A Warm Welcome! !
Warm welcome to the Nepal-lipi-online, launched on the Auspicious day of the 1130th
Nepal New Year and Heartiest Greetings for aHappy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
This is yet a small effort by a dedicated
voluntary team to study and disseminate the
classical thoughts and culture of Nepal. Nepal
scripts play a vital role in studying Nepal classics
and understanding the ancient part of arts,
history, culture and religion of this Himalayan
nation which became a republic last year.This is the first time that a website is being
launched in the Nepal scripts, a long awaited
project which still has a long way to a successful
achievement. It all depends on our moral, active,
material and financial support. This is a Global
initiative for us by us.
We started by designing the Unicode
compatible fonts for Nepal scripts (Prachalit and
Ranjana). However, due to lack of necessary
funding and technical support, our effort ofencoding is going to take time than presumed.
For now, the most of the postings are available
on image and pdf files.
The Nepal-lipi.com, the worlds first online
bulletin in Nepal script provides:
Information for students, academics,
researchers and practitioners in the fields of
classical Nepal thought and culture,
Japan-Nepal relations and Buddhism. News, views, reviews, resources, and links to
sites related to Nepal, Japan and Buddhism.
Access to over 20,000 Nepal Bhasa, Sanskrit
and Pali manuscripts in Nepal scripts and
printed documents from Nepal and
collections abroad.
Nepal calendar to deepen understanding ofthe chronology of classical Nepal and its
modern use.
Although Nepal scripts were used to write
Sanskrit, Maithili and Nepal Bhasa in the past,
the Nepal Bhasa writers retained the use of the
script upto date. Hence, more contents will be in
Nepal Bhasa while we welcome writers to
provide us materials of other languages written
in Nepal scripts. Our attempts to locate Tarka
Vitarka a Khasa Bhasa book written in
Bhujingmola Nepal script has yet to succeed. We
will appreciate your help in locating this book
and other materials written in Nepal scripts for
us to study and disseminate among us.
Thank you for visiting us!

Newah Identity
- -Daya Ratna Shakya
, ,, ,
, " "
, ,, ,, , , ,, ,
By the beginning of the 21st century, the existence
of newah people has been not only limited to tri cities of
Kathmandu valley but also out side the whole country as far
as in America, Japan, England, as well as in Australia. In
contrast, I see a large number of Newah people in Nepal is
not aware of understanding the importance of own heritage.
Until they leave the country or travel to foreign land, they
do not realize how important the Newah heritage for them
to save the identity as the Newah people of Nepal. I have
seen the people who were prefered not to call Newah in the
valley and when they leave the country they feel proud of
being Newah. In the valley when they get involved in a
campaign of preservation ofNewah language and culture
the others blame them by categorizing those unemployed
people with joblessness or influenced with communist
ideology. But they feel much proud of being Newah after so
many years of dedication to save the identity of Newah. It isalso true that when the Newah persons do not go out of
country they become less aware on saving own identity.
A simple goal of this article is to draw some guide lines
to follow on what we can do to save our identity. The very
important fact we should keep in mind is to let others know
that the Newah people are the principal inhabitant
of Nepal mandala. Newah is not a caste but is an inclusive
form of many castes and creeds. That is why we see many
types of religion, culture, traditions, rituals, festivals etc.
within Newah. They are all binded by a common language
called Nepal Bhasa, the language of Newah people. But this
fact is incomprehensive to young generation of Newah
people these days. People in Nepal incorrect hierarchy of
caste such as Bahun, Chhetri, Newar etc. Because, the
Bahuns and chhetris are also exist within Newars
including considerably lower castes like Sarkis the shoe
makers as well as blacksmiths. Accordig to Hindu caste

, Citizen of Nepal
"" "" ""
Boarding school Boarding school slow poison ()
system four categories such as Brahaman chhetri, Vaisya
and Sudras are discussed. In Newah all of them are
available with harmonious atmosphere. But the young
generation of Newah people considered Newah as simply a
caste of Nepal. It is a wrong concept they have learned from
educational institutes.
Newah no direct historical link like Newah people do.
When they leave the country theyconsider themselves as
people are the only people who have inseparable link with
the country Nepal. The other ethenic group has the citizens
of Nepal. But they are bound to accept official language that
calls all Newah people as Nepali. In my view we are citizens
of Nepal but we can not call us NEPALI with influence of
khas language. We should attempt to let others call us
Newah not Nepali. Because our language in Newah not
Neapli. In Newah language there is no entry of the word
NEPALI. As the mool mantra of this article I suggest that
we must attempt to make every body aware of not to call
Nepali to Newah people.
Another important aspect victimizes the Newah
identity is by the system of education.In the curriculumn
the text books are written in propmoton of khas tradition,
but there is a huge lack of material that strengthens the
empowerment of ethnicity. Many of boarding school use
the books publised in India and discourage to use the books
publishe in Nepal that includes materials supporting the
ethnic existency. Inthis way the khas oriented education
ystem kills the Newah people are victimized by slow poision
spread by the system of education that focuses on story of
khas tradition and success. Due to this victimization the
newah children have lost their identity they feel they are
Nepali but not Newah. They have no clue why the word
Newari is derogatory for newah people. Some day in future
these newahchildren may start asking what the meaning of
Newah in Nepalese perspectives is all about. To support the
newah identity the educational material must include
readings on Newah heritage.In addition the other
importnat aspect of devaluation of newah identity is
teaching and speaking khas language in Newah homes. I

guideline
consider it as an epidemic to eradicate the awareness of
Newah heritage among the newah families. It signals to
destroy not only the notion of heritage but the whole
Newah nationality. It is true that no other ethenic groups
stand for preservation of Newah heritage; they must protect
their identity by themselves. If they speak in favor of saving
the identiry it may become too late and they may accuse
thah the people are not aware of own identity. By virtue or
vices the children who were educated during the
Panchayatperiod have already became parents by now and
we can imagine how they protect the culture and language
to their decendents in future if thay them selves are not
qualified to theach their own children. So I see the problem
of parroting in their own lap to their children in Khas
language.
To help and to understand the Newah identity I have
drawn a tree diagram. This can be framed and hang in the
wall of your room to cross check a subject that related to
the newah heritage. By doing this one will not have to look
for the wesite or magazine to see the gudience of this
drawing. We must eradicate this type of epidemic
disappearance of the languge. In this dragram I have shows
the subject of newah identity for preservation. I have taken
a faith on your side that the Newah people spread out in the
world may take this as a guide lines to protect and preserve
the identity as Newah. I wish you all the best for the up
coming new year NS 1130.

Revisiting Beloved city after 40 years:
"The Alarming Architecture of the Kathmandu city"
- By Wolfgang Korn(English Translation by Rahena Shrestha Wester)
Sunday, 17thSeptember: Arrival in Kathmandu
By the approach in Kathmandu, it was a first shock:
The municipal development of the Ring road, which
was planned 38 years ago by us is sloshed.
Unplanned proliferation, how it has grown wild and
had noticed from above and later it seemed to be true.
We drove in a hotel jeep of the Tibet-Guest-House, it
was an alarming trip: Ring road was full, struggling
for another centimeter (of space), buses, trucks, cars,
motorcycles, bicycles, tempos and many people. 19
years ago rice fields were here! Horns, Horns, Horns!
I can only suspect, where we are, recognizing which
way we can reach Durbar square, the trip after
Thamel. I was so shocked that my mouth did not
close: where earlier two to three storied houses were
stood on large plots of land now stood 8-storied on
stamps size. All old things are treated as rubbish!
Only concrete and brick stones! Because of the tall
buildings at the left and right sides, hardly the lightcomes to the lanes. Everywhere crowded by people,
noise, horns, and advertisements!!
The Tibet-Guest-House is obviously and
permanently expanded, the buildings are built at the
same height of 5-8 stories next to each other. Hotels
and housing with shops in the respective ground
floors at narrow lanes that look everything very
similar.
With the help of a map, I fought myself as the first
reconnaissance and found the direction to
Bauddhanath at the beginning of 1970.
Durbar Square, the Hanuman Dhoka, where I had
worked for almost four years between 1974 and 1978
for the UNESCO. May be the breadth of the lane is
about three meters: Jammed traffic by cars,
motorcycles, rickshaws, bicycles (only few), carried
with heavy loads, which are often not easy to handle,
usual pedestrian. No sidewalks! Only occasionally
steps before shops, on which one can flee and rescue
himself.
At the entrance to the palace zone a policeman
was present, a ticket house: Entrance is to be paid,
200 rupees, about 2 Euro per day. Ticket with day
stamp! (Is the money collected from the receipt is
being used in this respective zone?)
Astonishing, all buildings of this complex are in a
good shape. One is renovated just with the
technologies that had been developed for more than
30 years ago by us! Seems to me, my Kathmandu hasnot yet entirely lost. I'm little bit proud of me and
calm myself. We returned back to the hotel again by
taking crowded narrow lanes.
Friday, 6th of October (Return from Trek toKathmandu)
From Dhulikhel, the trip was a shocking tour, similar
to that of 20 days ago, when we drove from the
airport to the hotel in the city. Villages such as
Bauddhanath in 2006

Dhulikhel and Banepa are rebuilt. In the left and the
right of the streets, stand newly constructed ugly 5
storied new buildings, the free rooms between the
buildings and streets are covered with open-air
workshops, market stands etc. The former free andbeautiful view from the street of Bhaktapur, where
the snow capped mountain was visible has now been
occupied with buildings. Thimi has comparably
with Bhaktapur along a new suburb that Chinese
street received almost already catchment area of
Kathmandu.
When we reached the Ring road we were again in
the turmoil, in the chaos, which I've already
described above. We struggled to reach the hotel, met
our troops again. We wanted to spend two nights at
the hotel and reserved it. We went to KS, our
Nepalese friend, who wants to settle at the valley edge,
in Buddhanilkantha.
Monday, 9th October
Water splash, little wind, sun, Bougainvillea and
other shrubs bloom, distant dogs bark, otherwise
quiet and peace! The water runs slowly in the half
empty swimming pool of VLS house. Gigantic plot of
land at the foot of the Shivapuri aboveBuddhanilkantha, where the stone image of Vishnu
rests on a stone built snake bed in a water pool.
The plot of land is so large that it can be used for
three comfortable housings, for gardens and some
fields as a reserve for further housing.
Good quality of water passes here because it lies
near to the source of the brook, that supplies water to
a small part of Kathmandu.
Bhaktapur 40 years ago
Wednesday, 11th October (Bhaktapur)
VLS driver drops first the children at the different
schools in Patan in order to take us to Bhaktapur.
At the eastern outskirts of Patan, near to theRing road, I recognized the eastern Stupa of that four,
Ashoka Stupas, of this city. During my stay here in
the past, the Stupas the monument belonged to the
oldest religious buildings of Nepal - stood far outside
in the fields. Willful constructions and toleration (by
officials) of unplanned buildings closer and around
this monument is a big shame. The former path to the
fields has grown to a busy street. The busy street and
the Stupa in only about five meter distance, a bamboo
scaffolding the tip of the Stupa. Repairs were under
way. Such unwarranted actions had already changed
the structure of Stupa. Where is the Archeology
Department?Bhaktapur, the third largest city in the valley, has
been received very well as a historic center, the new
buildings have been displaced at the edge.
Entrance into the city costs 10$ per nose,
expensive, expensive! But if the money is invested
into the city renewal, it is okay.
We were comfortable to see only few structures
have changed: there were still small shops, simpleteashops. Generally one cannot drive inside the city.
One can park the cars at the edge of the city. The new
building with good Terracotta brick stones facade has
adapt itself in its height and width.
It can be seen well that a development project
(Entwicklungshilfe project) has so persistently been
continued in Bhaktapur, so that architectural and
artistic advanced culture was able to rescue itself into
the new time. This city rehabilitation program had
begun in the middle of the 70s funded by BRD of
Bhaktapur in 2006

Germany (BRD) and were rehabilitated by German
architects, city planners. Not only the buildings the
Germans improved the water supply, sewers were put
and the First Sewage Treatment Plant was
constructed orderly.The Germans also tried to improve the income of
the inhabitants through helping businesses. How far
it has been successful that we cannot judge but we
can assess that the restaurant still exists after 30
years in the front of the 5 storied (Nyatapola) Pagoda,
a well structured, clean and well managed temple. We
enjoyed the view with the coffee at the upper floor.
In the afternoon, we went on foot from
Pashupati to Bauddhanath with the photos of the
1960 ties in the hand, I compare photos with the
current situation: The Stupa of Bauddhanath had
been laid in the middle of the fields, surrounded with
two to three storied houses . The roofs were covered
with straw. Today the same view over 3 to 6 storied
building made of concrete. The golden tip of the
Stupa can only be recognized.
The Stupa: The Bauddhanath Stupa is the centre
of its own city. Where do the money come from, also
for the gigantic new Tibetannischen monastery and
on the surrounding hills with best distance visibility?
About 5 pm on a weekday no chance fromhere to Swayambhunath, per tourist bus over the
Ring road. Discontinuance, back to Kathmandu, to
Thamel on detours the traffic jam. The bus is full,
the sweat of the driver is also full in the Monsoon
muggy.
Wednesday, 18th October
Hotel Monument Paradise, on the roof terrace: An
Englishman is in hurry, a young German lady goes
Eastside of the temple 40 years ago
along with him. The German lady wants to do
something for the Nepalese women. She would like to
sell domestic felt clothes in Germany, "From women
for women" - so it is her Motto!,, without the evil men.
The women are only exploited by the men!.My view over the roof landscape of Kathmandu:
Over the area of the junction of Vishnumati and
Bagmati with good view of vultures circle highly
above probably attracted of not burned parts of the
corpse , on bad buried corpses or of animal cadaver,
which has been washed around the stinking broth of
both,, holy,, rivers. Both rivers are with sewer,
although only a slight part of the sewages of the
metropolis flow in the rivers. Where do the flushes
sink? So far I know, there is no Sewage Treatment
Plant for probably 1.5 million Kathmandu inhabitants
and not also for another million inhabitants of thevalley. Have they seen Sewage Treatment Plant in
Bhaktapur, that was constructed 30 years ago with
the money of Germany and with the German
specialists for this old town!!! Is it (Sewage
Treatment Plant) yet in operation in Bhaktapur?
From 5 pm, sales booths are allowed to
standardize and built in many city areas in order to
hinder traffics and other things. Sidewalks, even on
the New Road are covered by the street dealers. The
pedestrians are forced to come to the busy streets. It
is the joy for the cars and motorcyclist. I do it thesame thing(I came also to the busy street because the
pavements were covered by the street dealers).
The horn is more important than the fourth
wheel of the car. Crowded, pushing, cheating- gladly,
disturbing the traffic participants on its side, seek
spaces and quickly close them!!
What the people want to sell! Everything! Each
and every house has a shop on its ground floor. In the
city, in the country side, on the country roads, and its
side lanes: The excessive supply of the goods.

in concrete building are like showing off. In front of
those buildings the poor salesmen, usually
withvegetable and fruits, the thinnest Indians
pushing their bicycles through the lanes, carrying full
of bananas, oranges, Chinese apples. They have beenorganized well. In this manner useful and useless
fruits are being offered, the fight for the survival!
None of the Nepalese sell the fruits in this way.
Areas of the old town such as before 30, 40 years,
with only few 7- stored houses on a base of often not
more than 20 square meters! Something else the old,
the familiarized atmosphere! A few more facade with
carved doors and windows but the money is missing
to modernize it.
The Temple, the Pagodas are being optically
pushed down by the high new buildings: My
introduction text in the book " The TraditionalArchitecture of the Kathmandu Valley" encounters no
longer to it, it shines no more the tips of the golden
Temple over the roofs of the settlements!
In the place of the golden tips of the temple the
Plastics tanks and satellite dish can be seen!
Kathmandu, which has 100000 inhabitants, has
been increased more than 1 million of population!
Which city of the world has increased its population
tenfold within 20 years? And also, that without any
Town Planning!!!! It is Absolutely Not in Order. The
small routes (paths) which lead into the fields, oftennarrow dams between rice fields are now main
development veins for the new city zones.
Where are the pipe lines for the water supply and
electric lines for electricity ? The visibility are: The
electric lines are bundled at the post, mixed with the
telephone lines. Where are the
sewers?
The water supply at the surrounding countryside
shows the capacity of more than 20 years before!
[No development of water supply for the increasing
population in the valley]
Water is pumped out from the stream, ground of the
valley, deep well upwards: Streams and rivers are
drying up.
The rich people, for example, who settled in
Buddhanilkantha in large houses, did this with the
vision: At the foot of the mountain Shivapuri collects
water of good quality. The water from Shivapuri
wants to flow into the valley but is tapped already far
above. Dozens of black plastic pipes fill the precious
goods probably free of charge in the plots of land,
which are highly walled around , irrigate gardens,
filling up the swimming pools, running through thetoilets. (Drinking water in a good quality can be
bought in plastic bottles. How long the filling factory
Matatirtha could hold the capacity for the
consumers?)
Low below, in the valley, to the cities, the
streams are drying, they can no more fill up the rivers.Even in the monsoon time gluts it only to better
streams up.
Besides other the Toyota dealer also lives here in
Budhanilkantha.
The Import licenses for more than thousand mini
buses made him millionaire by the means of the
blessing of license. Not only the prime-minister the
further government employees of his sphere has also
influences and are supposed to benefit economically
by the importing of the cars.
They (politicians) also live almost next to the
general manager of the SOS children's villagesNepals (money source?).
I must admit however that the people are
satisfied with the public traffic means - I too belonged
to that public traffic for 14 days. Nowadays if
someone has recognized the system then one can
come at every place within and also outside the valley,
such as towards Banepa and Dhulikhel, in mini buses,
electro Scooter, taxis. Few electric buses of the
government, which were contributed 30 year ago by
the Chinese Government, are not recognizable. These
electric buses run only upto the direction of theairport. For the further direction to the Bhaktapur
stands only the concrete stakes, hang tired
remainders of the cables.
The second largest river, the Vishnumati, at the
west side of the old town of Kathmandu passing, is
green brown and stinky. For the holy river Bagmati
according to news report- rescue project starts in
order to secure for Pashupatinath, the holiest place in
Nepal, all-year at least a stream for the ritual baths.
Years old plans should take in action and come to be
true but Who believes it? In this present political
situation! I put Kathmandu Post to the side, forced
myself to move through the mass of the people in the
direction of the New Road, Tudhikhel, I found "Three
Wheeler" with the number 5 and chug along to the
direction of Buddhanilkantha.
