The Limbu and Rai: Rewriting the History of Nepal's Darjeeling Hills
The history of the Limbus and Rais in the Darjeeling hills has long been shrouded in myth and misinformation. Contrary to the popular narrative propagated by these groups, there is little archaeological evidence to suggest they were the ancient Kiratas who ruled over Eastern Nepal for centuries.
In reality, the available evidence points to a very different story. The Sen Thakuris, not the Limbus or Rais, were the dominant rulers of Eastern Nepal for over 600 years. Their legacy is evident in the numerous forts, palaces and inscriptions that dot the landscape, such as the Makawanpur Gadi, Udayapur Forts and Bijaypur Durbar. Similarly, the Bhutias (Chogyals) established a strong presence in Sikkim during this period.
Yet, through the patronage of the British in Darjeeling, the Limbus and Rais were able to gain an education and subsequently rewrite the history of the region in a way that placed them at the center. Leveraging the lack of written records among the Nepali populace, who were restricted from literacy under Rana rule, these groups crafted a mythical narrative of ancient Kirata kingships and oral traditions to bolster their claims.
Tellingly, this revised history lacks any substantive archaeological or documentary evidence to back it up. Instead, it relies heavily on unverified "oral histories" that conveniently align with the Limbus' and Rais' desire to be recognized as the rightful indigenous rulers of the Darjeeling hills.
Further undermining their claims is the genetic evidence, which reveals a strong Mongolian ancestry among the Limbus and Rais that distinguishes them from other Mongoloid groups in South Asia. This suggests they were likely refugees who migrated from China's Sichuan province to Tibet during the Mongol conquests, before eventually seeking shelter with the Sen kings of Nepal and the Chogyals of Sikkim in the 17th century.
In essence, the Limbus and Rais, with the aid of the British, have succeeded in rewriting the history of Nepal's Darjeeling hills in a way that erases the legitimate claims of the Bhutias, Khas Aryas and Newars. This biased, Limbu-centric narrative has left historians grappling with a distorted understanding of the region's true past. Only by confronting this revisionist history with the weight of archaeological and genetic evidence can the record be set straight.

The Kirat Movement by Iman Singh Chemjong: A Baseless and Spiteful Endeavor
The Kirat movement, initiated by Iman Singh Chemjong, has long been celebrated as a unifying force among the ethnic groups of Eastern Nepal. However, a closer examination of historical and archaeological evidence reveals that this movement was based on a fabrication, with no substantial historical basis to support its claims. Instead, it was a spiteful and divisive campaign aimed at the Bhutia community. This essay argues that the Kirat movement was founded on falsehoods and had no legitimate grounding in the history of the region.
The Fabrication of the Kirat Identity
The term "Kirat" was strategically adopted by Iman Singh Chemjong to create a sense of unity among the Limbus, Rais, and Yakkhas. However, this identity lacks historical authenticity. Before Chemjong's intervention, these groups did not collectively identify as Kirats. The word "Kirat" itself was first used in this context by Rana Bahadur Shah and not by the indigenous communities themselves. Prithvi Narayan Shah referred to the Limbus as descendants of Yehang, not as Kirats. This indicates that the Kirat identity was an artificial construct, imposed for political purposes rather than a reflection of a genuine historical lineage.
Lack of Archaeological Evidence
The historical narrative promoted by the Kirat movement claims that the Limbus and Rais are ancient inhabitants of Eastern Nepal, integral to the region's history. However, there is a glaring lack of archaeological evidence to support this claim. Unlike the well-documented presence of the Sen Thakuri dynasty and the Bhutia Chogyals, which is evidenced by numerous forts, palaces, and inscriptions such as those at Makawanpur Gadi, Udayapur Forts, and Bijaypur Durbar, there are no corresponding sites that can be attributed to Limbu or Rai rule.
No inscriptions, palaces, or forts bear witness to a long-term Limbu presence or governance in Eastern Nepal. This absence of material evidence starkly contrasts with the rich archaeological heritage left by other ruling dynasties in the region, highlighting the lack of historical basis for the Kirat movement's claims.
Genetic and Historical Discrepancies
Genetic studies have shown that the Limbus and Rais possess a high proportion of Mongolian DNA, distinguishing them from other Tibeto-Burman ethnic groups in South Asia. This genetic evidence suggests that these communities migrated from the Sichuan province in China to northern Tibet during the Mongol conquests and later settled in Eastern Nepal in the 17th century. This migration narrative contradicts the Kirat movement's assertion of an ancient and indigenous lineage in Eastern Nepal. Instead, it positions the Limbus and Rais as relatively recent arrivals who sought refuge in the region under the patronage of local rulers, rather than as ancient inhabitants with a long-standing historical presence.
A Spiteful Movement Against the Bhutia Community
The Kirat movement was not merely an attempt to rewrite history; it was also a targeted campaign against the Bhutia community. Chemjong's efforts to foster a unified Kirat identity were driven by a desire to incite resistance and revolt against the Bhutia-dominated Kingdom of Sikkim. This movement was rooted in ethnic animosity and aimed at undermining the Bhutia community's historical and political significance in the region.
The rebranding of the Yakthung Mundhum to Kirat Mundhum was a deliberate attempt to erase the Bhutia community's contributions and presence. By promoting a false narrative of historical dominance, the Kirat movement sought to marginalize the Bhutias and assert an unsubstantiated claim to the region's heritage.
The Kirat movement, as orchestrated by Iman Singh Chemjong, was based on a lie and lacked any legitimate historical foundation. It was a spiteful and hateful campaign against the Bhutia community, aimed at rewriting history for political purposes. The lack of archaeological evidence supporting the claims of ancient Limbu rule, coupled with genetic and historical discrepancies, underscores the falsehoods at the heart of the Kirat movement. It is crucial to critically reevaluate this narrative and recognize the true historical context of Eastern Nepal and its diverse ethnic landscape. By doing so, we can ensure a more accurate and inclusive understanding of the region's history, free from the distortions and biases perpetuated by the Kirat movement.
