ReplyDeleteनरु भाई, प्रसङ्शायोग्य फोटो अनी खोजी गरेकोमा धन्यवाद छन्त्याल जातिको बारेमा। आशा छ आउँदा दिनहरुमा पनि अझै प्रगती हुने नै छन, अग्रिम शुभकामना। विकिपेदियामा छन्त्याल जातिको परिचय पाउदा गौरबान्बित छु तर अझै धेरै सामाग्रीहरु प्रकाशित हुनेछन भन्ने कुरामा पनि आशा भरोसा छ। विकी को बारेमा गरेको उदाहरणीय मेहनतको लागि भाईलाई बिशेष धन्यवाद।

ReplyDeleteGood to see the blogs about our cast and the cultures, but I think we need to explain more details as much as we can/know about the foot print of our older/grandparents, which can be easily understandable by everyone…(we need to find out the truth and easiest way to teach to every Chhantyal about the history)
