Nepal 1816 Treaty of Sugauli The Gurkha Empire Lost
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Treaty of Sugauli, signed in 1816 after the Anglo-Nepalese War. They discuss the dramatic territorial losses that reduced Nepal to a sliver of its former size, the role of British Governor-General Lord Moira and Gurkha commander Amar Singh Thapa, and the strategic miscalculations that led to the war. They also look at the treaty's long-term consequences, including the creation of the 'Gurkha soldier' legend and the border disputes that still simmer today. Specific details include the cession of Kumaon, Garhwal, and Sikkim, the establishment of a British Resident in Kathmandu, and the financial indemnity that nearly bankrupted the Shah dynasty. The episode also touches on how the treaty shaped Nepal's policy of isolation for the next century.
