The Nepali people are large-scale Tibeto-Nepalese people and Indo-Aryan people from Northern East India. Those with Indo-Aryan ancestry, especially the Pahāṛī (including the Chhetree, the Brahman-Hill, Newar and others), have enjoyed great prestige for centuries, and the ruling families have been of Indo-Aryan and Hindu background. Most of the Tibeto-Nepalese groups are the Rai, Limbu, Sherpa,Sunwar, Magar, Tamang and Gurung. The majority of the famous Gurkha contingents have come from the Magar, Bhutia, Lepcha, Gurung, Tamang, Sherpa and Rai groups.
