Newar reign over the valley and their sovereignty and influence
over neighboring territories ended approximately 250 years ago with the
conquest of the Kathmandu valley in 1769 by the Gorkhali Shah dynasty founded by Prithvi Narayan Shah.
Newars were engaged in business between Tibet and Moguls in India. So,
to affect the Mogul empire's treasury, British East India Company
supplied weapons and advice to Prithvi Narayan Shah who in return would
conquer kathmandu valley and put an end to the trade between Tibet and
Moguls of India. Systematic brutal suppression of newar people was
pursued for generations during early shah dynasty rule in order to
discourage newar people from any political aspiration.

 So continued the reign of silent repression, where newars were suppressed in more that one way. Today the most part of what Nepal's beauty of cultural heritage is due to newars. But, the period of silent oppression was so much that nowdays, newar have forgotten who they are really and most of them have become selfish and lost in this materialistic world. We all know who is adhi kabi of khas bhasa, who is maha kabi..but do we know about nepal bhasa's adhi kabi? do we know who is maha kabi of nepal bhasa? So, the period of silent oppression was very brutal for most part. There are so many text and books that have been there for more than half  millenia and over millenium old in nepal bhasa, yet we don't even know that it exists. Even the ancient tibetian chant Om maney ..is all written in nepal bhasa.. For most people we are all satisfied with dev nagari..but one of the oldest script are also some nepal bhasa scripts. There are also so many old scripts like bhujimol, prachalit..which have been there for over two millenium..Infact there have been found 13 scripts of nepal bhasa like golmol,litumol..etc...Such was the silent repression. Nobody knows of them, even newars...Okies, if you guys ever wonder why there are so less newar people in politics, it's because of the language. When your mother tongue is something else it is always difficult to express in other language unless you put in great effort. And think of the fact, it was even made compulsory to sanskrit in schools in some of the years. How do you expect newars to go forward in such repressed society? But newars have forgotten all of that. Nepal sambat was being used even in shah dynasty until ranas came along. They came and replaced nepal sambat with bikram sambat which has nothing to do with nepal whose originator was some king from gujrat. Infact I don't think shah and ranas did anything good in entire 200 yrs to our country then to leave it in darkness. They never allowed society to progess.

So it's been over 200 years of silent repression. Wake up newars do something for your country. The problem with newars are they are too laid back and very selfish. Now the country is in hands of mostly corrupt bahune politicans who have no moral standing. There isn't any political party that truly acts on will of nepali people. Just see nepali congress, the party who proclaim that they brought democracy to nepal. It is indeed full of nepotism and bahune baad. They never allow any young people or youth neta to rise.. UML is totally party without ethics.. Maobadi ta baee halyo terrorist...jungle bata akoo manchey lai desh chalauna k aouncha. Even though most newars are well educated, they always back off from politics and aren't politically aware. For remaing uneducated poor nepalese people it is always easy for corrupt politicans to brian wash them, jaati ko naam liyera ladhaunee.

 Aba yo political parties haru bata ta hamro biswaas nai uthhi suckyo...afaii affai society ko laghi kehi garnu parcha..hammi newa newa milera desh banaunu cha..Newa rajya magera haina..nepal bandha garera hoina...yesari ni subbai le affno affno society lai help garnu parcha..madeshi le affu thau ma pugera madesh lai banaunu parcha..yehi kathmandu ma ayera ani madesh lai birsine haina...Most political leader r busy in ktm...how to get kursi..farkera ni affno gau wah thau ma kasaile kehi gareko yaad chaina malai....
 
So we all newars have to be politically aware, 1stly all of the news media is owned by all corrput bahune baad ko political parties who only bring their own agenda. we need more of something like sajha where we can voice up..not like kantipur channel...political mouth piece of nepali congress and mysansar.com political mouth piece of  maobadhi...We also need to voice up and not stay silent.

 and ya be rational...dun start asking for newa rajya...plain stupid...whole nepal is all u'rs....
