mahamanav, good point. I'm not a Newar but I had many room mates in the US who were Newars.
Malai thaha thiyena, Newar haru bich pani Thulo Jaat ra Sano Jaat huncha bhanera. And it's weird that those who contributed to the Newar Culture the most, they have been placed in the Sano Jaat.
Newar haru ma Jyaphu lai Sano Jaat ma rakhda raichan. Yi Jyaphu haru ko Jatra herna, Jyaphu harule banayeka Mandir haru herna nai Tourist haru Kathmandu aauchan. Tara Newar samuh ka aru jaat haru jastai Shrestha, Joshi, Vaidya, Rajbhandari, Pradhan haru Jyaphu jaat ko Newar ko chorachiri sanga afno chorachori ko bihe garauna patakkai mandainan. Ukhan cha ni yauta "Kaam garne Kalu, Makai khane Bhalu".

My one room mate(A Jyaphu) had a girlfriend who was Shrestha, but her parents didn't agree for their marriage. Now that girl is married with a guy (Pradhan). They live in Houston Texas I think.
