I am also Newar, Newar speaking Newar of Kathmandu. I am really sad to hear this news. I don't think any newar want a separate newar state. I know a lot of Newar in Kathmandu but don't know anyone actually like separate newar state. So, I am kind of surprised how this protest came out all of sudden. It seems like its another political issue to crack down our capital Kathmandu. So far, Kathmandu is the only little safe area in Nepal and seems like these culprit a*sh*le politicians want to create chaos in capital as well. I feel like shooting these politicians. I think its time for us civil citizens to voice against these stupid acts. Now looking at this issues, seems like Terai issue for separate Madhesh is also propaganda created by politicians but not actually wanted by Madheshi people.

Why don't these politicians voice for something good like research on alternative source of electricity.... There are lots of area of improvement in Nepal beside creating separate states and strikes and protests....

Jai Nepal.

PEACE !!!
