Nepal 1950: The Delhi Accord and the End of Rana Rule
In 1950, Nepal stood at a crossroads. King Tribhuvan, a figurehead under the autocratic Rana regime, fled to India, triggering a crisis that would end a century of hereditary prime ministers. This episode traces the Delhi Accord of 1951, the unlikely alliance between the Nepali Congress and King Tribhuvan, and the role of Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in brokering a settlement. We explore the final Rana prime minister, Mohan Shamsher, his last-ditch efforts to retain power, and the chaotic transitional government that followed. How did a 15-year-old king, Mahendra, watch from the wings? And why did the experiment with democracy last barely a decade? Through the eyes of figures like B.P. Koirala and the shadow of the Cold War, we uncover the compromises that shaped modern Nepal.
