		Kiratas ruled the Kathmandu valley for over 1000 years, until their overthrow by the Licchavis in the 6th century AD.
		There are historical and contemporary tensions between Tagadharis and Kiratas, evidenced in the racist comments of the Sikkim-based Taghadari Suraksha Samaj in 1992 that Taghadari alone "have the brain and the brawn to rule; others are meant to be at their feet, ruled for ever because they have emerged from the feet of Brahma" (p.

	Assam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most scholars accept that the first known mention of the word Assam today is in a stanza from the Bhagavat of Sankardeva composed/translated in this region about the middle of the 16th century which described the ethnic groups of the region (Srimandbhagavat, skandha 2, H Dattabaruah and Co., Nalbari, pp-38) transcribed in iTrans:

	Greenpeace - Rainbow Warrior Pacific Fisheries Tour 2004: Tough choices coming
		Kirata continues, "We have already placed a 60 mile closed area for all fishing vessels around the capital Tarawa, around Christmas Island, around all those populated islands in Kiribati."
		So even though the need to manage the fish stocks sustainably is clearly recognized, there is also enormous pressure on the government to get as much money as possible out of Kiribati's main resource.
		Kirata acknowledges that because economic conditions and infrastructure are better elsewhere, it may not be easy to attract foreign investment to Kiribati, unless incentives like lower license fees and tax havens are offered.

	Buddhism in Nepal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Jirel, which is considered a Kirata tribe, have also adopted Tibetan Buddhism.
		Many ancient sites in the Kathmandu Valley were identified with major Buddhist Caityas, such as Swayambhunath, Bodnath, Kathmandu and the four "Ashoka" stupas of Patan, and another two hundred stone caityas dating from the Licchavi Period, were testified to the widespread antiquity of caitya worship.
		It is possible that this practice, in its earliest incarnation, was related to the worship of stones, which may have originated in the early, rival Kirata inhabitants of the Valley, prior to the Licchavis.
