nepalisite,

"...Newars are too civilized and domesticated for the current Nepali political scenario. They better do something about it before their whole identity is wiped out."

it looks like you are calling on newars more than any one else to stand up for their rights. That is absolutely what we are doing here praising and supporting them for standing up for their rights.

in another context you talk about Nepal sambhat rallies and how newars are keeping quite. It is not that newars are completely keeping quite about this, they are working towards preserving culture in other ways than you and i can imagine and I praise their sincere efforts. Coming out with guns, killings and Nepal Bands every day is now how you show you are serious about things (if you think so, good luck).

And yes "That's like asking the current government to reverse the takeover of kathmandu valley by p.n. shah. It's not happening, it's not gonna happen and it's an unfeasible and nonsensical talk. Your whole premise becomes void because of that statement."

Kathmandu valley take over is a different story compared to reversing decision made by goverment. If the red tag maoist label can be removed, if we as a nepalese can demand to revise the treaty made in 1950, what makes you think that the Newars can't demand to reverse the decision made by the government yesterday?

Pictures were great.. but i wish it was less voilent.
