Get your facts right dude. The gokuls and the mahispals were the first rulers of Nepal. Forgot the specific name though. Not Yalambar. Haha "illegally" is funny.

well Commando you need to read the pre-historic of Nepal before you start to make a comment.
You need to show strong evident and backup cases which sadly you do not have any or it will become a JOKE!
Well i been reading and doing research on Nepal pre-historic time. Not many books are written or
published in Nepal regarding Nepal pre-historic era but many foreign scholars have actually studied it, did research and have penned down their findings.
The two books i am reading right now are ,
KIRATA-JANA-KRTI by Suniti Kumar Chatterji (1951)
and
The Kiratas in Ancient India by G.P Singh(1992)

The books said the history of Nepal evolve through  two Races (Aryan and Kirat) coming to Indian-SubContinent in pre-historic times.
In Nepal, Kiratis are the Indigenous people having settle along the Himalayas regions first.
The Aryans later having coming from India meets the Kiratis and the two civilizations plays
an important role's in shaping history and culture of India,  in which Nepal becomes the center of these two civilizations.

The Kiratas in Vedic Literature.
--------------------------------

    The name Kirata is for the first time found in the Yajurveda (Sukla Yajurveda, Vajasaneya, XXX, 16;
also Krsna Yajurveda, Taittiriya Brahmana, III, 4,12,1).
In connexion  with the Purusa-medha or 'Man-Offering' sacrifice, where a list of all kinds of human beings and animals symbolically or figuratively offered to the gods as sacrifice is given, we find the following passage:--

       guhabhyah Kiratam; sanubhyo Jambhakam; paravatebhyah Kimpurusam
which upon translation will read 'A Kirata, for the caves; a Jambhaka (long-toothed man?) for the slopes;
a Kimpurusa (an ugly man, a wild man, an ape?) for the mountains.'

Then in the Atharvaveda (X,4,14) we have a reference to a Kirata girl (Kairatika) who digs a herbal remedy on the ridges of the mountains:--

       Kairatika kumarika saka khanati bhesajam:
       hiranyayibhir abhribhir girinam upa sanusu.

'The young maid of Kirata race, a little damsel, digs the drug:
Digs it with shovels wrought of gold on the high ridges of the hills.'
                                                                              (Translation by R.T.Griffith.)

    "Macdonell and Keith have the following note in their Vedic Index on Kirata:
'Kirata is a name applied to a people living in the caves of the mountains, as appears clearly from the dedication of the Kirata to the caves in Vajasaneyi Samhita (also Taittiriya Brahmana), and from the reference to a Kirata girl, who digs a remedy on the ridges of the mountains.
The  Manava Dharma-sastra regards the Kiratis as degraded Ksatriyas (ref. X, 44).'
When a non-Aryan or foreign people is describes in an old Indian text as being of degraded Kshatriya origin,
there is always an implication that they were, to some extend at least, advanced in civilisation or military organisation". -- Suniti Kumar Chatterji (KIRATA-JANA-KRTI)



    "The allusions to the separate family of the Kiratas (Kirata Kula) in some of the Brahmanas also
indicate that they were the original inhabitants of India. Relying on the information supplied in the
Vedic Samhitas and Brahmanas herein referred to it has been correctly stated that the name Kirata was
applied to the aboriginal hill folk. They were the class of people, who inhabited the woods and the caves of the mountains
and supported themselves by hunting. They were barbarous non-Aryan tribes representing the degraded race." --G.P Singh (The Kiratas in
Ancient India)

    The book also mentioned that Yalambar was the first King of Kirati civiliations and finds a reference in the epic Mahabharata.
In the chronicle of Bansawali,  William Kirk Patrick mentions that the Kirat rule existed from about 900 BC to 300 AD. During
this long period altogether 29 Kirat Kings ruled over the country. It is the longest dynasty rule in Nepal recorded.

Commando tell me any Nepal King since epic Mahabharta time or in Vedic book that is connected with Nepal.
That's why i said he is the Greatest Nepali King having been feature in epic Mahabharta.
Too bad very little information is found about Nepal's pre-historic times in Nepal because all the previous Nepali government
did not want to bring up the past for they were ignorant and biased.

 Luckily many scholars are doing the research now and many new articles has been published such as
Bharavi's Poem Kiratarjuniya or Arjuna's Combat with the Kirat by  Bharavi, Carl Cappeller (Translator)
    * Publisher: Kessinger Publishing Company
    * Pub. Date: July 2007


P.S i have still plenty of readings to do dahling. So i be back soon.

OMFG! there goes the friggin history lectures again! Can't you guys opine without having to brag about your intelluctualism? Makes me feel 'inferior' ;)

That being said, I think a democracy would be better for us because we havent tasted its benefits yet. Nopes, we've only seen what it can do for other countries and expected the same to happen to us once we declare ourselves to be one. But we haven't done any hardwork.

It doesn't happen over night. The journey of a thousand miles start with a single step. And you will know when you're going in the right direction.

Ahile ta totally wrong direction ma gai rachu hami :(.

My dear brothers, sisters and friends. Call me whatever you wish. Maybe i might have preach racial theme BUT you guys actually practise it.

“I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant.”
While
“An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out.”

IGNORANT was the FACTS of Life with all our previous Nepal government. Maybe it was due to
their ignorant or with self-centered intention, which they were busy writing their history page by page while
the old pages was ignored and trashed away so the the Nepalese would not have to witness the full
history of Nepal, i.e the history of Nepal would thus be lost along with their roots and culture.

Anyway coming back from my readings i have become more "Learned" than yesterday or all my past years regarding
the roots and history of Nepal.
This is what i find after reading these hard to find articles.
Before Aryan came into Indus valley, there are some records that Kiratis were already living in many regions as of India as Tribals, but their main stronghold was the mountains regions including foothills now
Nepal/Assam and its surrounding regions which was the center for Kirat civilization (which i will further illustrate later after i done more readings and research.)

This is supported by the script written below:

The Kiratas in the Mahabharata and Other Ancient Works:
-----------------------------------------------------------

    From the Yajurveda onwards, the mountain regions of North and North-eastern India --- the Himalayas particulraly, are well attested as
the abode of the Kiratas. In the Mahabharata, the Kiratas are dwellers in the Himalayas regions, particularly in the Eastern Himalayas. Bhima
in his conquering tour meets the Kiratas in the east after leaving the Videeha country:

            Cf. Sabhaparvan, 26 32:----

        Vaidehasthas tu Kaunteya Indra-parvatam antikat:
        Kiratadhipatin sapta vyajayat tatra Pandavah

which upon translation is:

(Then the Pandava hero, O son of Kunti, coming to the Vaideha land close to Indra Mountains, defeated the seven Kirata rulers'.)

    In addition, they are found also in the North-west when Nakula marches in that direction. The following verses from the
Sabhaparvan of the Mahabharata (Sabha, 52, 8-10: quoted by Kaliprasanna Sen, Vidyabhushana, in his edition of the Raja-mala,
Tripura Chronicle, Vol. I, p. 169) are clear about the home of the Kiratas, and make mention of some of their ways:---

        ye parardhe ca Himavatah suryodaya-girau nrpah,
        Karuse ca samudrante Lauhityam abhitasca ye
        phala-mulasana ye ca Kiratas carman-vasasah
        krura-sastrah krura-krtas tamsca pasyamy aham prabho
        candanaguru-kasthanam bharan kaliyakasys ca,
        carma-ratna-suvarnanam gandhanan caiva rasayah

"Those  kings who are on the other half of the Himalayas and in the mountains of the east (Sun-rise mountain) in Karusa by the end (edge) of the sea, and
beside the Lauhitya (Luhit or Upper Brahmaputra river), those who are moreover Kiratas living on fruits and roots, clad in skins,
fierce with their weapons, cruel in their deeds, them I saw, O Lord: and loads of sandal and agallochum wood, and of black pepper, and masses
of skins and gems and gold and of aromatic shrubs."
(For Karuse ca samudrante there is variant reading varisena samudrante: Dr. Moti Chandra in his Geographical and Economic Studies in the
Mahabharata:  Upayana Parva, U.P. Historical Society, Lucknow, 1945, pp. 84-85, seeks to identify this Varisa with Barisal District in East Bengal,
which is by the sea: an identification which is quite likely to be correct.)

Religion/Practice of Kirat:
--------------------------

Kirat religion is not Hindusm. It is Kirati Mundhum. This practice is also known as Kirat Veda, Kirat-Ko Veda or Kirat Koved.
According to some scholars, such as Tom Woodhatch, it is a blend of animism (e.g., ancestor worship (Sumnima/Paruhang), Saivite Hinduism and Buddhism which can be categorize as Shamanism.
Mundhum or Kiranti Veda (also known as Peylan) is the religious scripture and folk literature of the Kirat people of Nepal, central to Kirat Mundhum.
Mundhum means "the power of great strength" in the Kirati languages. The Mundhum covers many aspects of the Kirat culture, customs and traditions that existed before Vedic civilisation in South Asia.
The Mundhum commands that the priests say that the Kirat family members used to be called "Devas".
The Mundhum for each tribe consists of customs, habits, rituals, traditions, and myths passed down from the Kirati tribe's ancestors.
The Mundhum also distinguishes each Kiranti tribe from other Kiranti and non-Kirantis as well.

Kirats shamanism and their rituals are mostly related to the worship of mother nature and ancestors. Almost all sacred rituals are performed by nakchong, the kirat priest.
Their supreme deity Tagera Nyingmaphuma is personified as Lord Shiva.
Many followers wear a tilak on the forehead, as in Hinduism, when they recite their sacred text, the Kiranti Veda.

For additional support, you can link to this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirant_Mundhum

Regarding Tagera Nyingmaphuma, i will give more support in later......!!

Tagera Nyingmaphuma is personified as Lord Shiva
and  is  mentioned as Kiratas/tribal God in Ancient Works:
-------------------------------------------------------------

The scrips in Mahabaharata depicts this as i extract some paragraphs from the book and quote it down:

"We should recall that as early as the Mahabharata we find the legend of Siva Mahadeva, the Great God, taking the guise of a Kirata,
with Uma with him as a Kirata woman, to test Arjuna when he was practising religious penance in the Himalayas: a legend which may have
its germs in the following vers of the Sata-rudriya section of the White Yajurveda (XVI, 7):

                       Asau yo vasarpati nila-grivo vilohitah
                       utainam gopa adrsrann vdaharyah: sa drsto mrdayati nah

May he who glides away, whose neck is azure, and whose hue is red, he whom the herdsmen, whom the girls who carry water have
beheld, may he when seen be kind to us." (Trans. by Ralph T. Griffith, Benares, 1899.)

And this is quite a high exaltation of the status of the non-Aryan hill people, the Kiratas, when the Supreme God with his consort was
made to take up the guise of a Kirata mountaineer and his wife.

The book, KIRAT-JANA-KRTI also mentioned that in the famous episode of Siva meeting Arjuna as Kirata, accompanied by Uma also in the
guise of a Sabari or a Kirati woman, in the Himalaya regions, when Arjuna went there to propitiate Siva by his austerities with a view to
obtain the boon of the Pasupata weapons from the Great God himself, as narrated in the Kirata-parvan section of the Vana-parvan of
the Mahabharata.
A definite indication of what the Kirata people were like is given also. They were 'gold-like', i.e., yellow in colour (and not dark or black
like the Dasas and Dasyus and the Nisadas and other pre-Aryan peoples of the plains.) Cf. the following passages:---

                  Kairatam vesam asthaya kancana-druma-sannibham
             "Taking up a Kirata resemblance, like unto a tree of gold" (IV, 35, 2);

                  dadarsatha tato jisnuh purusam kancana-prabham
              "Then the Victorious One (Arjuma) saw a Man, shining like gold" (IV, 35, 17);

                 na tvam asmin vane ghore bibhesi kanaka-prabha
              "O thou that art shining like gold (addressing Siva in the form of Kirata), dost thou not fear in this terrible forest" (IV, 35, 18).

It is therefore many scholars also have concluded that Siva was the God of Kirata and later it was Aryan who took Siva as their own God
and Hindunized/Aryanized it so basically Siva is seen more as Hindu God than tribal God.

As one scholar said "To begin with, the kipat system and the mundhum are traditionally uncontested metaphors of Kirata culture. Similarly the worshiping of
 Tagera Nyingmaphuma or the supreme deity was a pan-Kirata symbol. But with the obilition of kipat system and the simultaneous influence
of Hinduism, these symbols have lost their strength considerably. Since Tagera Nyingmaphuma, is often personified as Shiva, who is not
only considered tribal God but also one of the Hindu pantheon, he  cannot be claimed by the Kiratas as their exclusive God" ---Politics of Culture: A Study of Three Kirata Communities in the Eastern Himalayas), 1999 by Tanka Bahadur Subba

In addition,
while doing my research i found another word for Kirat and i have copy and paste the paragrah below:

 "The Kirat (Sanskrit: किरात) mentioned in early Hindu texts are the tribals or Adivasi of the land. They are mentioned along with Cinas (Chinese).
Kiratas are believed to be of Tibeto-Burman origin. Ghatotkacha of Mahabharata fame (Son of Bhima) was a Kirata Chieftain.

In Yoga Vasistha 1.15.5 Rama speaks of kirAteneva vAgurA, “a trap [laid] by Kiratas”, so about BCE Xth Century, they were thought of as jungle trappers, the ones who dug pits to capture roving deer. The same text also speaks of King Suraghu, the head of the Kiratas who is a friend of the Persian King, Parigha.

The most famous Kiratas in Hinduism are the Kiratra avatar of Shiva, Lord Buddha and sage Valmiki, writer of the Ramayana."

More Kiratas from the Mahabharata and Ramyana
-----------------------------------------------------

    In the Mahabharata, the Kiratas are mostly associated with foreign peoples, like the Yavanas, the Sakas, and the Pallavas, who belong
to the west; but especially with the Cinas or the Chinese.
Bhagadatta, the King of Pragyotisadhipah or Western Assam who took part in the Kurukshetra battle; was definitely described as a ruler over Mlecchas or Non-Hindu barbarians, which time again and again Kiratas was label as barbarians by the Aryans in their texts.

Quote from the book reads    "Pragjyotisadhipah suro mlecchanan adhipo bali"
                                                           upon translation is
                                ( "the powerful hero, the lord of Pragjyotisa, the lord of Mlecchas")

And in the Sapha-parvan (26, 9, quoted) in the Raja-mala, I, p. 84) we find---
        
                                 sa Kirataisca Cinaisca vrtah Pragjyotiso bhavat,
                                 anyaisca bahubhir yodhaih sagaranupa-vasibhih
                                                       upon translation is
"The Pragjyotisa (King) was there, surrounded by Kiratas and Cinas (Chinese) and with many other warriors dwelling by the coast of the sea.

Elsewhere (In Stri-parvan, 23), Bhagadatta is described as having his seat among hills (esa sailalayo raja Bhagadattah pratapavan "here is the mighty King Bhagadattah whose home is in the hills").

Mahabharata, V.584, ASB. edition, II, 1836) quote:
            
            Bhagadatto mahipalah senam aksauhinim dadau: tasya Cinaih Kirataisca
                                    kancanair iva samvrtam, babhau balam anadhrsyam karnikara-vanam yatha.
                                                             upon translation is
"The Cinas and Kiratas soldiers appeared to be in gold: their troops had the appearance of a forest of Karnikaras(with yellow flowers)"



The Ramyana also mentiones the golden colour of the Kiratas: thus,

                                     Kiratasca tiksna-cudasca hemabhah priya-darsanah,
                                     antar-jala-cara ghora nara-vyaghra iti srutah
 (Kiskindhya-Kanda, 40, 27,28, quoted by N.N. Vasu in Social History of Kamarupa, Calcutta, 1922, p.92)

                                                  upon translation is
"The Kiratas, with hair done in pointed top-knots, pleasant to look upon, shining like gold, able to move
under water, terrible, veritable tigermen, so are they famed".          

Elsewhere The Ramyana speaks of other Kiratas who lived by the sea and were ferocious, and ate raw fish though i have not found the ancient scripts on this (yet)!



From the Sabha-parvan of the Mahabharata (30, 26-28):

            vasu tebhya upadaya Lauhityam agamad bali:
            sa sarvan mleccha-nrpatin sagaranupa-vasinah
            karam aharayamasa ratnani vividhani ca
            candanaguru-vastrani mani-mauktika-kambalam,
            kancanam rajatan caiva vidrumam ca mahabalam

                                upon translation is
"The powerful warrior receiving wealth from them went to the Lauhitya river.
He (was victorious over) all the Mleccha Kings dwelling by the shore of the sea,
and obtained tributes from them--gems of various sort, sandalwood, agallochum, cloths, gems (rubies), pearls
and blankets, gold, silver and very hard lapis-lazuli."

This gives insight of the Kiratas dwelling in the hills and mountains of the east were supposed to be rich in gold and silver and gems they
obtained from these mountains, and they were experts in making cloth of various kinds as described in the above
passage.

"The above passages, and some others quoted by Sylvain Levi (in his work on Nepal) will give idea about the Kiratas, the place where
they lived, their appearance and their ways of living, round about the time of Christ, when the Mahabharata was in the midst of its
expansion as an encyclopaedia work.
The ways of the Kiratas were simple. They lived mostly on fruits and tubers, dressed themselves in skins, wore their hair in a pointed
top-knot, and were a pleasant-looking people, but terrible with their weapons, and cruel in war.
Their yellow complexion evidently marked them off from other Indian peoples". ----Suniti Kumar Chatterji (KIRATA-JANA-KRTI)

you are right Raju161 but we don't have lot of knowledge about these defeat, how were they defeated,
and what happens to them and their descendants.
We also need to know the Kiratas contribution in every aspects of life in Ancient India and Nepal thoroughly
and their influences and religious practices in the early period
Raju not much of Kiratas has been mentioned, published or studied in Nepal. Or it can be simply correct to say
it has been neglected.
As you know without tracing back the Nepal roots and origins, we will lose a great deal of  history and culture
of Nepal and its people.
Foreign influence results and your identity will be eradicated once and for all.

Now that is sad. Very sad i have to say.

That's why i am doing research on Kiratas, their contributions to the history and culture of India and Nepal.

There are many scholars who are also doing this research and some of it have been published recently are;

While still......doing my research  on KIRATAS, i came across this.
What do you readers think about it?
Please let me know cause it is a valuable resource and also let me use as feedback too.

"Legendary kirant tribe in ancient India"

       
Kirant legendary aboriginal inhabitants of The Himalayas. Early
references to the GOLDEN SKINNED kirant in Sanskrit literature portray
them as fearsome skin-clad cannibalistic hunter, skilled in magical
arts. In later Hindu Epics they are described as having their own kings
who allied themselves with Hindu rulers but despised Brahmans. In a
well known Episode from the Mahavarata the god Shiva assumes the guise
of kirata to do battle with the hero arjuna. The kirant have been
associated with the kiranti of Nepal like SUNUWAR, RAI, LIMBU AND
YAKKHA so far, and other tribal groups such as Lepchas,Nagas, etc in India.
KASTEN RONNOW in his long article “kirata” A study on some
ancient Indian tribes published in 1936 has provided a detailed
accounts of the kiratas. The subject is further highlighted in
Encyclopedia prepared by R.N SALETORE, ROBERT has touched on the
subject without giving any details. SUDHAKAR CHATTOPADHYAH had tried to
do justice with the subject concerned through his Important work. R.P.
CHANDRA a celebrated Indian anthropologist and a highly accomplished
scholar of ideology has also made a historical study of a few ancient
Indian tribes by taking a numismatic approach to the problem concerned.


         All of them mentioned about kirant which Is the most ancient tribe in
Indian continent. The more important inscriptions about the ethnic
communities of the region are the PANDUKESHVAR copper plate inscription
or the CHARTERS AND GRANTS OF LALITASURA middle of the 9th centaury A.D
and the grants of PADMA middle of the 10th centaury A.D. Both of kumaon
garwal region. These have been addressed to the kiratas, The khasas,
the Dravidas and others. One of the PANDUKESHVAR inscriptions provided
a glimpse of the kingdom of RAJYA KIRATAS {kumaon and karttikeyapur}.
Sikh guru Nanak himself was born in KIRANTPUR ancient kirant
kingdom in panjab. Classical GREEK AND ROMAN writer were also mentioned
about kirata. The first Greek historian and geographer to speak clearly
of the races of north western India was HECATEUS of miletus {B.C 549 -
486}. In his geographical work the period gees he mentions KALATIAI OR
KALLATIAI along with other tribal people who were living on the
frontier Hills. The KALATIAI can etymologically be identified with
kiratas living on the Upper Indus. People says Indus civilization is
Aryan civilization but in historic, anthropologist and archaeologist
way this civilization was completely belongs to kirata because this
civilization was before 5000 B.C but Aryan start to migrate in Indian
continent only after 1500 B.C from Iran. What they only found in Indus
valley where the civilization was various forms of Statue of GOD SHIVA
kiranti god.


       In addition, some very import CHINESE TEXT are also worthy of mention. The most
ancient text PO-OU-YEO-JING. Translated in 308 AD. Refers to an
appellation VI-TI-SAI, which from the Chinese point of view is an exact
equivalent to the kiratas who were the very popular and doughty warrior
in the Chinese text. They were mentioned as quite similar with Chinese
race. Golden yellowy colour. From Chinese and Japanese point of view
ancient Hindu religion itself was the religion of kiratas because many
god and goddess were used to worship by local tribes before Aryan start
to migrate in Indian continent. Hindu religion only seems borrowed by
Aryans and later claimed their religion adding some other system and
god, goddess. Like ancient Hindu god and goddess {AGNI, BAYU, BIRYE,
BARUN} were already existed before Aryan comes. All the Chinese, French, Arabian, Japanese, venetian travellers
some how they managed to mentioned about kiratas. FA-HIAN{399-414 AD}
Who visited India during Gupta period has made a passing reference of a
kirat. HIUEN-TSANG{629-645 AD} Who visited India during the time of
HARSA, has left behind an elaborate account of India. He was also
mentioned about kiratas saying beautiful people.
 
       In India these kirata people were
unfortunately treated as foreigners but in our study shows that they
have been aboriginals of India and we do not find any reflection of
their foreign origin ancient Indian Literary texts. They were also
known as DASYUS ,they were of KSHATRIYA origin but due to laxity in
moral conduct they were degraded and thus termed as DASAS OR DASYUS by
Aryans.
One of the powerful dasyu king was SHAMBARA. Whom the RIGVEDA
mentions as the greatest enemy of the Aryans. After Fighting for about
forty years. The Aryans defeated shambara. The rajya kirata were
actually ancient kirata tribes of kumaon region who were the descendant
of shambara. These kiratas were always resisting against the invader
and looter Aryans. So as being noble enemy of Aryan they were
appreciated and hated in mixture way of Aryan text book.
