Nepal's Shah Dynasty: The 1846 Kot Massacre
In this episode of The History of Nepal, Lucas and Luna delve into the bloody 1846 Kot Massacre that ended the Shah monarchy's real power and ushered in the Rana oligarchy. Learn how Queen Rajyalakshmi's ambition, the murder of her favorite general Gagan Singh, and the chaos at the Kot palace guard led to the slaughter of over 30 nobles. Discover how Jang Bahadur Kunwar, later Rana, masterfully manipulated the aftermath to become prime minister and reduce King Rajendra and his son Surendra to figureheads. The episode also explores the immediate causes, the role of the queen's rivalry with the senior queen Samrajyalakshmi, and how this single night set Nepal on a century-long path of hereditary rule by the Rana family.
