Respected editor(s),

I sincerly request you to replace the out dated text about "The Yakkha" (written in your famous encyclopaedic article www.en.wikipeida.com/wiki/yakkha) with the latest and comprehensive text supplied below. Thanks. Durga Hang Yakkha Rai (Date: 2007.Jan.23)

The Yakkha
The indigenious Yakkha (identical with its Kirat fmily: Rai, limbu and Sunuwar of the Mongolian physionomy is one of the progenesis of Nepal's prehistoric kirat dynasty of arround about 100 BC. Today Yakkha's mother land is considered a patch among the historic Kirat region (i.e. east of the capital Kathmandu valley). It is claimed*; the ethnonym "Yakkha" as per the conquerer Aryan's Sanskrit grammer had been spelled in the Aryan-hindu mythologies as "Yaksa-sh" (like Bhisu-shu for an ascetic "Bhikchu of the Buddist holy scripts). Although the legendary Yaksa-sh, by the corrupt name of Yakkha and Kirats are being hailed in the Hindu's holy Vedas and the ancient Sanskrit literature, the Yakkha is eternally firm with its own clanonym: "The Yakkha".

The current national census, 2001 says: The yakkha's population is 17,003, retains mother tongue by 86 percent and by 81.4 percent follows the Kirat religion (Shamanism) whixh is the fourth largest religion of Nepal.
