As much as I wanted to stay out of putting in even a single comment into this ignorant thread anymore, finally this pompus fool aka Nepe, acknowledges that the Manangis can indeed be a part of the NEFIN list.  Pseudo scholars who formed the list probably never once realized that there would be an outrage amongst the educated Manangi and Mustangi folks who would definitely be surprised in seeing other minorities make the list but themselves (and who created these lists classifying minorities?? Some damn Koiralas, Sharma, Sherpa, Wangdabi Bhote (WTF), etc....Talk about equal representation!!  AND do these outsiders even know anything about us at all?  I doubt it since our community is real closely knit together hardly allowing any outsiders to access the inside). 

Bob's below words surely hit the nail on the head in regards to adding the Manangis on the list of indigenous peeps and giving it the distinct recognition the group truly deserves: 

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.
