HARD-WORKING WOMEN

The Indo-Tibetan people inhabit an area which includes Tibet, Laddakh, Kinnar, Nepal, Garo, and North Bengal, and the communities of the Tharu, Gurung, Newari, Sherpa, Bhutia, Lepcha, Khasia. Their figures are like the Aryans. They have flat noses, are good looking and their language is a mixture of Sanskrit and Tibetan. They frequently use nasal sounds when speaking, and their script is Tangada. In Indo-Tibetan phonetics, the sound ra is sparsely used. Among the Indo-Tibetans, the males have thin beards and mustaches and the females have flat breasts. The girls are very hard-working: they can do physical work continuously for long periods. Their lymphatic glands are well-developed. So they have a lot of stamina which enables them to ascend and descend hilly tracts.
