The Nepalis are socially stratified mainly into four “varnas” namely (i) Brahman (ii) Kshyatriya (iii) Baishya and (iv) Sudra. Racially they are divided into Caucasoid and Mongoloid. The Caucasoid and Mongoloid belong to Indo-Aryan and Tibeto-Burmese Linguistic groups. Likewise, Hinduism is the main religion of the Caucasoid. While among the Mongoloid group, some are Hindus, Buddhists and some are animists.
The Brahmins (Bahuns) and Kshyatriyas (Chhetris) are Indo-Aryan Group. Their language is Nepali (Indo-European Language family). The word “Chhetri” is probably derived from Kshyatriyas (Warrior Caste of the Hindu system). These two Indo-Nepalis groups are of Caucasoid origin.
The Shresthas and Pradhans belong to the Newars, are members of the ancient Nepalis group. They are Hindus by religion. Of course, some of them are Buddhists. Their language belongs to the Tibeto-Chinese language family (Himalayan Group).
The Rais are Hindus and belong linguistically to the Tibeto-Chinese language family (Himalayan Group). Together with the Limbus, they are known as “Kirati Group” which most likely has its origin in Tibet. Thus Rais and Limbus have apparently a common origin, but today they live separately.
The group i.e. Limbus/ Subbas is also referred to as Subbas which means Headman or Chief. They correspond to the Rais with whom they form another “Ancient Nepalis Group”, but they are Hindus. Their language belongs to the Himalayan Group of the Tibeto-Chinese Language family. Gurungs are most likely to be one of the old Mongoloid mountain populations of Nepal, which have mixed with Caucasoid immigrants coming from South and which have given up their traditional cultural patterns including religion and language.
The Magars are Hindus by religion. Their language belongs to the Himalayan group of the Tibeto-Chinese family.
The lower six castes Bhujel (Dola Carrier), Damai (Tailor), Kami (Smith), Lohar/ Sunar (Blacksmith), Maji (Fisherman) and Sarki (Cobblers) belong to Indo-Aryan group and their language belongs to Indo-European family and their religion is Hinduism
