The 1950 Revolution: End of the Rana Dynasty
Om avsnittet
For over a century, the Rana dynasty ruled Nepal with an iron fist, isolating the kingdom from the world while their families amassed immense wealth in Singha Durbar. But by 1950, cracks were forming in this autocratic system. This episode explores the dramatic 1950 revolution that finally toppled the Ranas, led by King Tribhuvan and supported by the Nepali Congress. We examine the pivotal moments in Kathmandu’s Durbar Square, the escape to the Indian embassy, and the Treaty of Tripartite that reshaped South Asian politics. Discover how internal dissent, external pressure from independent India, and the courage of ordinary citizens converged to end one of history’s longest-lasting shadow autocracies.
