Time has come again to fight the Rakshas. Time has come again to Rakshya our Bumi.

The hatred between Nepal and India existed since the early period and during the times of Mahabharata, Indian and "Mleccha" fought for territorial and survival at the Indo-Gangetic
plain of India.
Mleccha (from Vedic Sanskrit म्लेच्छ mleccha, meaning "non-Aryan, barbarian")
is a term for people who did not conform with the moral and religious norms of the Indo-Aryan society. Mleccha in Hinduism could refer to any being who has different teachings than Hinduism and does not follow the Vedas. In the Indian history many Buddhists from the Pala dynasty
(Kamarupa) were known as Mlechhas. The term 'Nepal' is first found in 'Atharva Parishista' (4th Century B.C.). The term 'Kirat Desh' can be found in earlier documents.

According to this, it is understood that the term 'Kirat' not only stands for Rai, Limbu or Sunuwar but also stands for all the people living in Kirat Desh(Nepal) at that time, including the Newars, Tharus and all other indigenous people now living in Nepal.

The Vishnu Purana indicates that the "chatur-varna" or four class social system was
absent in the lands of Kiratas in the East and the Yavanas(Greek) and Kambojas(Iranian), etc. in the West. The Himalayan region extending from Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Nepal, Sikkim and Tripura was referred to as the “Kirat Desh” or “the Land of Kiratas”.
Still today one can find mon khmer Kirat people in Himachal Pradesh.

References in Mahabharata and other ancient Literature:

The Mahabharata groups the Yavanas with the Kambojas, and the Cinas(Chinese) and calls them "Mlechchas" (Barbarians). In the epic Mahabharata, some Mleccha warriors are described as having
"heads completely shaved or half-shaved or covered with matted locks, [as being] impure in habits, and of crooked faces." They are "dwellers of hills" and "denizens of mountain-caves."

In the Bhagavata Purana the term is used in the context of meat eaters, outcasts.

The Vanaparava of Mahabharata contains verses in the form of prophecy complaining that "… Mlechha (barbaric) kings of the Shakas, Yavanas, Kambojas, Bahlikas etc. shall rule the earth (i.e India) un-righteously in Kaliyuga....".
There are important references to the warring Mleccha hordes of the Shakas, Yavanas, Kambojas, Pahlavas, etc. in the Bala Kanda of the Valmiki Ramayana.
Indologists like Dr. Hemchandra C. Raychadhury, Dr. Bimala Churn Law, Dr. Satya Shrava, and others, see in these verses the clear glimpses of the struggles of the Hindus with the mixed invading hordes of the barbaric Sakas(Iranians), Yavanas(Greeks), Kambojas, Pahlavas, etc. from north-west and with Kiratas, Nagas, Cinas, Hunas, etc living at the foothills of Himalayas regions.

The time frame for these struggles is second century B.C.E. downwards. Dr. Raychadhury fixes the date of the present version of the Valmiki Ramayana around/after second century C.E
The Yamas, Kamvojas, Gandharas, Kiratas and Barbaras were mentioned together as northern tribes at (12,206).
In the Krita age, they were nowhere on earth (meaning Ancient India). It is from the Treta age that they have had their origin and began to multiply. When the terrible period came, joining Treta and the Dwapara, the Kshatriyas, approaching one another, engaged themselves in battle.---Another group comprising Andrakas, Guhas, Pulindas, Savaras, Chuchukas, Madrakas were also mentioned along with the first group.

In the Shanti Parava section, the Yavanas are grouped with the Kambojas, Kiratas, Sakas, and the Pahlavas, etc. and are spoken of as living the life of Dasyus (slaves). The Manusmriti lists the Yavanas with the Kambojas, Sakas, Pahlavas, Paradas, etc. and regards them as degraded Kshatriyas (members of the warrior cast).

Brihat-Katha-Manjari of Kshmendra informs us that king Vikramaditya had unburdened the
sacred earth of the Barbarians like the Shakas, Kambojas, Yavanas, Tusharas, Parasikas, Hunas etc. by annihilating these sinners completely.

Hatred against tribes beyond the kingdoms of Aryavarta in Mahabharata:

The Yavanas, the Kiratas, the Gandharvas, the Cinas, the Savaras, the Barbaras, the Sakas, the Tusharas, the Kankas, the Pathavas, the Andhras, the Madrakas, the Paundras, the Pulindas, the Ramathas, the Kamvojas were mentioned together as tribes beyond the kingdoms of
Aryavarta. The Aryavarta-kings had doubts on dealing with them. (12,64)

The most humiliating and demeaning name given to Kirat people in the southern
parts of Himalayan range (Gangetic plain and its vicinities) as expressed in Hindu mythology),
was "Rakshyasha", who were bravely fighting against the Indo-Aryan invasion, for the protection of their lands and self existence (Rakshya + Yasha = Rakshyasha). They started calling them "Rakshyasha"(demon) exaggerating with fantasy and portraiting  them as the most most cruel
 people in the world is proven here from the Mahabharata text is one example.
Yakkha belongs to the Kirat family. It is claimed that the ethnonym "Yakkha" as per the conqueror Aryan's Sanskrit grammar had been spelled in the Aryan-Hindu mythologies as "Yaksa-sh"

Hence the Yakkha(Yasha) who were protecting(Rakshya) of their land were label "Rakshyasha" by
 the Indians.

And the territory of Yakshas(Yakkha) is mentioned as the region surrounding the Kailasa
 mountains and Manasa lake (Tibet) in the Himalayas.
In Section 3:152 describes Pandava Bhima's expedition to this territory:-
"Bhima saw in the vicinity of the Kailasa cliff, that beautiful lotus lake surrounded by lovely woods,
and guarded by the Rakshasas." referring to the Kiratas, Cinas, Sakas, Nagas, Sabara, Yavanas who were all fighting against the Indo-Aryan invasion.

This shows that all the people of Nepal who are referred to as KIRATAS in
ancient times have fought against the Indian invasion for the protection the lands and self existence. Hence my dear fellow Nepalese brothers and sisters, if you love your motherland, time has Again come to "Rakshya" our "Bumi" (protect our motherland) against the real Rakshas.
If these Indians can call us "Rakshas" and with all the demeaning words there is, so can we.

Wake up folks before it would be too late. We need to internationalize this issue.
Hope each and everyone of you can spread this issue to your friends in colleges and communities where ever you may be living.


Jai Mahadev, jai Nepal
