Nepal 1775 Prithvi Narayan Shah's Death and the Gorkha Succession Crisis

In 1775, Prithvi Narayan Shah, the architect of modern Nepal, died at a critical moment. This episode follows the succession struggle between his sons Pratap Singh Shah and Bahadur Shah, the role of Queen Rajendra Laxmi, and the fragile early years of the Gorkha Empire. We explore how factional infighting nearly undid the unification and how Bahadur Shah's later regency expanded the kingdom to its greatest extent before the Anglo-Nepalese War. Key figures include Prithvi Narayan Shah, Pratap Singh Shah, Bahadur Shah, Queen Rajendra Laxmi, and the courtiers who plotted for power. A story of ambition, betrayal, and survival in the Himalayan foothills.
