its not racist but just a fact that newars are the elite of nepal in any sense:
- though being only 5% of population , they are 15% in beuraucracy(bahun chetri 65%),
- 40 % business elite(60% marwari),
- almost 40% of total qualified prefessionals(doctors,engineers,profs,CEOs).
-a big chunk of newar elite is in the North america,europe or east asia with good job and very high life standard.
-their HDI is second to only the ex royals(shahs +ranas of ktm) along with marwaris.
-newars have been very close to the rulerso f nepal before and after the unification
so its nothing to be surprised they can afford going to beauty paegents, enroll in the best colleges and schools, get the best job offers,pursuing music,art and film careers or go abroad.
except a few bahun chetris, few janajati and madhesi brahmins, no other community enjoys such high living standard as a whole.it is a result of factors like them being in the capital city, having a culture of hard work, a long learnig tradition(high caste newars),and their business cunningness.
also the janajati reservation has come handy for them to get even more representation everywhere.
