Prithvi Narayan Shah's Vision of Asal Hindustan
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Prithvi Narayan Shah's political philosophy, focusing on his concept of 'Asal Hindustan' or 'true Hindustan' as laid out in the Dibya Upadesh. They discuss how this vision rejected Mughal influence, promoted a Hindu kingdom, and shaped Nepal's identity. The conversation touches on the chaar varna and chhattis jaat (four varnas and thirty-six castes), the economic policy of closing trade routes to Tibet, and the legacy of his unification campaign. Specific figures like the Malla kings of Kantipur and Bhaktapur are referenced, as well as the strategic significance of the Kuti pass. The episode provides a nuanced look at how a 18th-century king's ideas continue to echo in modern Nepal's national consciousness.
