 Kirat area mentioned in the verse

Looking at the history of the language, among the languages ​​with a long written history, Sanskrit is found in the east and Greek and Latin in the west. In order to find history, one has to resort to works written in most of these languages. Mention of Kirat caste and Kirat civilization is found everywhere in Sanskrit literature. But Sanskrit scholars say nothing that No one except Dr. Swami Prapannacharya seems to want to discuss. The present day Nepal is a country within the Kirat civilization. No historian, poet or writer seems to have written about the Kirat civilization, which is so great and glorious. Nepal's history seems to have been built on a bundle of lies. Since every street, stream, hill and mountain here has Kirat language, the names have been Hinduized along with Prithvinarayan Shah's Gurkha expansion campaign and Prithvinarayan's successors have continued to do so till now. As mentioned in the Marutantra Himavat Khanda, the size of Kirat Desh is as follows in the Sanskrit verses.

‘किरातदेशोदेवेशि विन्ध्ये शैले च तिष्ठति ।
काश्मिरन्तु समारश्य कामरुपातु पश्चिमे ।
भोटान्तदेशोदेवेशि मानसेशाच्च दक्षिणे ।
मानसेशा पक्ष पूर्वे चीनदेशः प्रकीर्तित ।
कैलालीशं(तिर) समारश्य सरयुयोनितः परे ।
नगदेशे महेशानि महाचीनानीमिध्यो भवेत ।
नटेश्वर समारश्य योगिन्यन्तं महेश्वरी ।’

According to the verse written in this Sanskrit language, it has been explained how big the Kirat country was. The border of Kirat country extended to Vindhyachal Mountain. It stretched from Kashmir to Kamrupa in the west. It stretched south from what is now Tibet, an autonomous region of China, to Mansarovar. Similarly, in the east, it was from Mansarovar to China. It stretched from the banks of the Kailali or present-day Mahakali River to the then Saryu River in India. Kirat was spread from Nagaland or Nagdesh in India to present day Mongolia. In the southern region, the border was extended to Maheshwari through Nateshwar Yogini in India. What this evidence proves is that in ancient times the Kirat country was spread over half of Asia.

Who are the Kirats?

P.D. Gopal Shivakoti has discovered from his research that Kirat originated from Salpa pond. This is published in his research book Kirat Jati. According to him, Kirat's ancestors were in Salpahong and Ribrihong. They had three sons. Their name is:

The eldest's name is Mukabung

Myla's name is Harakbung

Kancha's name is Ribalbung.

After the death of their father and mother in Salpahong and Ribrihong, the sons moved to their respective areas. The eldest went to Mukabung Chumulung and settled on the other side. Bhote or Tibetan in the polls and Tamang and Gurung in Nepal are considered as the children of the same eldest. Myla's son Harkbung lived on this hill. He also had three sons. His eldest son is Khambu.

His descendants are considered to be all opinion writers. Myla is a Limbu who is considered to be the ancestor of the Limbu people. Kancha Koinch (Sunuwar). The Sunuwar consider him an ancestor. The younger Rebelbung went to Madhes. He also had three sons. The eldest Tharu, Myla Danuwar and the youngest Dhimal are considered. Even if all these Kirat mythologies are considered, it can be proved by looking at the surgeon even in the present situation. Voters are sitting in the polls. Who have now come and settled within the borders of Nepal. They are known as Sherpa, Tamang and Gurung castes. Myla's descendants Khambu, Limbu and Koinch are still found in the hilly geography. Kanchha's descendants Tharu, Danuwar and Dhimal are also found in Madhes. In time, someone may have fallen in India. Their caste may have changed. But the identity of Tharu Danuwar and Dhimal in Nepal is still there.

Modern Kirat history

Among the founding castes of Nepal, the Kirat caste is one of the most important castes in history. With the exception of a few ancient historians and some foreign researchers, modern Hindu historians do not seem to be interested in Kirat history and civilization. Because, they seem to have tried to prove the historian by writing hymns and chakdi of Hindu rulers. They have written about the rulers and their castes without writing about what has happened in history. The same Chamchagiri has claimed to be a historian. Western thinker Michel has said ‘Truth is determined by power’. Similarly, the so-called historians of Nepal have misled the world by covering up the truth and exposing untruths by praising their religion, caste and ethnicity. Now it has become necessary to rewrite the history of Nepal. And this remains the main task of the current identity and truth-seeking dignitaries. The record of how long and by whom the Kirats ruled Nepal is given in the history of Nepal as follows: Gopal Raj genealogy, Wright genealogy, Kirkpatrick genealogy and history publication. According to the Gopalraj genealogy and the Kirkpatrick genealogy, it is mentioned in this way.

The last Kirat land

According to the 'Marutantra Himakhanda', half of Asia was Kirat. With the development of time, many castes have forgotten that they are the people of Kirat caste or civilization. Until a few years ago, the land east of the Kathmandu Valley was called Wallo Kirat, Manjh Kirat and Pallo Kirat. Old records of some government offices contain Wallo Kirat, Majh Kirat and Pallo Kirat. It also proves that the address of the educational certificate of former Chief Election Commissioner Bhojraj Pokhrel is written as Manjh Kirat. This was debated by the presence of two-thirds of the Adivasis in the first Constituent Assembly. However, as the leadership was dominated by Hindu upper caste people of all parties, the Constituent Assembly was dissolved without drafting a constitution, devaluing the identity. In the second Constituent Assembly, the presence of Adivasis was very low. And the name and numbering of the states was done on the basis of Mahendrapath so that the constitution would be made on fast track. Therefore, Kirat civilization was insulted again.

Castes claiming Kirat

Kirat civilization is considered to be one of the oldest civilizations. How many generations of human beings have spent in the forests and caves and descended to this so-called modern age with great sacrifice and penance. They say that the earth inhabited by humans is 50 million years old. It is divided on the basis of age. Those past times have been divided into Satya Yuga, Dwapar Yuga, Treta Yuga and Kali Yuga. Among them, the present age is considered as Kali Yuga. The total age of Kali Yuga is 432,000 years. Only 5,000 years of Kali's life have passed. Evidence of the passage of 5,000 years of the Kali Yuga is considered to be the work of the Mahabharata in particular, and the beginning of the Kali Yuga is believed to have taken place from the day when the five Pandavas handed over their grandsons. The official scriptures are the Vedas and the Mahabharata. Even at that time, Kirats were found everywhere. Vedabyas has written in his biography that my birth is only Arya and I was brought up by all Kirats. This research was conducted by Dr. Swami Prapannacharya has done. Based on this, it is easy to estimate how many Kirats there were. The intervention of Hindus and the conversion of Bon Kirats to Padmasambhava or Guru Rinpoche converted them to Buddhism. The lower castes living in all religions and living in Wallo Kirat, Manjh Kirat and Pallo Kirat are called Kirats.
