The context in which the budget has been cut needs to be understood before we can look at it as an assault on heritage of the Newari people.  Questions need to be asked...

1) How much of the money truly comes from the newari community?  How much is generated from local newari communities and internal guthi's and property they have setup to pay for such things long ago? 

2) Have existing agreements been violated (we always complain about India violating our treatise, has the current govt violated existing agreements)

3) Have other ethnic traditions for other groups been cut?

4) Where is this money going to be reallocated?  for the country, people who paid it as tax or into someone’s pocket?

5) Is there a promotion of other cultures based on this reduction ?

6) Is this political statement or actually a reason based budget cut?

7)  Is there going to be an impact to tourism  (Indian and others) based on these budget cuts?

I think  Newars need to become more politically active, we need start asking questions...because of the passiveness of upbringing and the attitude of possibility rather than negativity people have targeted Newars as people who will accept any card that is dealt. 

So first before any judgment can be passed some of these types of questions should be asked?   Is the budget cuts reasonable or is it really an assassination of culture ?

Hopefully in the end fairness and cooler heads will prevail as everyone knows there is a good chance for a glorious, just and prosperous Nepal but again it based on development of "Just consciousness".  Without this Nepal will never change...
