Talk:Chhetri

Spelling?

Is it really written like "Chhettri" or should it be "Chhetri"? 76.80.9.100 09:48, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Can members of "janjati" martial tribes become Chhetris?

Janjatis (aboriginal mongoloids) like Magar once had kings and politicians, and still have many high ranking soldiers, Generals,political leaders and Ministers. If a Magar follows Chhetri rules about eating and other activities, do they become Chhetri? 76.80.9.100 09:53, 30 April 2007 (UTC) Many rich Magars became Thakuri(Thakur in India)e.g. Shahi,Malla Thakuris of West Nepal.Even Sen dynasty of rulers were of Magar descendents.Sadly,this process left majority of Magars(mass) leaderless and with inferiority complex.

Martial tribes is concept developed by the British Raj to better rule South Asia. Other made up concepts are janjati and chhetris so, if you identify yourself as Chhetri in the census then you become a Chhetri according to the Government. If by Chhetris you mean # Kshatriya then you need to follow its rules and philosophy. If you mean Chhetri from the present social construct then you become one if your Father (Mothers don't count) was a Chhetri. Some might take this to an extreme and you would have to be Chhetri over seven generations on your Father's side in order to be a Chhetri. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.66.193.244 (talk) 09:50, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

The majority khas from mid western and Far western region are still not chettrized, that is they still don't wear Janai or the sacred thread. They have similar surnames like Chhetris but are called Matwali Chhetri or Matwali khas or simply Khas.

Tagadhari Chhetris i.e Janai (sacred thread) wearing chhetris don't like to be associated with these Matwali Khas and dislike being called as Khas. Any sort matrimonial relationships are discouraged between these two communities. They follow same traditions like Chhetris and Bahuns, except that they consume alcohol and eat chicken, which Tagadhari Chhetris don't. Pork consumption is debatable among Matwali Chhetris. Infact, many Matwali form matrimonial relations with other janjatis like Magars and Bhotes, since they all fall out of Hindu varna system. But nowadays many matwali Kshetrys move out of their village and identity themselves as Tagadhari, or pure Kshetrys by conducting upanayan ceremony after hiring a Brahman.

How is a Thakuri different from other Chhetris?

Thakuri are not different caste from Chhetris. They are just a branch of chhetri.

You are wrong. The Thakuri caste existed since the Khas Rajya, but Chettri were just called Khas at that time. The word 'Chettri' is an invention of Jung Bahadur Rana. Your knowledge of history is severely lacking, my friend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2400:1A00:B010:728A:CAB2:9BFF:FE44:B08D (talk) 19:00, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Questionable statement

"Before Nepal was united as a nation over 300 years ago, smaller kingdoms in the region were ruled by kings of various ethnic and caste groups. However, this notion has fundamental flaws and lacks historical as well as ethnographical evidence, thus it is severely disputable among the scholars of the Nepalese history."

So non-aryans or non-Hindus never ruled any small kingdoms that Prithvi Narayan and his successors unified to make Nepal? This seems a little far-fetched! LADave (talk) 09:16, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

It's not far fetched it's not true. We have the Kathmandu Valley which at the time was under the Newari Malla household. Newars are generally thought of as Vaishyas and their ethnicity a mixture of Tibeto-burmese and Indo-aryan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.66.193.244 (talk) 09:42, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Excessive editorializing

On 11/1/2009 A. Baruwal adds a huge amount of editorializing under Kshatriyas Of Nepal ; An Inquest For True Identity. It's difficult to see what point he's trying to make, except he is personally unhappy with the treatment Chhetris/Thakuris/Khas are getting in the press (not necessarily in Wikipedia). Am I the only one who objects to using Wikipedia as a kind of soapbox for this? I'm willing to paraphrase except that I'm not sure what his point is and I'm not sure how to balance it with other POVs. LADave (talk) 16:35, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

about chhetri surnames..

There are alot of chhetri surnames missing in this chhetri wikipedia...some notable chhetri surnames are Bahadur,Basnet,Baruwal,Baniya,khhatri,katuwal/katwal,singapati ect... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.222.126.147 (talk) 14:51, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

You have missed out one of a clan of chettri community.That is the 'Katuwal' Clan.That is also an clan like Thapa,Bist,Karki BrainerVox (talk) 11:49, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Indian origin?

The article now claims Chhetris are of Indian origin, however the children of a Brahman man married to a touchable Janajati woman would be considered Chhetri. If typical Chhetri physiognomies are any indication, this must have happened quite a lot! Chhetris appear intermediate between the strongly Aryan physiognomies of Bahuns and the Tibeto-Burman physiognomies of hill Janajatis. You may hear Chhetris colloquially calling Bahuns "lamo nak", i.e. "long nose". If Chhetri origins were as Indian as Bahun origins, they could hardly make this distinction!

This claim fails the NPOV test. At a minimum it needs to be supported with citations. LADave (talk) 05:26, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

The claim was already cited. I've moved other cites away from the end of the sentence so it's easier to see what citation supports an Indian origin. Please note, the article in fact never made any claims as to what group was "more Indian" than the other to begin with. Your example, as you have presented it, is a fine illustration of original research. If you think the Library of Congress Country Study presents an NPOV problem, you should support your contention with reliable references. JFHJr (㊟) 22:11, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

The Library of Congress online material seems mostly drawn from U. S. Army Area Handbook for Nepal (With Sikkim and Bhutan). It was published in 1964, about ten years after Nepal effectively opened to western scholars. Since then much has been learned and Nepalese scholars are making larger relative contributions; if you will there are checks and balances on western misperceptions.

Attributing Indian origins to Bahuns is not controversial, although some surnames are said to suggest indigenous origin. For Chhetris the picture becomes more complicated. There are several ways to enter this caste. Obviously one way is having nothing but ancestors ultimately tracing to Kshatriyas in India. A second way is as offspring of a Brahman father and any other "clean" caste including Magar or other Tibeto-Burman "hill tribes". Third, the child of a Chhetri father and a woman from these lower but "clean" castes is still Chhetri. Whelpton, op. cit. and Dor Bahadur Bista describe these avenues. Fourth, an arbitrary community can start following Chhetri caste rules (especially in diet), hiring Bahuns to conduct certain rituals and even to write dubious genealogy. Over generations, these claims of Chhetri affinity become plausible to the larger audience. Sharma, 1977 describes this in the Thakkali community. Nepal's Bahuns greatly outnumber prospects for dependable priestly employment. Many are poor subsistence farmers. Whoever pays the fiddler can probably call the tune!

Chhetris remain indo-nepalese in culture and language but mechanisms have long been operating for Tibeto-Burman and perhaps aboriginal diluition of the Indian share of the Chhetri gene pool.

The sentences with cites at the end look just fine. I hope you'll add the cited bits to the article. Thanks for taking the time to cite what you were referring to! Cheers! JFHJr (㊟) 23:15, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

You might think so, but saying anything except the purest Rajput blood flows in Chhetri veins doesn't sit well with some. To be fair, the problem isn't just with Chhetris. Magars isn't exactly encylopedic. Rajput used to be far worse but has been cleaned up. Maybe better to let this material sit a week and see what others have to say before going prime-time. LADave (talk) 08:15, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Adding up quotation from some propagandist books like the Pragyan R Sharma, you have really not stepped up to the point. Chhetri are born from Kshatriya (warrior) of Indo-Aryan heritage who travelled to Khas Kingdom from Persia or Middle East. At Khas Kingdom, Khas divided to Bahun and Chhetri because the term Bahun and Chhetri is post Khas period. So, a Nepalese Chhetri is an ancient Khas not a yellow skin or an Indian lowlander. Certainly some Indian Kshatriya like Chauhan, Tandan and Rathour are now Pahadi Chhetri and Thakuri but Thapa, Basnyat, Khadka, Karki, Katawal are purest Khas progenies. Only Kshatriya like Chauhan have entered Chhetri domain and are now intermarried with common Chhetris. Others can't be Chhetri. Don't make judgement on the basis of Modern day second third generation Mixed racial paternal Chhetris. It is after this new generation that has increased mixed marriages. Else look at the portraits of Thapa, Pande, Basnyat, Kunwar leaders, you will now the Khas Chhetri origin. Airkeeper (talk) 19:00, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

Khadka, thapa, Karki etc have many sub groups and some of them legit associate their ancestry with Indian Rajputs, through their vanshvalis, like Bagale Thapa, Sripali Basnyat, Khaptadi( basnyat - bist - khadka - budhathoki) , Mudula Karki, Punwar (Khadka - Thapa - Bist), Chauhan, Dangi, Katwal etc have associated themselves with vedic vanshavalis claiming vedic kshatriya origin.

Only after 1990s when identity politics started taking its extreme form in Nepalese politics, have these Chhetris started denying any links to Mainland Rajputs, only to prove their ancient settlement. Bhishma089 (talk) 16:19, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Discussion

User Damien2016 Discuss your theory here. Sunil Chhetri a modern day man as a result of intercaste marriages in Some Mongoloid region like Darjeeling and North East India, does not prove Chhetri of Mongolian descent. In that region many Brahmins and Kshatriyas of Aryan descent both Nepali and Indian has also fallen into Mongoloid feature.For eg Mamta Banerjee CM of West Bengal has heavy Mongolian feature but is a paternal Bengali Brahmin. This doesn't prove whole Bengali people to be Mongolian group. Such examples talks about modern day results and not of the origin. For e.g., Gurmit Singh, an Indian paternal Panjabi descent Singaporean citizen, has heavy Mongolian features due to modern day marriages and not of ancestral origin. Gurmit Singh doesn't prove all Panjabis of Mongolian descent. So, Chhetri is Khas Aryan origin people few of who might have gone with Mongolian features due to modern day marriages. Similar is the case of Mongolian looking Bengali and Panjabis. Airkeeper (talk) 02:16, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

The book mentions Bhimsen's ancestor to be Khas Thapa and Bagale Thapa clan of Khas Thapa group. It also mentioned in page =21, Thapas are Khas Chhetri and Magar Thapa. It also tells Kshatriya Khas in first line of page 21. Airkeeper (talk) 09:26, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

It's obvious that sources you provide talks of Bhakti Thapa and analysis on his origin which is simply irrelevant in the topic. Similarly, the house pattern and lifestyle of Magars similar to Chhetri because both paint their house red, which seems out of simple logic to relate both. Last, the picture you provided showed diaspora and not the original native in Nepal and the picture is copyrighted too.

Hagen source

I can only see the Hagen source in snippet view but (a) we need a page number where it is cited in the article and (b) it appears to be some sort of guide for visitors etc and as such would not usually meet our standards of reliability. Couple that to it being used as a source for the varna claims that are so often contentious in caste-related articles and I think we should try to find a replacement. - Sitush (talk) 03:46, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

@Sitush:, Hagen page number 114, states:

The appellation 'Chhetri' is derived from 'Kshatriya', that is to say from the warrior caste of Hinduism.

It is not for the varna claim but it is for origin of the word Chhetri as derivative of Kshatriya. None of the varna claim (including of Brahmins') are acceptable. Hagen also writes in page 114 that Chhetri are originally Khas, an Indo-Aryan group of Far-Western Nepal. Hagen doesn't support varna claim. McDougal p. 9 says

Kshatriya, the order of the warrior castes, and are referred to by the Nepali term Chhetri.

Chhetri is Nepali term for Kshatriya or is derived from it. If you go through Google books by searching "Chhetri Kshatriya", then you will see suitability. 27.34.104.135 (talk) 14:23, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Please add the following:

"Chhetris who inhabited the regions around Kashmir emigrated to the Karnali region through Garhwal and Kumaun during the second or third century of the Vikrama era. these Chhetris lived in villages and subsisted on agriculture. After the death of the Harshavardhana, the last Hindu emperor of India, Kanauj was ravaged by the Kings of Bengal and southern India. The Brahmans of Kanauj, therefore, took refuge with the Chhetri kings of Karnali region. Some Brahmans who had left on a pilgrimage to Manasarovar and Muktikshetra similarly preferred to live under the Chhetri kings who ruled in the region between the Mahakali and Karnali rivers."

Chhetri aka khas are not of indian root. The stone inscription by Damu Pal located at Dailekh dated 981 AD is the first proven relic that uses Nepali khas kura. This fact nullifies all the presumption of Khas immigrating to present day Nepal after Islamic invasion.
