Watched both of these time travel classics, and I genuinely think Steins;Gate has a better plot, story, and especially romance than Dark.
Both are incredible, but SG hit you harder emotionally. Dark is more complex and philosophical, but Steins Gate just has that perfect combination of time travel, character development, suspense, and love.
Agree or not
Thapa Khadka Bohra Budhathoki… and soon even some Bahun surnames like Baral Lamichhane Regmi… What’s the reason ? My theory is that the surname overlap between Magars and Chhetris is strongest in surnames with a military or warrior associate for example, Thapa, Khadka, etc.
These appear to have functioned historically as military titles ranks within Khas society, and Magars also had a strong military tradition and were deeply integrated into the military structures of the Gorkha state influenced by Khas people. This could explain why some of these military associated surnames became shared between the two.
What I find interesting is that the overlap seems less obvious with surnames associated with other traditional Khas administrative or occupational roles for example, Karki, traditionally associated with revenue/tax administration. If the pattern is real, perhaps Magar society adopted or shared military titles because of their particular role in warfare, while there was less reason for the same transfer of administrative titles.
Then there is another category of shared surnames that may have a completely different origin: place-derived surnames. Names such as Lamichhane, for example, can be found among Bahun Chhetri(kc) as well as Magar and Gurung families. In such cases, the common surname does not necessarily indicate a common ethnic origin; it could simply reflect families deriving their names from the same locality, ancestral settlement, or geographic designation.
So perhaps the surname overlap isn’t one single phenomenon. Or maybe Magars are way more closer to khas than people assumed to be keeping them under Adhabasi Janjati cluster
