You will be surprised to know that, like the people of Uttarakhand, the Nepali Khas also avoided calling themselves Khas until a few years ago. They had been hiding their Khas identity, but after the implementation of the new constitution in the country, the Khas' desire for their identity has increased. Khas also live in Nepal, India's neighboring country. Nepal was once called the country of Khas. #khas of #Nepal, #Nepali Khas, Khas of Himalaya, Why were the Nepali Khas forced to hide their identity? Why did they initially hide their identity and now proudly call themselves Khas #NepaliKhas? Concept - Dr. Harish Chandra Lakhera. Presentation by HimalayanLog- The language spoken there, Nepali, is also considered a Khas language. The country of Nepal is the result of the efforts of King Prithvi Narayan Shah of the Shah dynasty of Gorkha in the eighteenth century. Nepal is home to communities like the Khas, Newari, Magar, Gurung, Dalit, and Madhesi. You may be surprised to learn that, like the people of Uttarakhand, the Nepali Khas also avoided calling themselves Khas until a few years ago. They concealed their Khas identity. However, after the implementation of the new constitution, the Khas have become increasingly eager to assert their identity. The Nepali Constitution refers to them as Khas Aryans. Within the Khas Aryan castes, only the Bahun (Brahmin), Kshetri, Thakuri, and Sanyasi are recognized. Dalit Khas are not included. However, Nepali historian and anthropologist Dor Bahadur Bist has consistently argued that Nepali Dalits are also Khas. Their features, including facial features, are similar to those of the Khas. However, the term Khas has gained popularity in Nepali identity politics since the 1990s. Previously, the Nepali Khas also concealed their identity. In fact, until the eighteenth century, the Khas did not conceal their identity in Nepal. When asked for their names, they would also say "Khas" along with their own. It is said that after King Jung Bahadur Rana seized power in Nepal, he declared that no one would call themselves Khas, and that Khas would instead call themselves Kshetri (Kshetri, meaning Kshatriya). He believed that Khas were considered socially inferior in India. Therefore, he issued this order to protect Nepalese from humiliation. Thus, the ban on the use of this word in Nepal, considered a Khas land, led to the disappearance of the word "Khas." A period came when Nepalese Khas living in India, from the Darjeeling region, Sikkim, to the northeastern states, and Myanmar, forgot their Khas origins. In western Nepal, even in the areas adjoining Uttarakhand, the word "Khas" came to be considered derogatory. Notably, the Thakur community, the ruling class of Nepal, also refrained from calling itself "Khas."
