the fact is, newars are the most privilaged community(and not an ethnic group since they are a mix of tibetans,kirats,indian aryans,khas) in nepal.most of them are in ktm valley with pretty good economic standard and are the most well educated.plus they get reservation quota even u r a son/daughter of a billionaire. so its a win win situation for them.the business world is also pretty much newar-marwari conglomerate.so unlike big city bahuns whose only chance in life is to get a decent education and be a professional (doc,lecturer,lawyer,banker) or do netagiri and earn his living from that, newars have all their fingers in ghiu. thats why they are also overrepresented in sarkari nokari(after bahuns).business,professionals etc.
i think the only oppression which had been done to newars was the linguistic oppression since time immorable(by kirats,then indian lichhivis and mallas and then shah/ranas).
so this prosperity reflects on the field of adventure,lifestyle ,and fun. its like the jews, because jews are prosperous as a community ,they pursue their interests in art,cinemas,extreme sports,literature etc.
