Gurkha terms and traditions

Gurkha terms and traditions are rooted in Nepalese history and military culture. Gurkhas are soldiers known for loyalty, bravery, and discipline, often serving in the British and Indian armies. They have their own language (Gurkhali/Nepali dialect) and rituals, such as the kukri knife, a symbol of their honor and identity. Gurkha traditions emphasize respect, camaraderie, and resilience, often marked by ceremonies like the "Gurkha Parade" and annual gatherings honoring their service. Their commitment is reflected in the strict discipline, code of conduct, and pride they take in their heritage and duties.
