SimpleGal is right.............. Bhimsen Thapa was a Bagaley Thapa.... I can't comment on him not being a magar, but so far what I have heard he was a Bagaley thapa.... I have yet to hear discussion by a legal panel claiming him a Magar Thapa.. But for right now.. Boys and Girls he is a Bagaley Thapa... and he has long line of generations who are bagaley thapa... how know.. one of my jawai is Bagaley Thapa.. Peace out OG (original Gorkhali)
