@ruben, the very fact that u repeat the word kshatriya makes me think u r talking BS.
there are only 2 kinds of warrior castes of hindu fold in nepal- the khas and the kshatriya. the kshatriyas arethe rajputs of terai and they call themselves so. the other ones are the khas people who after jung bahadurs india visit were told to take the title of chettri(nepalised version of kshatriya).so kshatriyas are only the surnames like singh,thakur etc.
if u are from western hills u must be a khas who call themselves chettri nowadays.
u ound like a really extra ordinary breed of kshatriya,could u please post some photos of your tulwars,khudas and spears with the knotch like that of a kukri. i would love to see that :)
also if u are from west of bheri, i m pretty sure u are not so familiar with kukri. people west of bheri dont use mmuch kukri culturally. its the people of gandaki region who used ,spread and took kukri into other parts. kirats were archers and they used straight swords instead of kuris initially. thats why they have a different name for it.
which khas are u ? you may not know it but u are a khas and not a kshatriya. kshatriyas are indian warrior classes of the low lands.
`its not m or w ,its called kauda and some believe its a symbol of shakti(yoni).it doesnt stop blood flowing over to your hand(it plays no role in it).no one knows the real reason of its existence'-read the full sentence.i dont care whether it is in wiki or anywhere else. kauda is conidered by hindu priests as symbol of kali(and it looks like yoni) and a red mark it put on it by priests during kot puja in dashain.some compare it with cow-hoof and the gurungs call it cho instead of kauda.
@nalapani,
i dont think kukri belongs to khas people. just go westwards from bheri river in baise region and people have swords at homes,have dances with swords(saraye,bhuwo) but they dont have that much kukris as in gandaki region where it is omnipresent.
and i also don believe it was inspired from kopis, thats one post-colonial thought that every new,efficient and handy thing must be somewhat thought,made or inspired from the west.
if it was from the west why dont persians, pathans, punjabis and indian khas people used kukris? it must have come through this way for sure.
