Nepal's 1950 Revolution: The End of Rana Rule
In 1950, Nepal's century-old Rana dynasty faced its greatest challenge. King Tribhuvan, the symbolic Shah monarch, fled his palace for the Indian embassy, sparking a political crisis that would end 104 years of hereditary prime ministers. This episode traces the revolution that toppled the Ranas, from the secret plotting of the Nepali Congress party and King Tribhuvan's daring escape to the armed uprising in the Tarai and the Delhi Compromise of 1951. We explore the roles of key figures like Mohan Shumsher, the last Rana prime minister, and the Indian government's mediation. The episode delves into how this movement, blending democratic aspirations with monarchical restoration, set the stage for Nepal's turbulent experiment with multiparty democracy—and how the Shah dynasty reclaimed power, only to face its own crisis two decades later.
