    Gorkha Soldier Saves Girl from Rape and Takes on 40 Train Robbers with Only a Khukuri
    Bishnu Shrestha, who had just retired from the Indian army where he served as a Gorkha soldier, held off a horde of robbers that tried to rob a train in India. From the article on Republica:
    “The band of about 40 robbers, some of whom were travelling as passengers, stopped the train in the Chittaranjan jungles in West Bengal around midnight. Shrestha– who had boarded the train at Ranchi in Jharkhand, the place of his posting–was in seat no. 47 in coach AC3.

    “They started snatching jewelry, cell phones, cash, laptops and other belongings from the passengers,” Shrestha recalled. The soldier had somehow remained a silent spectator amidst the melee, but not for long. He had had enough when the robbers stripped an 18-year-old girl sitting next to him and tried to rape her right in front of her parents. He then took out his khukuri and took on the robbers.

    “The girl cried for help, saying ´You are a soldier, please save a sister´,” Shrestha recalled. “I prevented her from being raped, thinking of her as my own sister,” he added. He took one of the robbers under control and then started to attack the others. He said the rest of the robbers fled after he killed three of them with his khukuri and injured eight others…“Fighting the enemy in battle is my duty as a soldier; taking on the dacoits in the train was my duty as a human being,” said the Indian army nayak.

    Most of that lot didn't move quite as fast as the sweaties.

    Probably because they weren't trying to get away from the terrible sound of bagpipes coming up the hill behind them.

    I love the pipes, don't listen to records or anything but they do stir the blood.

    Ponting out an Intolerant Ideology is prejudicial?

    How did you get backwards savages from my quote?
    You clearly have no idea what is taught from the Koran and the laws of Muslim countries and you won't bother checking but you doubt they would hold these beliefs?

    A hideous caterwailing, guaranteed to put anyone in a murderous rage.

    You need both hands to play it though , a horn or trumpet is better you can hold your weapon in the spare hand.

    Pipers don't normally fight. It's a throwback to regimental Colour Bearers.
