Nepal 1795: Damodar Pande and the Mukhtiyar's Rise

8 min•24 juli 2026

In 1795, Nepal's Gorkhali Empire faced internal turmoil after King Rana Bahadur Shah's minority. Damodar Pande, a shrewd Kaji, emerged as Mukhtiyar — the first non-royal to wield supreme executive power. This episode explores his political maneuvering, the 1795 execution of rival Kaji Kirtiman Singh Basnet, and the consolidation of the Pande family's influence. We delve into the Nepalese court's factionalism, the role of Queen Rajendra Laxmi, and how Damodar navigated tensions with Tibet and China. Discover the origins of the Mukhtiyar office, a precursor to the modern Prime Minister, and how Pande's policies set the stage for the Anglo-Nepalese War. A story of ambition, loyalty, and the fragile balance of power in the shadow of the Himalayas.
