Livewire,

I think Maoist Government opened a can of worms. Guthis own very valuable assets worth billions of rupees but they are ill managed by Guthi Sansthan (a Government entity). The control of these assets should be given back to the original Guthis that owned them if possible.

For Guthi lands that were used for many public institutions such as TU, Singha Darbar with tens of billions of rupees of valuation, Government should create some kind of annuity fund for upkeep. I doubt Guthis got anything in return and all Nepalis irrespective of their ethinicity benefit from them. It is not fair that Guthi land were forcefully taken and they have to fend for themselves on their own.

Some Guthi lands are not developed or are given on leases by Government. These should be returned to private Guthis (i.e. temples or community they originally belonged to). The Government need not fund these temples and their rituals any longer after returning their propreties.

I think this should be fair but I doubt Government will do it since it means giving up control real estate and land with valuation of tens of billions of rupees.
