Why Gurkhas are famous for BRAVERY?

In 2010, the retired Gurkha soldier was traveling on a train in India when a large gang of armed robbers attacked passengers. During the chaos, the gang reportedly tried to assault an 18-year-old girl. Most passengers were terrified, but Shrestha intervened alone. Armed only with his traditional Gurkha kukri knife, he fought the attackers in close combat inside the moving train. Reports say he killed several gang members and injured others before the attackers finally retreated. Shrestha himself suffered serious injuries during the fight and later required hospital treatment. What made the story even more powerful was his response afterward. The rescued girl’s family reportedly offered him money and support, but he refused payment, saying protecting innocent people was simply his duty as both a soldier and a human being. The incident reinforced the global reputation of Gurkhas, Nepalese soldiers famous for bravery, discipline, and loyalty.
