Each time there is something to discuss about Newars and Newari culture it boils down to comparison between Bhauns, Chetries etc. At least for this thread I would wish newars and non-newars to think themselves as nepali and refrain from unhealthy comparisons.

Being a non-newar and living outside of Nepal, I am quite proud of what newars and their culture have given to nepali culture as a whole. Very often it feels, the nepali arts, architecture, cuisine have been molded around it.

I wish all my newar friends every luck to keep their culture and arts alive. This should not be done to compete with other ethnicity but just for the preservation of such a rich heritage.

After all we are all first nepali and then whatever ethnicity we represent.
