The effort of delivering this message from Kathmandu is being made by newarists that even the majority government in nepal can not create new laws to end old feudal practices and can not change the old laws. It means stop the way of saying the rebels "come in mainstream politics" and always keep their selfish interests by creating instability and chaos here.
Newar, especially the "inborn buddhists," when they talk of "social justice," they still remain limited to the point of casteism within their caste. They are so narrow to the "principle of social justice" that they can not go beyond newarism.
Women brought up in guthi "culture" are seen to be used to their lifelong habit of racism and can not become progressive, not even after mixed marriage with brahmins who are called barmu by the newar people.
In the condition of not disclosing the names, the trusted sources say that some people associated with Patan Machhindranath Jatra had stolen valuable antiques and have built towering houses with money earned by selling them to foreigners. Should not the "guthiyars" or trustees take responsibility for the disappearance of sculptures? They say that the private guthi's lands are not of the government, but has been received from personal donations, but are these guthis not being used only for the promotion of sectarian feelings? It is worth mentioning that the donors of the lands of many private guthis run by newar trustees are not newars. The principle of secularism is not enough, the attitude and behaviour of respect for this principle should be seen in the life of every citizen. The sectarian guthis, even if they are generated from the donations of individual lands, can not help in the formation of the above mentioned life and behavior, in reverse, can be seen only destroying them.
Nawar people of kathmandu are seen ruthlessly sectarianizing the language of even their buddhist programs in which non-newar common people who do not understand newari are also sitting. In their programs, when a non-newar minister or such people are invited, they manipulatively run them in nepali, in their word "parvate," language and immediately after the specific invitees go out, they begin to impose the sectarianization of language. Thus, except the welfare of their own "community," absence of the development of the feeling of generously working for everyone is the role "guthi tradition" or "guthi culture" is playing. These people neither work themselves nor do they let other communities and government work, nor do they leave blaming other communities for their downfall, nor do they leave pretending, nor do they leave saying "the real ruler is not the majority government, but our 'guthi culture.'"
