Nepalsite,

Now you are being a hypocrite. Darjeeling and sikkim is part of India. Newars still live in Kathmandu and have been living there for centuries. And this decision made by the curent govt directly affects the people who are still living there. And if you stiff them by cuting off the funds and taking away their lands .. he he YOU THINK THEY WILL STAY QUIET AND CIVIL ? Whether it is smart thing to do nor not is not the question here... the question is whether it is fair or not. AGAIN IF YOU ARE GOING TO CUT INDRAJATRA THEN CUT SHIVARATRI, TEEJ, DASAIN, TIHAR, LHOSAR CUT FUND FOR ALL OF THEM NOT JUST INDRAJATRA. If they want to newars to fund their own festivals then give them the means to fund them. If the decisions made by old regimes has a direct effect on current people's daily life then of course those should be addresed. ACCORDING TO YOUR LOGIC IF THE PAST GOVT FUGGED UP THEN SO BE IT....he he eh WE DON"TNEED TO CORRECT THEM. RIGHT ? SO LETS KEEP TREATING OUR MADESHSI CITIZENS AS DHOTIS, AND KEEP TREATING GYANEY AS GOD ACCORDING TO YOUR ASININE LOGIC.
