FYI, Jyapu is not derogatory term. There are infact many organizations that supports " Jyapu", Jyapu Samaj is one of those example. Jyapus are considered innocent and naive, hardworking newar communities and often humiliated by other so called elite classed newars, such as shreshta, shakya, tuladhars etc..but Jyapu are culturally very rich and proud communities and many of my "Jyapu" friends feel proud of that and I do feel proud about them. Maharjan, Dangol, Duwal, Prajapati, Awale, Singh (originally are jyapu but some twisted to put singh shrestha) are the common surname of  "Jyapu".

Neigther they are lower casete (untouchable) as some other newar castes like Shahi, Pode and Manandhar, Karanjit etc ( pani nachalne). However, non of these should matter now. So, I see no racial connotation on above photograph, as a matter of fact photographer might have wanted to project the " Jyapu" muskan as a adorable innocent muskan.

It is unfortunate that everything we see today observe and evaluate from " racist/etchinic" mindset. Are we that divided??
