"However, I would like to alert you that not just the government’s agency NFDIN, but also the independent organization NEFIN (Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities, Chairperson: Mr. Pasang Sherpa, VC: Mr. Wangdabi Bhote) does not enlist “Manange” as a separate group."


 


That is beacuse that M00therF000ker Sherpa already got his ethnicity on the list, what does he care? If you have limited space on the list, then Sherpa should be under Bhote, not separate group. Damn...typical Nepali politics.


And Wangdabi Bhote...I really don't know who goes by Bhote as the lst name, but his "Bhote" group is on the list too. So both of this diicck suckers got their wishes, tell me what makes you think I or We can rely on them.

 

Again:

OK...after checking your website which finally started working.

 

Some key notes to watch and ponder:

 

1. Under the Himalyan Indigenous category, the "Thakali" is given 3 spots- Marphali THAKALI, THAKALI and Tin Gaule THAKALI. Why? Three different types of Thakali based on what...locations? At the same time, all the region of Mustang and Managan are put under category of Bahra Gaunle. Do you think it is fair?

 

2. Manage and Mustange do NOT speak the same language to begin with, how can you categorise them as the same group.

 

3. Another fact, the people of upper Mustang and lower Mustang have different dialect, although close, they are strikingly different. The upper Mustang are proud Dokpa and Lo people, which I did not see any mention on your website. They speak very Tibetan like dialect and the lower Mustang are similar to Sherpa in dialect. Who the hell is this Sharma who came up with these data on your site?

 

4. Sherpa are somewhat related to Mustangi. The dilect of Mustang and Sherpa are quite similar, they can understand each other pretty well, and so are the custom and the tradition. Yet Sherpa gets its own group on the list, and we are mixed up with Mustangi under a bizzare name of "12 villages". Selection based on location Vs unique ethnicity. What exactly is the rule? How irony that a Sherpa (Chairman) is on the board of the NEFIN. Credibility??? 

 

Suggestion to Nepe:

Remove the 3 different category of Thakali and put Manage on the list. Not that I want to start another war with the Thakali, it just makes more sense and fairness to the people around the region.
