Lol.Again a propoganda article by...yes eff me...a bahun.I was about to refute most of his claims,but who is listening.Just a simple facts here:
1) Limbu translates to "archer" or "bearer of bow and arrow".Bow and arrow are very sacred to the Limbus.
2)Limbus are known as "Tsong" in Sikkim.Fact.But calling the 9th century limbu king Sirijunga otherwise is like saying Paresh Rawal is Bhim Rawal ko kaka.
3)Limbus are Yakthung people.Limbu males are callled Yakthugba and females Yakthungma.
4)Gurkha-Limbuwan war is a FACT.
5)Gurkha-Limbuwan treaty is a FACT.
6)Sikkim did at one point try to culturally dominate/influence Limbuwan.But as you see,it didn't happen.Limbus remained true to their culture and did not convert to buddhism.
7)Subba(Limbu) was a title bought like Rana/Shah(Thakuri)
