Check THIS shit out. 40 to 1 odds, and he comes out the winner.
The translation comes across as a little strange, but the story is all there.

The Indian army, is going to awarded Bishnu with Sourya Chakra, Bravery Award and Sarvottam Jeevan Raksha medals during the Indian Republic Day celebration on January 26.
While in the train, Maurya Express from Ranchi to Gorakhpur, on September 2, 2010, 35 year-old Bishnu saved a girl about to be raped by the train robbers in front of her helpless parents. After looting the train, when the robbers started to strip a 18 year old girl in front of him, he couldn’t contain his calmness. He took out his khukari and took on the a group of 40 robbers, alone.

I read a series of books by Lee Child. Jack Reacher, the main character, is an ex MP drifrer who falls into situations that always need to be "fixed", which he does all on his own. I think Jack Reacher is a Gurkha.
