The coach community of Eastern Nepal is known as Rajbanshi. They have been living in different parts of Morang and Jhapa districts for a long time. Dynasty means ‘royal family’, meaning ‘affiliated with the royal family’. It is said that they are called dynasties as they are descendants of kings and emperors. The dynastic caste is also called Koch or Koche. Considering themselves members of the regional dynasty, they initially believed that Virat Raja had given them shelter. Kichak, who ruled in eastern Nepal, is believed to be their ancestor. That is why they call themselves the descendants of the king.

According to sociologist Dor Bahadur Bista, the people who have been living in the Sankoshanadi, Kosh and Koshindi geographical areas in present day Assam since ancient times are called Kochs. The political history of the Kochs came to an end in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when the Koch Empire, which stretched from Bihar in the south and Morang in the north to Assam in India, was annexed by the British in India and the districts of Jhapa, Morang and Sunsari.

Even before the arrival of the Aryans, the coaches, who had been ruling with their own rich culture and glorious traditions, gradually began to decline in their self-esteem and dignity in front of the castes and classes who were considered more powerful and prosperous than themselves. Most of the coaches became the judges of the Brahmin priests. They secretly began to change castes. In order to become civilized, he changed the name of his caste to Rajput-like dynasty. As a result, the royal family and affluent coaches succeeded in becoming dynasties like the Rajputs, while some converted to Islam.

Dynasties are straightforward. Like fights, Adda likes to stay away from court legal hassles. The dynasties often live in large huts. Although agriculture is the main occupation, the dependence on agriculture is declining and the younger generation has migrated to foreign employment due to lack of education and employment.

The origin of this community, which has its own language, customs and culture, has been considered as Jiri VDC of Dolakha district.

It is mentioned in the history that the Gurung caste, who were considered to be honest and straightforward, were forced to lead various forts, thum and forts in the east. During the reign of Kazi Abhiman Singh Basnyat, the stubborn Chambasin Gurung of Solu conquered V.S. It is mentioned in the history that after returning to the Tista river in 1872 BS with his army, he washed his weapons in the river Tista with shields, daggers, khukari and swords. These weapons are still kept in the house of Colonel Khadkasin Gurung, a son of Chambasin, a resident of Siliguri.

Thus, the Gurungs living in the East left their original language and script due to the fact that they were gradually forgetting their original language, creed, culture and religion in order to fulfill the values, titles and responsibilities given by the then ruling classes. Religions, deeds and cultures were abandoned. Due to which the Gurungs living in this area till today do not know how to speak and write their mother tongue.

Language

This nation has its own mother tongue and script. However, as mentioned above, the Gurungs who entered the East in different periods do not speak their original languages ​​for various reasons. After the historic Jana Andolan 2046, in search of their language, religion, deeds, rituals and cultures, the Gurung castes living in the east have also started performing their religion, funeral culture or rituals from birth to death according to Buddhism.
