Nalapani,

"Do not make khas people like radddi ko tokari to put all logical or illogical blames."
The entire Khas community should not take the blames for the mistakes and misdeeds conducted by a handful of Khas rulers and elites. Just like, Hitler decided to start world war II, the entire German was blamed/attacked for it. Present-day Germans do not support Hitler's act, and the ordinary German citizen is not blamed for the war-crimes of WWII. Similarly, Khas community would be blamed as long as they keep defending the atrocities of the past against other communities of Nepal. Khas community itself should come forward to denounce the wrong doings of the past. An ordinary Khas, who is not a part of ruling class, should not lose sleep in this sort of debates taking the blame on his head that he was not a part of. Once the voice of oppressed community gets heard, and corrected by the establishment, these blames would go away. BTW, I would love to read which blames you consider are illogical.

"Chana_tarkari do not forget newars do not live only inside Ktm khaldo. .........."
I am well aware of Newars out of valley. I have lived and spent plenty of time with Newars from Baglung, Bandipur, Trishuli, Bharatpur, Janakpur, Hetauda, Birgunj, Dharan, Biratnagar, Chainpur, Ilaam, Dhankuta, Khaireni, Dhadingbesi, Gorkhabazaar, Pokhara, Butwal, Mangalpur, Dolakha, Banepa, Panauti, Sikkim, Kalimpong, Darjeeling, Betiya, Tistung, Palung, Bhimfedi etc. to observe their rituals, social norms, similarities and differences. I have spent half of my life in Nepal out of KTM valley and keep myself updated with changes as much as possible. You might know that the Newar organizations out of valley is more united and stronger than in KTM valley in these days. Just last year, there was more than 10,000 Newars gathered and rallied in Biratnagar, whereas gathering 1000 Newars in Basantpur Dabali has become a challenge for local Newar leaders. Nepa Rastriya Party, the so called Newars party obtained more votes from outside than in KTM valley. I am pretty aware of these information bro. I agree that Newars outside KTM valley are more receptive and flexible.


By the way, the  thread is dragged way too far from the original post. I just intended to share with you all guys that the use of "Newar+I" word is not welcome. So, if you happen to use the word knowingly or unknowingly, please think of making a correction. Just kick-out "+i" that's enough.

Rest of the issues entered just while answering the questions of curious friends.
