our traditional jatra and feeling of newars are very much important. if there is no newars then there is no meaning of kathmandu and otherway  the existence and value of nepal is under newars. what is the beauty of nepal? Mountain or culture? i don't think its the mountain. the beauty of nepal is culture that every tourist finds. i am so surprised that the government is trying to demoralize newars of kathmandu and stop fundiing for the national festivals. i was reading a statement by the finance minister

quote  'Let us not make the cultural and religious matters issues of contention," he said, adding that since Nepal is a secular country the government is committed to protecting the religiosity of all the communities.' unquote...

nepal was not a secular country it  is made secular and one can not forget the past of nepal. Nepal was hindu country and forceably turned into the secular country. therefor, there would be no forgiveness if somebody hurts the feelings of community or the complete religious group. therefore i think people should respect the tradition and venerate others culture. In this momentum all the newars of kathmandu/lalitpur/bhaktapur should unite and fight againsgt any thing comes against newar culture and religion. Individual without culture and religion is not a human being.

 

 

 

 

So please grown up and do not write things that does NOT make sense = rewire bhanne muji ko bhanai.

yo pakkai bhaun hunu parcha jasko afno na ta culture nai cha na ta pahichan. aru adiwasi haruko jasto yo mujiharu ke jatra wa festival cha?? nepal ko history pad, mathyasne ani thaha paulas, jatra, festivals kati deeply rooted cha Nepal ma.

muji bahun netaharu le nikai nihu khojdai chan. afno fox jasto cunning behave le jahile yo kukurharu leader hune re!! aba saleharuko time auna antyo jasto cha.

I am not a Newar But "jita newa culture yawww".

United we stand 

my brothers and sisters please do not fight. Little knowledge is dangerous.
As we go on we will see the light. It's just matter of acquiring more knowledge
and doing some soul searching.
The Revelation will come very soon.
