Tilkumari ko poi, i will enlighten you about MM saying "the smartest of magar are ale and pun". He meant it by ale and pun are more educated than thapa and ranas'. you can see this disparity which is truth too. There is a reason to happen in that. Have u heard of Nepals' first Martyr LAKHAN THAPA. He was the first one to oppose RANA AUTOCRACY and he was the first one to be hanged by Regime at that time. He have formed his rag tag army which defied the rana rulers it was started in Gorkha. This things were catching in its surroundiing places too like tanauh, palpa. The majority of the ppl who participate in this were magars especially thapa and ranas'. Thats why once they were crackdown regime went on further to demolish this two. Like ppl were force to enlist to serve a Queen of England to have a good grip on its colonies. Thats why u will find thapa and rana magar from malayasian peninsula to Island of Jamaica. As u know magar were not allowed to speak their language just of this rebel from Mr. Thapa. Where as Ales' didnt participate, were not in their target zone so they escape this systamatic oppression of targeted ppl. Well by saying that i am not trying to say that others were not denied their basic rights by rana's . what i am trying to point here is these two were targeted more vigorously.As for Pun they live high in mountains so they were not affected by it. Also Pun are the ppl who live near the border of tibet. We know that we have a trade with tibet since history. Thats why u can see Pun have got much more Bzness attitude among magars. As for Mr. CASEY00 yes Bhimsen Thapa was indeed a magar. When Shree Panch Rajendra BB SHAH was living as a sanyasi in kashi, there was a political turmoil in nepal. 2 queens were fighting for power. when it got out of hand it was Bhimsen Thapa who connvinve Sanyasi Maharaj to come back to nepal. While his journey back to nepal. he heard a rumour that there are army ready to capture him. When he heard that news he yelled at Bhimsen Thapa infron to his aides " YO KAMARA KO CHORA LE MALAI MARNA NEPAL MA LIYERA AAYO, YO RAANDI KAMARA KO CHORA LE MALAI BITYAAS PARYO". Here by saying this i am trying to say who have a kamaro pratha in nepal except in magars. I mean at current time it was in magar ppl who were kamara and kamaris'. they used to sold their kids due to poverty. So now u can guess who Bhimsen Thapa is? By the way there is some interesting thing too one of my Granpa ( he is my ganpa cuz of my step brother, whom i love dearly) was told by some priest that if he give him 10 000 gold coin than he will change his gotra and make him rana thakuri since he was rana magar. You know changing all this tidbits and that will change him to rana thakuri bau sahev. Well he didn't accept that and he remained rana magar. well this is all i have to say with peace and love
