Shantipriya,
"What newars of CT kinds ........ ....Let us all ask ourself."
Have you learned anything about "focussing on the subject matter"? You keep on switching topics from one to another, never put enough information, and when asked details, you jump to another issue. You first talked about narrow-mind, then dirty place, then radical extremism, and now on history, sambat and even festivals and padma ratna-malla k sundar? I have answers for you in each of these issues, just chose one, stick on that and keep your arguments. Don't jump here n there acting like a cry-baby.
"On the other hand ..... is where my fear is. "
Yes, you are correct, Government has to provide budget for continuation of Newar Jatra and festivals. Government policy was to transfer ownership of guthiland to individuals, to make tonnes of money every year. I was against it since I was aware of this policy (some 15-20 years ago). The government expenditure to Jatra and festival is less than 1% of the amount the newar people deserve viewing the current market price of land and other commodities. I have done some research on this issue in the past. There was also a high-level study team formed after the agreement between the government and Newar activists 2 years ago. UNESCO also has done research on the issue. I have access to many of these information. I can share with you if you want to learn about this with more facts and figures.
