message: 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)

message: 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)
thread_title:  How is a Thakuri different from other Chhetris? 

message: "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)
thread_title:  Questionable statement 

message: 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)

message: 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)
thread_title:  about chhetri surnames.. 

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)

text: 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)
replies: text: 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.

thread_title:  Indian origin? 

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: 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."

message: It needs to be added that Chhetri's are largely known and written as "Chetry, Chetri, Chettri" in India's states of Assam, Sikkim and Gorkhaland/WB. As someone who migrated from Nepal to India 5 generations ago, we have been writing our surname as Chetry. Interestingly, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiran_Chetry also shares my surname.
