If Gorkhas have been in India before the time of Mahabharata, wouldn't the Gorkha population be big as a Bengali population. It's been over 2000 years.

Bengali population is over 200 million people. Do Gorkhas have less children and Bengalis have more children? Why?

Gorkhalis have been living in the Himalayas since Mahabharat times and they are mentioned in the same epic just because we are mentioned in the Mahabharat does not mean that we need to be a billion strong... How many tribe mentioned in Mahabharat still survive???

The fact we do.. is an indication of how deeply impeded we are with the nature

Where are you from? what is your ethnic background? how many are there from your community? Then ask why? The same will hold true for the Gorkhalis as well

[ted2924]

Sorry, I don't know Indian history. That why I am asking you? I am from the West.

Big population number does matter. If your community is big, your people get more representation in media and politics. Politicians would listen to you more. Gorkhas have lived in India for 2000 years but their number, 10 million strong, is realtively small compared to Bengalis and Hindi population.

Mr. Ted from the West what you have written is true... Numbers do matter, but as Samuel Adams one of the founding fathers of the United States of America once said... "it does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds"... That is what we are doing...

India was formed on the idea of "Swaraj-selfrule one of our founding fathers Lala Lajpathrai once said "Swaraj is my birth right and I shall have it" n so shall we

How many Gorkhas are there in India and Nepal?

Show me some Aryan Gorkhas.

[bugsthegreatest]

I don't know how many are in Nepal... but in India Gorkhalis are estimated to be over 10 Million. Predominantly Gorkhalis live in the lap of Himalayas... so Gorkhalis are spread from Arunachal Pradesh to Jammu and Kashmir... Darjeeling, Dehradun and Sikkim however has major concentration of Gorkhali populations....

As for Aryan Gorkhas... you should google 'Chettri", "Bahun" etc... or simply Gorkahlis of Aryan Descent"

@ted2924

Darjeeling belongs to ghorkha....it jst that the british caprtured it n put in india doesnt mean that darjeeling doesnt belong to us....if u want ghorkhas to b out of india map, then do it..but throw us with our land.....n 1 thng, dont forget that ur sorry ass is always saved by the ghorkha army at the borders of bengladesh, pakistan and china....

@ted2924 I think India could do without more numbers of anyone. It is quality over quantity anyway. Look at the Panjabis, 20 million, well fed and tower over thier neighbours they are also one of the wealthiest people in the country. Bengalis are largely impoverished small people. Resourse is not infinite, have too many people and everyone receives less.

There is no such thing as "Aryan" Gorkhas. All so called Brahmins, Thakurs or Kshatriya (Chhetri) people have inter-mixed with the locals through centuries of living together.

I am from western Himalayas (Kashmir), and this inter-mixture can be seen here as well. You can see the imprint of our common culture in language, dress and architecture too. Eg. look at the architecture of all temples and mosques in Kashmir. They look like Buddhist pagodas!
