i have heard other wise. The bahuns and chettris were originally from Italy. there is a place called Naples in italy. These sharp featured and darker Italians were not liked by other fairer italians so they decided to move to east. they crossed all the way through mountainic terrain and settled in higher lands of present day Nepal. later on they moved to the plains and started calling their new home country as Naples because they were from that place in Italy. As time flew by Naples became Nepal.. and this is how the story ends Ciao
