Nepal's Royal Massacre: The End of the Shah Dynasty
On June 1, 2001, Nepal was shattered by a royal massacre that killed King Birendra, Queen Aishwarya, and seven other members of the royal family. Crown Prince Dipendra was named the perpetrator, but controversy and conspiracy theories have swirled ever since. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the events of that night in the Narayanhiti Palace, the aftermath that brought King Gyanendra to the throne, and the political crisis that followed. They delve into the official report, the weapons involved, and the unanswered questions—from a possible love affair gone wrong to whispers of a political coup. They also trace how the massacre weakened the monarchy, paving the way for the abolition of the Shah dynasty in 2008 and the rise of Nepal's federal republic. Drawing on survivor testimonies and investigative journalism, this episode offers a gripping, personal account of a turning point in modern Nepali history.
