Several Gurungs clans, both of the Charjat and Solahjat, are called by a certain 
name in Khaskhura, and by a different one in Gurung Khusa :— 
Dingial is Khaskhura—Kepchen is Gurung Khura. 
Darlami „ Plen ,, 
Chenwari „ Pacharon „ 
Pajji Lem „ Kroko—Lem „ 
Allea is Khaskhura for a clan, whose Gurung Khura name they have forgotten. 
Several clans are no doubt repeated twice, once in Khaskhura and once in 
Gurung Khura, but for facility of reference it is considered best to leave them thus 
alphabetically arranged. 
Magars. —The Magars are divided into six distinct tribes, and no 
more, although the following all claim to be Magars and try in every 
way to establish themselves as such : — 
Bhora (really a Matwala Khas of Western Nepal). 
Eoka ( „ „ ,, ). 
Chohan ( „ „ „ ). 
Jhankri ( „ „ ,, ). 
Konwar (progeny of mendicant). 
Uchia ( ,, „ Thakur). 
In days of old a certain number of Magars were driven out of their 
own country, and settled in Western Nepal among strangers. From 
the progeny of these sprang up many clans of mixed breeds, who now 
claim to be pure-bred Magars, but are not recognised as such. 
In addition to the few mentioned above, are some others who also 
claim to be Magars, such as Rawats, Dishwas, etc., but as they have no 
real relationship to Magars, it is considered unnecessary to enter a list 
of them here. 
The real and only Magars are divided into the following six tribes 
which are here entered alphabetically :— 
1. Allea. 3. Gharti. 
2. Burathoki. 4. Pun, 
5. Rana. 
6. Thapa. 
Brian Hodgson divides the Magars into three tribes only, viz., Rana, 
Thapa, and Allea. 
So many tribes now-a-days claim to be Magars that to definitely 
settle which are, and which are not, entitled to the name, becomes a 
matter of great difficulty. 
These tribes all intermarry with each other, have the same customs 
and habits, and are in every way equal as regards social standing, with 
perhaps a slight preference in favour of the Rana.
