"Rai is the family of Kirat or Kiratas confederation that includes the Limbu, Yakkha and Sunuwar ethnic groups of Nepal. They were the earliest inhabitants of Nepal. Actually nobody knows when they came into Nepal because these people are mentioned in ancient religion book of Hindu like Veda, Puranas, and Ramayana and Mahabharata Epics. These people are also mentioned in ancient Greek history, Chinese history and Holy book of Sikh Guru Nanak. Dhimal, Hayu, Koch, Thami, Tharu, Chepang, and Surel ethnic groups also consider themselves to be of Kirati descent. In Sanskrit, Kirata means native of the land with "kiram atati bhramati yah" or one wandering over the forests. The term 'Nepal' is first found in 'Atharva Parishista' (4th Century BC). The term 'Kirat Desh' or Kirat Country is found in the earlier documents such as Veda and other ancient Hindu texts. In ancient Veda text, the Himalayan region extending from Himachal Pradesh in the west, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Nepal, Assam and Tripura in the east to Chittagong in the south was referred as the "Kirat Desh". The Vishnu Purano states that the chatur-varna or four class social system was absent in the Kirat Desh in the East and the Yavanas(Greek) and Kambojas(Iranian), etc. in the West. This shows that the chatur-varna(4-class system) or caste discrimination only came to exist in Nepal after the arrival of vedic Aryan from India. Kiratas are first mentioned in the Yajurveda (Shukla XXX.16; Krisha III.4,12,1 ...

Who are the Gurkha? The Gurkha are the fame Unit in the British and the Indian armed forces. Gurkha are also serving in the Singapore and Brunei forces. The Gurkha are formed by Indo-Mongoloid men from Nepal namely from Magar, Gurung, Rai and Limbu communities. Neolithic tools found in the Kathmandu Valley indicate that people have been living in the Himalayan region for at least 9000 years. The foremost settlers in this region was the Indo-Mongoloid people who are termed as "Kiratas" in Veda and other ancient literature. In Sanskrit, Kirata means native of the land with "kiram atati bhramati yah" or one wandering over the forests. Kiratas are first mentioned in the Yajurveda (Shukla XXX.16; Krisha III.4,12,1), and in the Atharvaveda (X.4,14), describing them as "mountain people and hunters in the forests and deadly warriors." In Manu's Dharmashastra (X.44) they are mentioned as degraded Kshatriyas, which meant that they were considered to be of advanced civilization, but outside the ambit of Brahminical influence. Kiratas are also mentioned in ancient Greek history, Chinese history and Holy book of Sikh Guru Nanak. The Greeks had known the Kirats by the name of Kirhadai. The last remnant of the ancient Kiratite or Cherethite tribe was found recorded in the book of 2 Samuel, 15 - 18. They were a martial tribe during the reign of the Syrian King David in 1049 BC. Kiratas appearance in vedic literature is described as gold-like, ie, yellow in color in skin color with the ...
