It is a book regarding Magar people. Magar people are an ethnic Sino-Tibetan group of Nepal and northern India whose homeland extends from the western and southern edges of the Dhaulagiri section of the high Himalayas range south to the prominent Mahabharat foothill range and eastward into the Gandaki basin. Present day Magar settlements range from Tanahu District of Gandaki Zone westward to include the districts of Palpa, Argha-Khanchi, and Gulmi in Lumbini Zone; Syangja, Kaski and Parbat in Gandaki Zone; Dolpa in Karnali Zone; Myagdi, and Baglung in Dhaulagiri Zone; Rukum, Rolpa, Piuthan, and Salyan in Rapti Zone; and Dailekh and Jajarkot in Bheri Zone in Nepal.[1]According to Nepal’s 2001 census, 1,622,421 people identified themselves as belonging to the Magar ethnolinguistic group, representing 7.14% of Nepal’s population and making them the largest indigenous ethnic group in the country. According to the 2001 census, 74.6% of ethnic Magar were Hindus and 24.5% were Buddhists and the rest Christian Protestants.
