Should not we teach our children Newari.

The Newar Civilization
"Now a days the term Nepalese has a far wider significance, indeed almost a changed meaning, but when we speak of Nepalese civilization, we can only mean Newar civilization"

nice joke.

Pink, I learned the etymology for Nepal in lower secondary school Nepali history book written by non-newar. There is no such thing to make a big "sampradayik danga" here. If so, then that is very unfortunate.

All Newars are Nepali, but David definitely didn't mean all Nepali to be Newars.... hope that helps...

Nepali Culture is Newari Culture, and vise-versa. Bahuns and Chhetris are descendants of Pakistani Muslims. Darshan Hajur, Bhuja junargarisiiyo ? these are immitators of Muslim tradition. Even the shahs of Nepal are muslims, they changed their reliion to rule nepal, inside they are mulim katwahs, haha

hamro bau le pach wata jyapu ko bis ropani jagga kinya, lalpurja herne?

Newaa Juyaa.. Newaaa Kha Laah Maa!

This string is only meant for Newars. I think Newari language will be history if we do not teach newari to ours children. there is no racism but love for one's language.

What newars have done in Nepal, no body can undermine it. I salute them.

Kathamndu Valley need not be Capital at all... even without being Capital it will continue to flourish.

Lets shift the Capital to say Dharan.

Grow up guys!
Look beyond jaat, bhasha and dharma, world is more beautiful without racism.

Yes, look beyond jaat bhasha etc. But we have to know the true history of Nepal and Newar. It doesn't mean that Bahun Chhetri do not belong to us. They also have thier own history. If the culture, tradition and language of Newar have significant value, let's admire it.
To teach Newari language to Newar children is the must. Even we are teaching only English ( Hipocrates). It has been scientifically proved that any one who knows more than 3 languages are definitely more intelligent than who does not. It is also wrong phenomenon that Newari speaker were/are/will be weak in Nepali. I know a native Newari speaker who scores the highest mark in SLC AND ISc.

Cheers to Ochin mutua and boka ko alu (whateva the names signify!)

We have to remember that Newari Language is what got Nepal in the International arena ie. the United Nations. If it wasn't for Newari, we wouldn't have been able to get so much aid from the UN.

Right now Newari language is not given any attention by the government. It needs to be preserved. Newari is one of the authentic cultures of Nepal and it deserves government intervention before it becomes extinct. Not sure whether it's due to absense of Newars in policy making positions or for what reason it's being ignored.

Newar are Mix people with different tribes people.

They are like mix cocktail ....

In a way we all are....so we don't need to cry like a baby here finding out who is what....get a life! No need to point finger here who is who and what is what as long as we want to live in PEACE. Else we know what we all are upto at end.

Even if I should or should not, I would not, cause I don't know how to speak in the first place. Anyway, I haven't seen thread with names: for banuns only or for chettris only.

when i last left sajha for good there was still a fight going on between bahun, chettris and newar. and now when i am back again the same old thing seems to be going on as usual.

Damn another wasted topic!!!

There is no doubt about Newars in Nepal/India well positioned finacially, culturally, educationally, and also in beaurocracy relative to its size. Hoewever, would they still like to be identified as 'janajati' or as an aboriginal??

Uhhhhh...what is wrong with these stupid people? Don't you have anything better to do than starting the thread to divid people. I am Newar and I am proud of my culture and heritage, and I believe others' culture and heritage are just as important as mine. More than anything else, I am proud of all the Nepalese who have been living in peace and harmony for edges despite their cultural difference. F U, you idiots who want to divid us...yes you heard me...i don't care if you are Newar or Bahun...F U.

Again, This thred is just for Newars to teach their children Newari. There is no racism but love to one's language.

six string, What kinna of Newar are you who has F-strings in hanging mouth!! Is that the language everyday you use at home?
