind to each other. It takes less energy to be kind than it does to hate. Respect yourself and others.

[@cryptohypez1448]

Unfortunately they’re not, most gurkas don’t even get British citizenship after they leave the regiment

[@AnthonyWitherington]

They were badly let down

[@RossNaylor-uq4jp]

I think the government has granted all serving ghurkas and their families British citizenship now, but unfortunately they were definitely not treated with the respect and dignity they deserve. for a long time and yes they are warriors and some of the most feared men in our enemies forces I was lucky enough to be based on the same barracks as them and I would go to their curry nights.they are the type of guys you would want your kid to grow up as they treat everyone with respect and their manners are brilliant but cross them your best bet is ruuuuun 😂 .

[@garybarr2023]

​@RossNaylor-uq4jp Aye think you may be correct because aye can remember Joanna Lumley kicking up a fluck about it years ago because she was either born in Nepal or India and couldn't believe it herself why they didn't have or get offered citizenship etc etc after serving in the UK forces 🤔

One of the biggest scandals in our country is not allowing these fine fighting men obtain British citizenship. They take an oath to lay their life on the line for King and country just like any other British soldier yet get less pay and have to jump through hurdles and red tape with no guarantee at the end. How f'cked up is that!! They've proved their loyalty time and time again and i'd take a thousand Gurkhas than 1 illegal immigrant any day. Than you for your service Krish Thapa and your fellow Gurkhas.

[@benclarke1614]

Such a great shame on the feeble cowardly UK politicians that despite the Gurkhas long service to the UK they had to fight for the right to remain in the UK after they retired. If it had not been for the Ab Fab Joanna Lumney lending her weight to the campaign they might well still be turfed out after they finished there service. A lot of new age numpties go on about oneness but this man really lived from that humility of regarding nature as sacred
