Well, I like newar culutre, newar tradition and so far, they have been very consistent in preserving their culture and tradtion. Culutre like Indra jatra, Bhoto jatra, Bisket jatra, handi gaunko jatra,  Samyak Mahadan, and many more occasional festivals like yomari punhi, pancharey and so on is so much deeply rooted in our society and infact often than not ( no offese to non newars) they reflect/represent identiy of entire nepal and nepalese people.  However, newar at the other end is pretty self centered, conservative. ( perhaps this why they are culturally so strong). But with the current political change, i guess their lot of culutures will be hurt, if not vanished.

While jatra should be presented more as national festivals than newar, i guess yomari punhi, pacharey, gathamangal etc should be practiced as pure ethnic culture.

One suggestion for newars,( not for all but for some) think nepal is bigger than valley! thats all..
