Indian Gorkhas | Indian Nepalis: The Identity Crisis | Are They Really Indian?

The Indian Gorkha community has long faced an identity crisis in India. Despite being recognized Indian citizens, questions about their nationality, culture, and belonging continue to arise. Why do we never say Indian Punjabi or Indian Bengali, but Indian Gorkha sounds necessary? Why does the term "Nepali" create confusion, leading many to assume that all Nepali-speaking people in India are from Nepal?

Historically, Gorkhas have played a vital role in India—especially in the Indian Army, where they are known for their bravery and sacrifice. Yet, misconceptions still exist. Many believe that Gorkhas in India are migrants from Nepal, ignoring the fact that Indian Gorkhas have been citizens of India for generations, as recognized in official government gazettes.

In this video, we break down:
✅ Who are the Indian Gorkhas?
✅ The history of their presence in India
✅ Their cultural and linguistic identity
✅ Why the confusion about their nationality exists
✅ Their invaluable contribution to India, including in the army
✅ The ongoing demand for Gorkhaland and its significance

The identity crisis of Indian Gorkhas is not just about citizenship—it’s about recognition, respect, and the right to be accepted as Indians without constant doubt. This is a conversation that needs to be had.
