a very good marine friend (ret.) told me of an excellent viet nam era Gurhkas story.
Seems the US soldiers were plagued by local thieves as they set up their camp in an area.
When the Gerhkas came to set up nearby they were warned of the thief problem. Sure enough the thieves did strike the Gerhka camp. HOWEVER, the Gehrkas caught four of them, chopped off their heads and piked the heads at the four corners of the camp. The thieves stopped bothering the Gerhkas.
This was only a story told to me, however I do like it. Very serious reputation for being victory oriented.

Why are/were they in Kashmir? I thought that was Pak/Islamist mercenaries v. India. Does the Indian Army have units of Ghurkas as well? Great pictures.

I have an old issue of "Soldier of Fortune" magazine somewhere with an article about the Ghurkas (spelled a few different ways). They are experts at lopping your head off before you know what happened. The Islamo-terrorits have met their match in this area. The Ghurkas are the best there is at separating the brain housing group from the body.

The Islamofascists think they're bad a$$es. I'd like to see them come up against the Ghurkas! They'd run screaming like little girls!
