Has anyone come to stop  yourself from calling yourself Newar American???? Feel free to call yourself even....Shrestha American, Dongol American or Sahi American. When you have meetings and parties please invite us all because i love newar culture, food and people. Keep a map of Nepal handy so that if someone asks...you can show them the location without uttering the word NEPAL.

One more thing....not all Newars are proud of being a Newar....please do not generalise....I know from highschool that some of my Newar friends hated it when their parents talked in Newari to them infront of their friends. Good luck to you all hurt newars i hope you get to revive your language and lost LIPI.

I know where my anchestors came from, they migrated from some place in Gujraat in India some 600 years ago to escape the Muslim rule in india. We have been Nepali for over 20 generations and we do not need any other identity.
