Thanks for the clarification SirAlec. I didn't know this. Unfortunately, most of the Tamangs (and Sherpas and Rai/Limbu/Mongars) I have met in life have been converted christians. So probably they have lost parts of their ethnic and cultural identity. I am told that Lord Buddha died when he was offered pork by a blacksmith. Is this the reason why Tamangs don't take pork?
Regarding the GL number plates, I also found some WB and SK number plate taxis in the pictures. In fact I wanted to ask Anirban if he faced any problem in the hills because of his number plate. Of course it's not a taxi but still, you never know.
Waiting for the Dooars Jungle part of the story. And waiting very eagerly.
