Listen for free

View show details

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the rise of the Rana dynasty, a family of hereditary prime ministers who effectively ruled Nepal from 1846 to 1951. After the Kot Massacre, where Jung Bahadur Rana seized power, the Ranas sidelined the Shah monarchy and ran Nepal as their personal fiefdom. Lucas explains the infamous 'roll call of death,' the Treaty of Sugauli's lasting impact, and how the Ranas modernized Nepal's infrastructure while crushing dissent. The conversation covers key figures like Jang Bahadur, Chandra Shamsher, and the brutal suppression of the 1950 revolution led by King Tribhuvan. Discover how a single family's ambition kept Nepal isolated for over a century and how its legacy still shapes the country today. #RanaDynasty #JangBahadurRana #KotMassacre #TreatyOfSugauli #NepalHistory #ShahMonarchy #ChandraShamsher #Tribhuvan #1950Revolution #HereditaryPrimeMinisters #NepalOligarchy #SouthAsiaHistory #HimalayanHistory #NepalPolitics #19thCenturyNepal #20thCenturyNepal #History #FexingoHistory #HimalayanKingdoms #KathmanduValley Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
