Why 'Magars' are still lagging behind.

Have you ever thought that almost all nationalities have there title attached with their name, like Gurungs write 'Gurung', so is Rai, Tamang, Tharu, Sherpa etc. Or, else they have their strong culture or identity like Bahun, Newars etc.

You might have known what I mean to say, all these are lacking in Magars. How do you know that a person with 'Thapa' title is a Magar or Chettri. Even there is no cultural similarity in the Magars of different region. For example, in Syangja itself, In Northern Syangja few magars strictly follow the Hindu rituals like Yagna and all in their marriage ceremony, however, in Southern part of Syangja they perform 'Dhog Bhet', which has no similarity with Hindu rituals.

Here, what I mean to say is that Like in other Nationality, where they show strong identity, the same is lacking in Magars. May be that could be one of the reason why we still didn't come up strongly. The first thing we need to sort out it is whoever Magar we are whether Rana, Gaha, Baral etc, 'Magar' should be written in our title and other thing is that we need to synchronize our culture, we should not forget our actual, ancestral culture and roots.
