Nepal's 1815-16 Anglo-Nepalese War and the Treaty of Sugauli

A detailed look at the Anglo-Nepalese War (1814-1816) and the Treaty of Sugauli that redrew Nepal's borders. We follow the Gurkha commander Amar Singh Thapa's defence of the Malaun fort, the British East India Company's strategy under David Ochterlony, and the political fallout for Bhimsen Thapa's regime in Kathmandu. Lucas and Luna examine how the war transformed Nepal from a expanding Himalayan power into a landlocked nation, and how the Gurkha soldiers' reputation led to British recruitment into the Indian Army. The episode also touches on the forgotten Battle of Jitgadh and the role of the Kumaon and Garhwal regions.
