If there's time and a suitable opportunity, could you ask the kamis if they know any legends, folk-tales etc about Sikander, Segunder or Iskander (the names given in Indian legend to Alexander the Great)?
I'd be very interested to hear what they have to say, given the possible connection between Alexander, the machaera and the origins of the khukuri
