About the Book :- In writing this book, undertaken at the suggestion of many friends, the author has tried to steer a middle course between those accounts of Nepal inevitably cursory and incomplete, that are to be found in ordinary works of travel whose author’s have paid merely brief visits to that little known country, and the more elaborate and exhaustive works written by those who from their close connection, official or non-official, with the country, can claim to be actual experts on the subject. This book is written during the time of the British Raj. This book is an Englishman’s perspective of the Gurkhas as a people, offering fascinating insights into their customs, beliefs, way of life and the services they rendered as part of a British military outfit. Long unavailable, The Land of the Gurkhas has been republished to bring significant books of colonial India back into circulation. Descriptions of society, customs and traditions bring to life a long lost Nepal. The book is the product of extensive study of a first-hand experience of the colonial perspective. It contains good illustrations and photographs to make it more interesting. The book contains a chapter by Brigadier General C. G. Bruce.
