Guthi or Gosthi^[a] is a social system of the Newar community in Nepal. With land trusts, Guthis support the socio-economic status of their communities.^[1] 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 In 2019, the Guthi bill—which proposed nationalizing all Guthis—was withdrawn following protests by Newars in Kathmandu Valley.
