The Mithila Kingdom: Nepal's Lost Maithili Heartland
This episode of The History of Nepal ventures beyond the Kathmandu Valley and the Gorkha hills into the fertile Tarai plains, where the ancient kingdom of Mithila flourished for centuries. Lucas and Luna explore the rise of the Karnat dynasty under King Nanyadeva, the sacking of Mithila by the Delhi Sultanate under Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq, and the cultural renaissance of the later Oinwar dynasty. They discuss how Mithila's unique Maithili language and literature, particularly the poet Vidyapati, influenced the broader Indian subcontinent, and how the kingdom's legacy persists today in the Madhesh region of southern Nepal. The episode also touches on the delicate relationship between Mithila and the rising Shah kingdom of Gorkha, leading to its eventual absorption into Nepal.
