Gaje Ghale who won the highest honour Victoria Cross Medal in Second World war in Burma. He was also decorated with Nepal Tara by Late King of Nepal. There is a saying that there was Ghale King who ruled Barpak and surroundings. It used to be a trail for salt traded between Tibetans and Newars of Kathmandu in the early days of Baisey, Chaubesey Rajya( Twenty Two,Twenty Four States) in the early 1400 B.S. During the unification campaign let by Shah dynasty of Nepal by king Drabya Shah and Prithibi Narayan Shah they called Ghale King for a peace talk and was believed to be tricked and wiped out in Nimel on the sandy bank of Daraudi River. Ghales were given enough wine in metal dish but Shah’s knights were served wine on tapari (hand-made plate with leaves). As Ghales got drunk with binge drinking fight broke out. Shah knights had already hidden swords under sand long before the party started and slaughtered everyone with their hidden weapons. This mass murder wiped out Ghale clan but a few survived who were still unborn, therefore even today; Dangey clan of Ghale tribe never drink water at Nibel believing it was flooded with Ghale clan blood once. Those survived, now lives in many parts of Nepal. They had scattered around to survive. As years goes on, Ghales who lives in Gurungs community, says Gurung-Ghale, those who lives in Tamang community, says Tamang –Ghale, and those who lives in Magar community, says Magar-Ghale. But in the original place, Barpak, they say Ghales are Ghale. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barpak」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
