Hi, being a newar, I also want to give some comment about newars.

I must say, comparing to other society, newari people have more jatras bhoj and bhater. In fact, in my guthi alone, there were at least 2 bhoj within a month . I am proud that my ancestor preserve these beautiful culture which actually try to tie all the people together and share feeling otherewise our nepal would have been society lik  US which has money  but not social life. These jatras bhoj bether try to bring people closer and closer. Right now I am in US and I miss those moments and got to know real values of those culture.

I also agree some of the friend that we should go with time. Sometime I also didn't make enough time to attain all those bhoj bhater coz i was busy and they put a heavy charge on me.

One blame to newar community is that they promote alcohol or simply called 'Local raksi'. Well I strongly disagree with this. Lets try to analyze this. Even in our home. my parents  make raksi for festives. I am not blaming other ethnicity, but I must say "MORE YOU TRY TO PRESS YOUR DESIRE, MORE IT TRY TO COME UP". What I am trying say is , I know alcohol are totally banned from bahun's society but frankly saying they drink more alcohol than newar do. Well I am not saying its good or bad ( coz infact so called developed citizens of US drink more than we nepalese do, isn't it?). I might not be 100% right. I post these things based on my experiences because I have equal number of bahun and newar friend. So simply saying, making raksi at home and allowing raksi in festives doesn't prove newar promote raksi culture in nepal.

I also agree with some of the friends that Newari people are little bit conservative. Well I am not hesitating to say, there is wide unseen gap between newari people and bahun people in Nepal. For that,  I am blaming both of the culture. Bahun people think newari people try to embarass and dominate them and Newari people think that bahun people try to embarass and dominate them. We must stop this. yeah it takes time to change.  With the rise of ganatantra, its time to change.I strongly hate those guys which try to mimic newari tone ( you know what i am saying right?)  coz those things seems to be minor but it actually increasing the gap so I am strongly requesting everybody to stop those action.

I must say that main drawback of Newari people is education. They still lack of education. Education is not the problem in so called higher ranked newari people ( bajracharya, tuladhar,shrestha etc...) but its the problem in so called lower ranked newari people(Maharjan, dangol, suwal, prajapati, sahi, etc.....). I am not hesitating to mentioning the term   higher and lower ranked newari people coz thats the real fact and bitter truth which newari people are  facing right now. This proves the huge gap between within the newari cuture and people.

I HOPE THAT NEW NEPAL WILL ELIMINATE THESE PROBLEMS.

I will highly appreciate for comments and suggestion.

Thanks
Anil
