Nepal 1814 Malaun Fort: Amar Singh Thapa's Last Stand
In this episode of The History of Nepal, Lucas and Luna explore the dramatic last stand of Amar Singh Thapa at Malaun Fort in 1814, a pivotal battle in the Anglo-Nepalese War. While the Gurkha forces were eventually defeated, Thapa's resilience became legendary. The conversation covers Thapa's command of the western front, the strategic importance of the fort, and how the Treaty of Sugauli redrew Nepal's borders. They also discuss Thapa's legacy as a unifying figure in Nepali history, and the cultural memory of the war in both Nepal and India. This episode sheds light on a lesser-known chapter of Nepal's military history, revealing the complexities of early 19th-century Himalayan geopolitics.
