Nepal's 1816 Treaty of Sugauli and the Loss of a Kingdom
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Treaty of Sugauli, which ended the Anglo-Nepalese War in 1816 and reduced the Gorkha kingdom to roughly its modern borders. They discuss how the treaty forced Nepal to cede Kumaon, Garhwal, and Sikkim, and to accept a British Resident in Kathmandu. The conversation covers the treaty's terms, the role of David Ochterlony, the controversial figure of Bhimsen Thapa who negotiated it, and the long-term consequences including Nepal's inward turn and the strategic Kalapani dispute still unresolved today. They also touch on Nepal's unique status among South Asian kingdoms—never fully colonized but heavily circumscribed.
