Legend has it to test bravery some Gurkha warriers would hunt a tiger with a kukri to proove thier bravery.
I understand many Mahrarajas of martial races {As the Brits called them.}put a lot of store in physical bravery as well?
Excerpt from Hunting Weapons from the Middle Ages to the Twentieth Century: By Howard L. Blackmore But originaly copied from Reverend Woods 19th century classic, "Travels in India and Nepal” by the Reverend Wood in 1896.
He also described the Gurkhas as "Brave as lions, active as monkeys, and fierce as tigers" Something not very many people aspire to today perhaps?
