The 1814 Gurkha War: Nepal vs the British East India Company
In this episode, we explore the Anglo-Nepalese War of 1814–1816, a conflict that pitted the expanding Gurkha kingdom against the British East India Company. Lucas and Luna delve into the war's origins, key battles like the Siege of Nalapani and the Battle of Malaun, and the legendary defense by Amar Singh Thapa. They discuss the tactics of both sides, the role of the recently conquered hill forts, and the war's aftermath: the Treaty of Sugauli, which redefined Nepal's modern borders and forced the Shah dynasty to cede Kumaon, Garhwal, and Sikkim. Along the way, they consider how the Company's initial contempt for Gurkha fighters turned into a grudging respect that led to Gurkha recruitment into the British army. This episode covers a pivotal moment that shaped Nepal's territorial integrity and its relationship with British India.
