Riten,
Thanks for the map!

thanks riten. aaha really looks like a "fool-bari" hai? rangi-changi!!!

it sucks to have so many damn ethnic groups in such a small country. i see problems in nepal in the near future.

ktm rajbansi is not a caste it is a surname and they are Newari

hamro lagi ta kehi thau nai chhaina nepal ko naya map ma. Hami kata basne ni?????

bahun chhetri, thaukuri ka gaya?

The map definately depicts the spread of various ethnic group. However, it does not consider population density. From the map, it looks like Newars represent a very small population. But, most Newars are in Kathmandu valley, and I am sure the relative numbers are much higher than what is potrayed.
