Maybe they should have sent in the Indian Marines.
Are the Gurkhas Indian?

Nepalese. They were British mercenary troops recruited in Nepal. In 1947 when India became independent four of the ten existing Gurkha regiments were transferred to the British and six regiments went to the Indian Army. The Indian Army still has "Gorkha" (India's spelling) troops.

Ah, Gurkhas are from Nepal and not India. Do not mess with Gurkhas or they will serve you your head on a plate.
