Description
Human existence is believed to be incomplete without the enrichment of culture. Some individuals wholeheartedly immerse themselves in their cultural surroundings, while others observe from a distance. The ancient Kirat civilization of Nepal predates any religious texts we have. Unfortunately, their profound cultural wisdom has primarily faded, leading to a disheartening void in our understanding of ancient knowledge. The plight of the tribal communities in the land nurtured by their toil and sacrifice is a cause for concern. Neglecting the valuable contributions of these tribal communities in the name of progress leaves us incomplete. Through a thorough anthropological study of the Kirat Limbu community, we've arrived at factual and logical conclusions regarding the questions they've raised. This writer endeavors to share this information, driven purely by academic value and recognition. Recognizing his responsibility, this writer, in the later stages of life, has felt a sense of urgency in preserving the positivity of research. The book is published to document synthesized knowledge based on trustworthy information and data, thereby sharing it with readers. In this groundbreaking book, the author delves into the realms of Mundhum, Vedas, Kirat Limbu history, and culture, offering a Socio-cultural anthropological analysis that is unparalleled in its authenticity. This work provides a comprehensive exploration of these subjects and includes a comparative study with Khas, Arya, Dhimal, and Tibeto-Burman families. The book presents a wealth of meticulously examined and synthesized data, making it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to grasp the rich history and distinctive culture of the Kirat people, conveyed in accessible language. This study, which uses a positivist methodology, divides ontology and epistemology and lays a solid theoretical groundwork for the current investigation. The book thoroughly examines the Kirat-Sen-Samba civilization, conducting extensive research and analysis. The findings reveal a significant correlation between Kirat Sen from Simangadh, Chaudandi, Koshi Kokaha Baraha Kshetra, and Samba from Mewa Khola Taplejung, Nepal, establishing a connection between blood lineage and cultural heritage. This conclusion is drawn from examining diverse genealogies and the study of Tungdunge Mundhum. The author, Subba, is a public health specialist interested in history, culture, and anthropological research. Known for his songwriting talents, he has published over a dozen literary works. Holding a PhD in health psychology and master's degrees in public health and Nepali literature, Subba's academic pursuits have encompassed the fields of anthropology, sociology, culture, and population. After serving as a district public health officer for over three decades across various districts, he has now retired. With a focus on utilizing anthropological facts, theories, and perspectives, Subba emphasizes the importance of cultural studies within the Kirat Limbu community. This book is expected to be a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the true essence of Nepali soil, to explore the rich Kirat civilization, its culture, and the intricate tapestry of ethnic issues—best of luck on this enlightening journey.

Summary
The primary research concept is to have a logical argument on knowledge and theory. We conclude the research only by further reasoning the ability from the idea. In the present study, analysis and synthesis have been completed by adopting the principles of deduction and induction. After examining the data, the hypothesis derived from looking at existing theories was established as a fact. On the other hand, by looking at the pattern of the evidence found, the theory has been inspired and created by organizing the facts based on additional evidence. What is the state of knowledge in Ontology? The metaphysical or traditional knowledge has been studied in detail in it. What is the state of reliable knowledge of epistemology? The researcher has also been studied. How much Axiology has been adopted in the study? Particular emphasis has been placed on educational value and recognition without prejudice to caste/ ethnicity, politics, and geography. The Research strategy is of varied nature. On the one hand, it is longitudinal exploratory; on the other hand, the study has also focused on ethnography. Species description has been refined by social biological theory. It has also a mixed-in approach. On the one hand, this research is based on positivism, a study based on solid evidence independent of the subject matter. On the other hand, the researcher is the subject of the research title. Thus his knowledge and perspectives are also utilized, and the Phenomenology technique has been used.
