Funny you mention the Gurkhas. One of those regiments is stationed in the Himalayas in the disputed territory. And while most of the skirmishes between the Indians Regulars and the PLA have been fairly even (with a minor tilt toward India), the handful of times the Gurkhas have fought has seen them absolutely slaughter the Chinese. The last fight, 2 Gurkhas were killed. Meanwhile, the Chinese refuse to say, but rumors from Chinese dissidents says their death toll was 40+. And this was with just sticks and rocks (no guns to try and keep the escalation away).
