I am a Gurkha, a retired Colonel, have written and self published books on the Gurkhas and Historical Buddhism.
Background
Information
Born in a archaic Hindu-Buddhist family. Went to a Boarding School run by Jesuits, turned out to possess a very inquiring mind, no clash of culture.
As a Gurkha and as expected of them served with a Gurkha Regiment gaining first hand experience of the life and manners of active soldiering. Learned the languages of Hindostan, Pakistan and Bangla Desh besides my own mother tongue Nepali.
Saw the vast extent of confusion created by two centuries of British Rule on the Hindu-Pak cultural horizon of South-Asia which was already pretty deteriorated by five centuries of Islamic rule that had preceded the Brits.
In addition saw the disinformation the Brits had helped to spread and not making it clear that Siddhartha Gout'm, who became the Buddha, was a Kirati-Mongolian Prince of the Sakya tribe. The brahmins have now taken over from the Brits and have declared that the Lion of the Sakyas belong to "low-caste". Ask any Brit or a brahmin and they will firstly pose as the benefactor of the Gurkhas and add that the Gurkhas do not write.
Let me therefore, be the first Kirati-Mongolian Gurkha to set the case straight, that we need to say how they have been stifled over the past centuries.
Accomplishments
The singular achievement of my life is that I have been able to bring this out in the open.
