However, there is a tragic difference, Godden was writing about the one and only place where the Brits and their Gurkha wives had lived in peaceful harmony of tea gardens of Darjeeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGurkhas are internationally known as fighters but they do not fight for themselves. Gurkhas do not write; no Gurkha has ever written a single word neither about themselves nor why they fight for their friends.
