    Its good to know this thing, but dont you think it is needed to be elaborated and need to reach to all people through different media. Coz many people know the history of SHAH dynasty & malla only. So you need to think it............

    Thakuri Dynasty data was destroyed by Prithivi Narayan Shah. He never wanted people to know about that era and it is best for people coz past is past and future is what we need to focus.
