The Complete Life of Prithvi Narayan Shah | The Founder & Unifier of Modern Nepal | Gyankunda

The Complete Life of Prithvi Narayan Shah | The Founder & Unifier of Modern Nepal | Gyankunda He was born the ruler of a small hill kingdom, and died the founder of a nation. This is the complete, fact-checked life story of Prithvi Narayan Shah, the king who unified dozens of scattered kingdoms into a single country and became the founder of modern Nepal. Born in 1779 B.S. in the hill kingdom of Gorkha, Prithvi Narayan Shah ascended the throne at just 20 years of age, carrying a vision far larger than his tiny state, to unite the divided lands from the Himalayas to the plains under one flag. His journey was neither easy nor bloodless. From his first crushing defeat at Nuwakot, to his historic journey to Banaras for modern weapons, to the loss of his beloved commander Kalu Pande at Kirtipur, to the years-long economic blockade and the final fall of the Kathmandu Valley, this is the full story of how a nation was forged. The video covers his early life and character, the loyalty of Kaji Kalu Pande, the decisive conquests of Nuwakot, Kirtipur, Kantipur, Patan and Bhaktapur, the end of the Malla era, his victory over the East India Company's forces at Sindhuli, and finally his Divya Upadesh, the "divine counsel" he left as a guide for the nation, including his famous description of Nepal as "a yam between two boulders." This biography presents his towering achievements alongside the painful and debated chapters of the unification, such as the events at Kirtipur, fairly and honestly, letting you form your own understanding of one of the most consequential figures in Nepali history.
