Limbuwan - Mass Migration of The Limbus

Mass Migration of The Limbus

Following the end of Sikkim-Gorkha war at Limbuwan, the Gorkha officers started searching put people who had really sided with the Sikkimese party and started giving them death penalties. Seeing this, all the Limbus who had fought against the Gorkhas by siding with the Sikkimese King, assembled at the place called Ambe Pojoma and decided to leave Limbuwan forever. They were altogether 32000 in number and migrated in three groups. First group went to Sikkim and settles in Rung, Rhino and Magnesia villages, second group migrated to Bhutan and settled in Kuching, Tendu and Jumsa villages and third group migrated to Assam and settles in Beni, Kalchini and other Meche and Koch villages.
