                        By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Research Student)
                          Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah Winning Kirtipur
          Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah captured Dhulikhet, Chaukot, Panauti, Khangyur and Benapa. Afraid from Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah, collectively the Kings of Lumjung and Chaubisi attacked on Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah in 1763. However Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah defeated them and they ran away from battlefield.  In 1761, Sur Pratap the brother of Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah attacked on Kirtipur. This was second attack of Gorkha on Kirtipur.
 Kirtipur army fought bravely and defeated Gorkha Army. Kirtipur soldier threw an arrow on Sur Pratap Shah and he lost his eye. Gorkha army returned back.
          Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah was in rage. He surrounded Kirtipur from all side and stopped food and other supply for Kirtipur.  Army of Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah entered into Kirtipur fort. The Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah army assured the Kirtipur people to surrender and there won’t be any harm to them. People surrendered before Gorkha army.
 However, cruel Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah sent message to his brother Surupratna to cut the nose and lips of all people barring children. Gorkha army cut the nose and lips of people with force. He also ordered that cut nose and lips should be preserved that he would see those in his visit to Kirtipur.
 Gorkha army cut nose and lips of Kirtipur people. Many people did suicide as they could not bear the shame of nose-lessness and lip-lessness.
  Christian Missionary Father Michel requested to stop the inhuman deeds but Gorkha army was bent to cut nose and lips of people. It was said that the weight of cut nose and lips was 17 Dharni or 40.61 Kilograms.
           
           Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah defeating east India Army
     After winning Nuvakot and Makwanpur, Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah blocked the channel of trade of East India Company with Nepal region and Tibet. Nepal region used to export rice (two lakh Man per year (one Man =40 Kg app)) , Grains, Ghee, oil seeds, leather, spices, copper, live stock  and other materials. Indian goods as cotton and cotton dresses, suger, salt were exported to Nepal.
 Indian traders and East India Company’s agents had stocking stores and houses in Nepal.
 East India Company was interested to export goods from India to China and Tibet via Nepal.
 Due to economic blockade by Prithvi Narayan Shah, Bhadgaon, Patan and Kathmandu experienced economic depression.
 Kathmandu King Jay Prakash Mall was aware about Hills Kingdoms were not capable to help him, So, Mall  sent his emissary to East India Company for help against Prithvi Narayan Shah in April 1767.
       Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah was keeping watch on Jay Prakash Mall. Prakash Narayan Shah sent a letter to east India Company. Jay Prakash Mall was ready to pay for the expenses of East India Company army. East India Company got Baksar under them in 1764. Gorkha army used to attack on Baksar and loot there.
 On 30th April 1767, Company sent a warning letter to Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah to lift the economic blockade on Kathmandu. Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah did not care for East India Company.
 Under the leadership of Captain Kinloch, East India Company sent army of 2800 soldiers to Nepal without judging the hill situation.  Kinloch reached to Sindhuligadhi via Janakpuri. Kinloch marched ahead and his troop faced the problem of food supply on the way to Kathmandu. The soldiers had to live without proper food. In the mean time, rain season started. Many soldiers ran away. There was flood in the way. The Bridge of Bagmati River fled. The loaders also ran away from the troop. Kinloch started to return back to Baksar. Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah army followed the East India Company Army till Tarai. Gorkha army killed East India Company soldiers. Out of 2800 soldiers, only 800 soldiers could return to Baksar.

                        By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Research Student)

 The first record of Christian Missionaries reaching Nepal dates back to 1628. Lakshmi Narayan Singh received Portuguese Jesuit Father Juan Cabral with grace. The Mall Kings of Kathmandu valley allowed missionaries to spread their religion in valley. The first Curch in Nepal was built in Kathmandu in 1715.
 In 1703, six Capuchin Fathers from Rome travelled to Nepal. Only two could reach to Kathmandu and settled there. Mall Kings were favorable to Christian Missionaries. 
Father Michael Angelo treated bother of Prithvi Narayan when he was injured in war. Missionaries requested East India Company to attack on Prithvi Narayan Shah.
  After capturing Patan, Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah expelled the Fathers and missionary supporters from Newar Region. Missonaries fathers and supporters went towards Betia on 1oth February 1769.
 Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah also expelled those who helped East India Company as Kashmiris, Gusain and Many fakirs.
 It was not possible to win Prithvi Narayan Shah. Therefore, East India Company decided to have cordial relation with Prithvi Narayan Shah. East India Company sent its agent James Logan to Nepal for negotiation with Gorkha King. However, James was not successful to have treaty.
 Now, Prithvi Narayan Shah started capturing small countries one by one. Those Kingdoms asked help from East India Company but East India Company did not help any Nepali Kingdom against Prithvi Narayan Shah.

   History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon and Haridwar) -534
 
                        By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Research Student)

 Many Kingdoms asked help from East India Company to fight with Prithvi Narayan Shah. However, with initial failure, East India Company did not wish to fight with Prithvi Narayan Shah. On the contrary, East India Company was more interested in cordial relation with Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah for expending the trade with Tibet and China through Nepal territory.
 Slowly, there was relation between Prithvi Narayan and East India Company. In 1774, Warren Hasting and Prithvi Narayan suppress the oppression of Naga those used to loot from Haridwar to Nepal Tarai and Bengal. When decedents captured hills of Vijaya Garh, Prithvi Narayan sent his army to suppress the opponents on request of wife of Warren Hasting. Hasting appreciated the acts of Prithvi Narayan Shah.

                Chaubisi Campaign in Gorkha King Ran Bahadur Period
History of Gorkha /Nepal Rule over Kumaun, Garhwal and Himachal (1790-1815) -19

                 It was important for both Rajya Lakshmi and Bahadur Shah that they continued the Gorkha Kingdom expansion as initiated by Prithvi Narayan Shah.  It was also essential that to minimize conspiracies and tussles among court elites that the Kingdom kept busy in wars and battles.  Encouraged by tussles between Rajya Lakshmi and Bahadur Shah, Chaubisi Region Kings started attacking on Gorkha Kingdom.  When Bahadur Shah got Care Taker (Nayab) position, he sent an army to suppress Chaubisi Region Kingdoms. When Gorkha army reached to Tanhun in Jnuary 1778, the Tanhun King ran away and took asylum I Palpa.  Later on the combined forces of Tanhun, Palpa and Parvatraj captured back the hill regions of Tanhun and Chitaun from Gorkha Army. Now, the Chaubisi combined force reached to Urdang Gadhi. Bahadur Shah sent another army to tackle the situation. The new force defeated Chaubisi combine force. In 1779, Tahun King had to flee towards plains.
 In the mean time, Rajya Lakshmi got again the position of Nayab and Bahadur Shah had to flee to Patna. Tanhun army again got back the Tanhun hill territory from Gorkha. In December January 1781, Caubisi combined force attacked on Gorkha region.
