Guthi

title: Guthi
text: Guthi or Gosthi is a social system of the Newar people in Nepal. With land trusts, Guthis support the socio-economic status of their communities. The land held by Guthis is used for various projects and to generate revenue. The system began around the 5th century B.C., and most Guthis are now either defunct or a vestigial representation of their former role. In 2019, the Guthi bill—which proposed nationalizing all Guthis—was withdrawn following protests by Newars in Kathmandu Valley.
