EP 285: Pabitra Kasaa | Learn Nepal Bhasa | Sushant Pradhan Podcast

[@monotonousgambler8378]

The efforts of individuals like him and communities in preserving Nepal Bhasa are truly commendable. Despite the threat of extinction in its written form due to decades of linguistic discrimination under the Rana regime, people have shown remarkable resilience and dedication to their cultural heritage. Individuals have taken it upon themselves to document the language, create educational materials, and promote its use in everyday life. These grassroots efforts have been crucial in revitalizing Nepal Bhasa, ensuring it is spoken, taught, and celebrated by younger generations.

How Rai Limbus Became Gurkhas The Rai Limbus, not the Lepchas, Bhutias, Chettris, Brahmins, Newars, or Tamangs, became the renowned Gurkha soldiers serving in the British Army - and the key reason lies in the Limbus' opportunistic betrayal of both Nepal and Sikkim in order to curry favor with the British invaders. In the early 19th century, as the newly unified Nepalese kingdom under the Gorkha rulers began expanding its territory, including conquering the neighboring kingdom of Sikkim, this brought Nepal into conflict with the British East India Company which controlled much of northern and eastern India. When Nepal's incursions into British-influenced areas escalated, the Company launched an invasion of Nepal in 1814. During the ensuing Anglo-Nepalese War, the British forces encountered fierce resistance from the skilled and determined Gorkha soldiers of Nepal. However, the Rai Limbus, a minority ethnic group in Sikkim, saw an opportunity to betray both their Sikkimese Lepcha and Bhutia countrymen as well as their Gorkha overlords in Nepal. Rather than fighting alongside their Sikkimese or Nepalese neighbors, the Rai Limbus actively assisted the British in their campaign to subjugate the Sikkimese kingdom. They helped the British make Sikkim a British protectorate and forced the kingdom to allow British trade with Tibet. The Limbus also aided the British in annexing the strategically important region of Darjeeling, where the indigenous Lepcha and Bhutia peoples were subsequently treated as second-class citizens. In doing so, the Limbus betrayed not only their Sikkimese neighbors, but also the Gorkhas of Nepal who had previously granted them autonomy and Kipat land rights. The Limbus were opportunists, willing to side with the British invaders against both the Gorkhas and the Sikkimese in order to curry favor and advance their own interests. Furthermore, the British likely saw the Limbus as more malleable and "primitive" compared to the more advanced Lepchas, Bhutias, Newars and Tamangs, which may have further justified the British's use of them against the other ethnic groups in the region. The Limbus' lack of strong historical ties to either Nepal or Sikkim also made them more willing to serve as British proxies in the region. In contrast, the Newars and Khas peoples, who had deep roots in Nepal and shared cultural and religious ties with the Gorkha kingdom, would have been far less likely to betray their fellow Hindus and Nepali brethren. Their refusal to collaborate with the British invaders likely cost them the opportunity to become Gurkha soldiers.

Their refusal to collaborate with the British invaders likely cost them the opportunity to become Gurkha soldiers.Until 1914, the British had primarily recruited Gurungs and Magars into the Gurkha regiments. However, after witnessing the Limbus' willingness to betray both Nepal and Sikkim, the British came to see them as more reliable and malleable proxies that could be used against the other ethnic groups in the region. This is why the Rai Limbus, and not the Lepchas, Bhutias, Chettris, Brahmins, Newars or Tamangs, became the predominant recruits for the Gurkha forces.

Song incroprated newari was great idea.

[@LS-ug3xf]

counting measure for objects is different in Nepal bhasa. It's very similar to counting objects in Japanese and Chinese. Also how we wear things is also said differently. like Tapuli puigu (topi laune), lakan nyagu (jutta laune), lan phigu (luga laune), parsin sinigu (sari laune) 😉

[@suyo2022]

Such are the days that some young newars take pride in not knowing their mother tongue. Its a shame. This dying language is finally seeing some sort of revival. Balen has done some cool work by introducing Nepal bhasa in school's daily curriculum

Newari = Nepali Mainstream So called Nepali = Khas / Gorkha / Parbate Jaslai mainstream ma nepali bhancha tyo bhaneko khas-gorkhali bhasa ho. Karnali ko sinja baja origin bhako 100 years ago Sajha publication ko purano naam gorkha bhasa. prakashini samiti thiyo

[@samitshakya8198]

This concept would be even clearer if one reads a article called "The formation of nation state in Nepal" by Richard Burgart. Back in the day when the British came to Kathmandu valley(Nepal Valley), they began to adress the entire country as Nepal and the national language(Khas Kura/Khas bhasa) as Nepali. That is how Khas kura went on to become "Nepali" during the Rana period.

[@jeewan7269]

Khas bhasa is not Gorkhali bhasa i am from jumla i am quite familiar with pure khas bhasa but thank you guys ❤️

[@samitshakya8198]

@@jeewan7269 Agree with you. The Gorkhali language has been reffered to as "Khas language"in mainstream media while it is not the actual Khas language. Thank you for sharing.

Malai ta devanagari lipi use garnu nai man lagdaina kina bhane yo India sanga thyakkai milcha. Afno desh ko kunai lipi nai nabhako jasto. Nepal bhasa ma about 13 scripts cha... aru bhasa ma ni hola. Tyo sabai prayog nagari devanagari nai kina prayog garnu paryo? Huna ta ranjana lipi lai officially Nepal ko script bhane pani daily use ko lagi it's impossible to write and master it. Prachalit is similar to devanagari and easy to write. So I think it can easily replace devanagari.
