The Magar Academic Conference<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indigenous Magar is an ethnic group of Nepal among the 125 ethnic\/caste groups.  The Magars occupy the third largest population (i.e. 7.13%) in Nepal, but they fall in minority groups since they are backward in mainstream. The Magars spread dwelling in India, Sikkim, Bhutan, Bangladesh and more areas as native people. Also, they scatter all over the world through Gurkha regiments, foreign employments and for the purpose of studies. The Magars have three mother tongues with their own cultural practices. There are no more historical records that connect to the most ancient backgrounds of the Magars. There is need of depth and systematic studies in regards of the Magars on various aspects. The Magar Academic Conference is organized as a knowledge festival on the Magars. It incorporates various academic papers on the political, historical, economic, socio-cultural, and various issues of the Magars.<\/p>\n
