It is frankly racist stereotype to say Bahuns are busy in education hence they don't care for competitions like Miss Nepal when Bahuns form the majority of participating contestants in Miss Nepal each year. But yes, many strict, conservative and upper-class Newar, Bahun, Chhetri families do not allow their daughters to participate in this. But things might be chaning - I mean Shristi studied in UK, Ishani and now Evana studied in Shuvatara School and US. How many ordinary Nepalis can actually say they send their sons/daughters to top schools of Nepal and US?

Regarding Reservation/Quota system, Nepal Government has made it mandatory (atleast on paper) for government agencies, I/NGOs, and other services to provide specific quotas (45%) for people hailing from communities like Indigenous (Adivasi), Tribal (Janjati), Madhesi, Women, Disabled, Geographic area etc. With context to Newars, they are false-fully termed as a single ethnic group when in fact Newar is not a specific ethnicity or caste - it is in fact a linguistic community/nation that comprises of various ethnicities (Kirats, Tibetans, Rajputs, Karnats (Madhesi), Khas, Tamang, Kanyakubja, Lichcavis, Vrijjs, Indigenous, etc.), various castes (Dya Brahman, Tirute Brahman, Chathari (Kshatri) Srestha, Bagha (half) Srestha, Jyapu, Sayami, Naye, etc. etc. fulfilling the varna jatis from Brahmins down to asat- Sudras), various religious sects (Shaiv, Tantra, Vaishnav, Theraveda, Mahayan, etc.) But due to the selfishness of a few so-called Newar 'leaders' and their insistent pressure, ALL Newars are termed Janajati these days. However they are generally tagged along Bahuns and Chhetris among the privileged group and in N/INGOs Newars (the higher caste ones) cannot contend for reservation based on their caste.
