Ep: 336 | Nepal in Early 2000 B.S: Historical Insights, Indian Influence | SURYA BAHADUR SEN

Explore the rich and complex history of Nepal in our latest podcast, diving deep into the early 2000 B.S. era and its impact on modern-day Nepal. We start with a look into Nepal’s history in the early 2000 B.S., examining the prevalent blind faith in historical times and the educational reforms that began shaping the nation. Discover how Indian influence impacted textbooks in the Terai region and how the Rana dynasty’s divide and rule strategy was used to control and maintain supremacy over Nepali communities.

This podcast also sheds light on the marginalization of the Madhesi people and contrasts the Panchayat system with the current democracy in Nepal. We discuss how nonproductive projects were initiated, leading to significant resource wastage, and examine King Mahendra’s efforts to protect Nepal’s national interests post-2017 BS coup, empowering Nepali citizens. Learn about King Birendra’s simple lifestyle, and hear insights from Surya Bahadur Sen on the royal massacre and the Kshatriya origins of the Newar community.

Additionally, we touch on the educational shift in Nepal around 2000 B.S., the origins of terms like “Laure,” and how Indian influence shaped Nepal’s educational and economic systems. Join us as we unravel the political, social, and cultural transformations that have influenced Nepal’s unique identity.
