"Even today, once again, it is about the 'Ghale Raja' of Liglig Kot
__________________________________________
Even today, once again, writing is being done about the 'Ghale Raja' of Liglig Kot. We have been posting about this for some time now. The gender quote has a special significance in the history of modern Nepal. Drabya Shah conquered Gorkha only after eliminating the 'Ghale Raja' of Liglig Kot. After conquering Liglig Kot, it became easy for Drabya Shah to conquer Gorkha. Drabya Shah established the Shah dynasty in Gorkha by overthrowing the then 'Khadka Magar King' at midnight on Tuesday, September 8, 1616 BS, and his descendants expanded the Gorkha kingdom and made a quilt in today's Nepal. That Shah dynasty was also abolished on May 28, 2008.
Nowhere in this context have historians written clearly what the name of the Ghale king was or whether he was a Magar or a Gurung. Even if they don't really care about it, it could happen. Therefore, both the Gurung and Magar communities of Nepal have been considering the 'Ghale Raja' of Liglig Kot as their own community. We have also discussed this with two young journalists and researchers conducting field studies: Manoj Gharti Magar and Ranu Lamichhane Thapa Magar. We do not have any archeological inscriptions, copperplates or copperplates written about the 'Ghale Raja' of Liglig Kot. There is only what is written in the genealogy. Now let's talk about it briefly.
1) When analyzing on the basis of Historical Linguistics, it is necessary to discuss the word 'Liglig'. The word 'liglig' means 'good', 'charming', 'beautiful', 'clean', 'clear', 'smooth'. Concerned Adivasi tribes name any place in their language at the beginning. So there is no doubt that Liglig's name may have remained the same.
2) Now let's calculate or analyze the cultural attributes. Let's start with the story of Nepal's first historical film 'Seemarekha'. The film was made in 2054 BS with the investment of Dal Bahadur Budhathoki Magar and 3 other investors. The film shows a pig being slaughtered in a settlement near Liglig Kot. According to young journalists and researchers: Manoj Gharti Magar and Ranu Lamichhane Thapa Magar, the practice of slaughtering a pig by a Magar priest in Liglig Kot is still going on today. The custom of slaughtering a pig's calf in place of its goddess is a fundamental custom of the Magar people. We have to talk about Bajrayana, that is, Tantric Buddhists. While worshiping 'Bajrabhairav' of Gorkha Durbar, a pig's lamb was cut by a Magar priest and offered as a sacrifice, but it is necessary to understand what is done nowadays. The above historical film 'Seemarekha' has succeeded to some extent in conveying the message that the history of Nepal has been written incorrectly and that it should be corrected or now it should be written independently. That is, he has fulfilled his purpose to some extent. However, the two most important nouns used in the film: 'Hang' (King) and 'Bang' (Kingdom) have the exact opposite meaning, meaning 'Hang' is replaced by 'Bang' and 'Hang' is replaced by 'Hang'. In the Magar language, 'hong' means 'king'. But in that film, 'Hong' means 'kingdom'. In fact, according to the language spoken by the Kham-speaking Magars, "Bang" means "flat plain" or "place". In any case, the film manages to convey the message that the producer wants to convey.
3) Now consider the historical records. Towards the end of 1349 BS, the Bikram Sambat 1402, the Muslim Nawab of Bengal, Samsuddin Ilyas, invaded the Kathmandu Valley and destroyed all the temples and idols of the gods and goddesses. Assuming that Pashupatinath's main penis was defiled because it was touched by a heretic, that penis is still in a corner of Pashupatinath's Patangini. Muslims do not touch pigs. In the history of medieval Nepal, it is understood that there were Magar kingdoms everywhere in western Nepal, even if those kingdoms were very small. It is not difficult to understand that the Magar priests have protected their cultural heritage by slaughtering pigs in the temple of their favorite goddess.
4) It is understood that after Dravya Shah established his authority in Liglig Kot, the descendants of Ghale Raja fled to the east. Ghale Magars still live in Udaipur, Khotang, Bhojpur, Dhankuta and other districts. More research is needed. However, it has been heard that a non-governmental committee has been formed to protect and promote Liglig Kot.
