Nepal's 1951 Revolution: The People Who Overthrew the Ranas
In 1951, a popular uprising in Nepal ended 104 years of Rana autocracy and restored the Shah monarchy. This episode dives into the key players and moments: the Nepali Congress and its armed wing, the Mukti Sena; the tragic battle of Nuwakot; King Tribhuvan's dramatic asylum in the Indian embassy; the Delhi Accord that brokered the transition; and the brief, hopeful experiment with democracy under Prime Minister Matrika Prasad Koirala. We explore how the revolution united students, peasants, and exiled politicians against the Rana regime led by Mohan Shamsher, and how the outcome was shaped as much by Indian mediation as by local determination. The story of the 1951 revolution is not just a political shift—it's a window into Nepal's struggle for self-determination between two giant neighbors.
