The definition/meaning of the word Kirata: The word Kirata most probably could have originated from the professional occupation of one kind of ancient Mongol looking people of modern Central Asia. The cotton is called Khi in limbu and Rata in ancient language means country and land. In a later revolution, the Limbus named their cotton farm yard/land as Khi-pa-den in their settlements in modern Nepal and this was what the Shaha officials addressed as Kipata from Khipata in a furthermore corrupt form. Kipata meant a complete autonomous right of Limbu in their occupied land and independently free country although their country was unofficially annexed to Gorkhali raj in mutual cooperation in the interest of securing and saving the land and people from East India Company territorial expansion movement. Kipata was largely operational in Limbuwan just before the time of Panchayat system. Pragmatically, it apparently appears that the word Kirata most obviously could have originated from the fundamental foot root of Khi +Rata which =s Khirata to Kirata in Aryanised sense after 1500 BC. One historical assumption indicates that a kind of people known as Khirata existed in Central Asia before 3000 BC and they were said to have discovered cotton and silk threads and produced silk and cotton materials by 2700 BC. They were known as Khirata by their professionalism. I believe this is the most possible indication how the word Kirata originated in ancient time to present perception. A major branch of this group of the planet later became Khin in Khaitan (modern North China) and later turned into Khin to chin and finally Chinese in western sense. A partial part of such people could migrated into South Himalaya land who are known as Kirata in modern conception. Nevertheless, the sense of Kirata is mysterious and completely shrouded in legend.
