Nepal's 1769 Fall of Kantipur: The Last King of the Mallas
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the final days of the Malla dynasty in the Kathmandu Valley, focusing on the siege of Kantipur in 1769. They discuss the last Malla king, Jaya Prakash Malla, his desperate alliance with the British East India Company, the role of the Newar merchant Goverdhan Das, and the brutal street fighting that ended centuries of Malla rule. The episode also touches on the controversial figure of Prithvi Narayan Shah and his use of deception to breach the city's defenses. Drawing on the 18th-century chronicles and recent archaeological findings, the hosts debate whether the fall was inevitable or a matter of missed opportunities.
