Newa State is one of the proposed states in the new Federal Republic of
Nepal, located in Kathmandu Valley. It is advocated by the Newa Rastriya Mukti
Morcha-Nepal (Newar National Liberation Front-Nepal), a movement allied with the
Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist. Besides their demands for an autonomous state,
they want to strengthen the status of their language - Nepal Bhasa and make the
lunar calendar - Nepal Sambat - an official one.
