Hi,

I am interested to know the ancestors of our past royal family. Through reading some historical journals, I came to know that our Shah dynasty came from India who were rajputs. They entered Nepal to escape prosecution from the Muslim invasion. Prior to having the Shah surname, they had different last name. Later on, the Shah surname was earned as an  honor from other rulers in India or some neighboring country. Me and my friend disagree on the origin of our royal family ancestry. He believes that our royal family are Farasi or Iraninas, which i totally disagree. I believe that they are Rajputs from India. I am not supporting India, here, but just came to know through reading..in Wikipedia..(Not a reliable source) Can anyone shed light on this topic, or provide some credible link .

I just love reading history and know only bits and pieces, but need some strong inputs from others, or the exact fact.

Thanks,

Cyrus,
