Do you think Chhetris like Thapa, Basnet, Karki, Mahat, Khadka, Raut, who are called Jharro chhetri, offsprings of bahun and lower caste? LOL! Bhujel and gharti are slave (Kamara) caste in fact. I am not sure about how they originated. Probably they hailed from some notable families from the defeated sides in war, who could not be executed. IDK for sure.

Chhetris have 4 clans:

1. Thakuri: royals

2. Jharro (vassals): all the pure chhetris, who do not share surname with bahun (may share with Magar, yesko barema pachhi bataula)

3. Khatri: Chhetri mom and bahun dad. It becoms Hamal if mom is thakuri. All khatris and hamals have bahun surnames.

4. Thimse chhetri: bahun dad and lower caste mom.In past people from pure/good chhetri background did not inter-marry with thimse as they had very low status. Khatri had same status as jharro, though.

So, what you are saying to all chhetris is Thimse. LOL!!

I am not trying to be pure bred, I am just pointing out fallacy in your argument. BTW, chhetri ko jaat khasdaina. If a bahun marries a dalit, his offsprings and himself become dalit (probably you have heard many kami, damai, sarki having bahun surname. Best example: Tulasi Ghimire). But if a Chhetri marries any lower cast, his social status might be affected but his jaat remains the same.

One more thing, gotra is horse shit. Do you think Magars (they also have gotra) and Khas are descendants of rishi-munis?A Raut guy in upper jumla like Patmaara does not have any gotra, but the same people in khalanga have gotra. Does bell ring?
