Nepal 1907: The Muluki Ain and Legal Unification

8 min•16 juli 2026

This episode unpacks the Muluki Ain of 1907, Nepal's first modern legal code, drafted under Prime Minister Chandra Shamsher Rana. We explore how this sweeping set of laws codified caste hierarchy, centralized authority, and blended Hindu dharma with state control. Lucas and Luna discuss the code's origins in the wake of the Kot Massacre, its 1,700 clauses covering everything from marriage to criminal punishment, and its lasting impact on Nepali society. We also touch on how the Ain classified ethnic groups, regulated alcohol and meat consumption, and set penalties that varied by caste — a legal system that both unified and divided. A rich look at law as a tool of empire in the Himalayas.
