@diliprai yeah MaGuRaLi sounds awesome yeah we,re one and have unity

[TheMetalbleeder]

@diliprai No one gives a shit, There is no such shit as MAGURALI we're all NEPALI

[diliprai]

Yeah this is sad. We cannot only blame bahun-chettris government because MaGuRaLI also have help the bahun-chettri government in destabilizing Nepal. MaGuRaLi today no doubt have access to modern education yet still they lack behind because MaGuRaLi have the tendency to do poor in education but do good in other less important stuff such as fashion, biking, showing off, drinking alcohol , etc. MaGuRaLi have become a household for foreign mercenary serving their white master instead of Nepal.

Magar-Gurung-Rai-Limbu (MaGuRaLi) must unify more than ever and build Nepal in time to come. While the rest of the Nepalese were classified as "masine" (slaveable) according to Muluki Ain (Nation Code) of Nepal written in 1854 by Hindu ruler J.B Rana, these 4 group are "namasine" (unslaveable). In order to remove the obstacle(to rule the country with oppression), the Rana government allowed the British to recruit these 4 group as the Gurkhas. The main intention to let them die in foreign land.
