zenith2,
Let us make this clear- you do NOT celebrate jastras just for the sake of tourism. When we use the word "tourism", the heart and soul of your tourist industry lies in mountaineering aka Mt. Everest. By your logic and stuburrness, Sherpas should get more funding than Newars since they live in the epicenter of Nepali tourism. Well they're not asking for funds, what makes you think you're better. Tourist in Kathmandu, if you're NOT blind, are $5 a day Isrelis, modern day hippies of the Europe/US. So the khaatey wondering around Freak Street looking for cheap hashish is NOT the money making aspect of your tourism. So please grown up and do not write things that does NOT make sense.
