Just like yakthung_laje i care about my Identity and preserving my heritage.
Whether i am Gurung,Magar,Kirati,Newar,Tharu,Thakali,Sherpa,Tamang, or other undermarginalized
people of Nepal, we need o preserve their culture,identity and practices/rituals.
We need to preserve and show respect to these ancient believes and culture because that's
what our ancestors have been doing so.
It's my IDENTITY.
JanaJatis have never been heard or just been scraped by Shah rulers for hundreds of years now.
for example, Proclaiming Nepal as the Hindu State.
Did they ever ask the people about it?
I am not against Nepal being hindu state, but at least Shah should have shown respect to JanaJatis.
JanaJatis means native/indiineous people. It means that before Shah grandfather and grandmother came from
Iran-Paki-India-Nepal, these people were already making Nepal their home.

There's never in a single Nepali history about Panchayat system telling how JanaJatis were
not allowed to access to education.
For fear that if janajatis received education, they would hold high posts.

Also

I
heard vaguely about  what's written in Prithivi Narayan Shah's book
"Dibya Upadesh" about the Gurkhas. Its written in the book that the
Gurungs, Magars, Rais and Limbus should be used as weapons BUT they
should never be allowed to assume IMPORTANT Posts.

I heard
that  Dibya Upadesh is like a manual book for the ruling, feudal class.
whatever they have learnt comes through this book.

So does anyone knows about this?

I am looking forward to read the full article and find the answer.
