i feel the need to keep these traditions and cultutural jatra from tourism point of view. you guys dont know how many people actually come to see these festivals from abroad. it is one of the things that represent our rich cultural heritage. bishal 123 looks like u shld have been born in africa...u got misplaced. just becasue you came to the US doesnt not mean that you languish your background. the finance should be continued for jatras.

the title of this posting is not correct becasue newari people are not the only people who celebrate jatras. all of the people in kathmandu take part in this process. the bottom line is that: this govt is not not attacking newari people but attacking the foundation of hinduism in the process of moving the country to communism instead of capitalism.
