Book Description
This book is an enlarged edition of my book "Kirat Itihas" written and Published in 1948 in Kalimpong. Its second edition was published in 1952 in Darjeeling. In compiling this book I have consulted the books of every authority, I have knowledge of, who has written on Kirat people ad their civilization. The European authors like Col. Krikpatric, F. Hamilton, D. Hodgson, Father Guiseppe and Lieut. Col. E. Vansitart, who wrote about the Kirat people of Nepal in 18th and 19th century gave me much help. The Indian authors like late Pandit Rahul Sankrityayan, S.K. Chatterjee and Vagava Datta, who took much interest in publishing the ancient account of Kirat people of Nepal and India, gave me much idea about them. Last of all, my own collection of the old Kirat MSS in Shrijunga or Limbu script and Lapcha or Rong script became the base of this work. In this connection, I thank Mr. R.K. Sprigg, Professor of the school of Oriental and African Studies, London, who very kindly helped me in acquiring the micro film photo of the old Kirat MSS from the India Office Library, London. I also thank to all my friends who very kindly helped me in collecting materials for the composition of this book.

Book Description
Human existence is believed to be incomplete without the enrichment of culture. Some individuals wholeheartedly immerse themselves in their cultural surroundings, while others observe from a distance. The ancient Kirat civilization of Nepal predates any religious texts we have. Unfortunately, their profound cultural wisdom has primarily faded, leading to a disheartening void in our understanding of ancient knowledge. The plight of the indigenous communities in the land nurtured by their toil and sacrifice is a cause for concern. Neglecting the valuable contributions of these indigenous communities in the name of progress leaves us incomplete. Through a thorough anthropological study of the Kirat Limbu community, we've arrived at factual and logical conclusions regarding the questions they've raised. This writer endeavors to share this information, driven purely by academic value and recognition. Recognizing his responsibility, this writer, in the later stages of life, has felt a sense of urgency in preserving the positivity of research. The book is published to document synthesized knowledge based on trustworthy information and data, thereby sharing it with readers. This book is expected to be a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the true essence of Nepali soil, to explore the rich Kirat civilization, its culture, and the intricate tapestry of ethnic issues—best of luck on this enlightening journey.

Book Description
No historical tradition existed in South Asia until the Europeans arrival in the region beginning with Vasco da Gama's arrival in 1498; with an exception that the Moslem rulers had maintained their meticulous chronicles. It was Vincent A Smith, an officer of the Colonial British Administration, who has rightly been called the Herodotus of India, who wrote, ab initio, the first ever history of India. His magnum opus, covering the unchartered vast area from sixth century B.C. to colonial British Empire, a compendious volume, The Oxford History of India was published in 1919. Although Smith's contribution filled a void, he nevertheless totally ignored a section of the population, the Kirati-Mongolians of South Asia and he has not given a reason why he did so. Smith knew who the Kirati Mongolians are and had actually identified not only the Buddha, but the population of the region during the time of Ashok the Great to be like the Gurkhas; after all a Gurkha is a Kirati Mongolian. Following Vincent Smith's lead, all later historians too have simply excluded the Kirati-Mongolians from the region as if they do not matter. This book, therefore is the first ever attempt to assert our place in the history and that is the reason why you want to read it.
