I fully agree with Nalapani and Stiffler.. i couldn't help but notice that a lot of times Basnyats are asked if they were Newars or mongolians based on their feature which does not resemble rajisthanis. I also do not think that all chhetries were downgraded from brahmans. thank you Nalapani for your good research. i would like to ask you to write a book if not research  paper or an article on this matter. there are lots of confusion in chhetry families specially Basnyats about their origin, most often brainwashed to think that we were downgraded caste from bahuns when they married a lower caste. thanks again. also i was wondering what would you say about the wekepiedia information about basnyats, specially khaptadis . i don't believe it is fully true beacuse khapatids are almost lebelled as not so pure basnyats, but i have no way to reaearch and find out either.
