Nepal 1810: The Gorkhali Conquest of Garhwal
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Gorkhali expansion into the Garhwal kingdom in the early 19th century, a campaign that set the stage for the Anglo-Nepalese War. They focus on the 1810 siege of Srinagar and the role of Amar Singh Thapa, the Gorkhali commander who pushed into the hills of what is now Uttarakhand. The conversation covers the strategic importance of Garhwal, the resistance led by King Pradyumna Shah, and the brutal mountain warfare that characterized the conflict. They discuss the aftermath of the conquest, including the Gorkhali administration and the eventual cession of Garhwal to the British after the Treaty of Sugauli. The episode also touches on the cultural blending of Gorkhali and Garhwali traditions, and the legacy of Amar Singh Thapa as a folk hero in both Nepal and India.
