In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Prithvi Narayan Shah's grand vision for a unified Nepal after his conquest of the Kathmandu Valley in 1769. They discuss his concept of a 'real Hindustan' — a kingdom where all ethnic and religious groups could coexist under a single sovereign, free from foreign interference. The conversation covers his administrative reforms, including the abolition of internal trade barriers, the promotion of the Nepali language, and his famous 'Divya Upadesh' (Divine Counsel) to his successors. They also delve into his controversial legacy as a unifier versus a conqueror, particularly regarding the Newar people of the Kathmandu Valley. This episode offers a nuanced look at the founding father of modern Nepal, highlighting his political genius and the complexities of nation-building in the 18th century.
