Good one, Bihan-ji. You are 100% right. Magars were swindled out of their religion, culture, sovereignty and identity. Tamangs too have been cruelly tricked and had their lands taken away. Newars, with all their glory, were mercilessly subdued and shamelessly tortured. The Kirats too were promised equal alliance with the distribution of "lal mohars" but then PNS and his decendents broke those promises. Come to think of, we hear so much about Nepal's golden years when Kirati, Licchavi, Malla kings ruled the valley. Compared to that, past 250 years really sucked, did it not? So what is this "great" shah lineage that royalists talk about? I don't know.
