A retired Gurkha soldier named Bishnu Shrestha was on a train when 40 men, armed with knives, swords and guns, began robbing the passengers. He sat tight while they took his wallet; but when the thugs grabbed the next passenger, an 18 year old girl, and began cutting her clothes off, the soldier stood up, pulled out his kukri, and went to work. In twenty minutes he killed three bandits, disabled eight, and chased the rest off the train.
His regiment has un-retired him and promoted him, and the Indian government is giving him a cash bounty in addition to several medals. Ayo Gorkhali!

These quiet little men have achieved so much over the years and are from a place so few know anything about.
Remarkable is one word for it.
My respect goes out to a man willing to take on the odds simply because to not do so would yield an unacceptable outcome.
