About

In an interview, Limbu argued that most other ethnic groups in Nepal have their own specific geographic region where they are native to and cited that Limbus and Rai are from the east, Sunuwar, Tamang, Newar, Gurung, and Magar in the middle hills, and Sherpa communities in the higher Himalayas and questioned where a specific region existed for the Bahun and Chhetri people, suggesting instead that they entered the region from the far-western hills of Kumaon and Garhwal.
