Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Delve into the sweeping saga of a nation forged between towering peaks and ancient myths, where every chapter reveals how geography, religion, and power struggles have shaped a unique cultural identity. From the Neolithic settlements of the Kathmandu Valley and the legendary creation of the lake by Manjushri, to the rise of the Kirat dynasty and the birth of Buddhism in Lumbini, you will trace the earliest footsteps of Nepal's people and see how myth and archaeology intertwine to lay the foundation of a storied past. Witness the golden age of the Licchavis, whose exquisite stone sculptures and pioneering inscriptions ushered in a era of artistic brilliance and international diplomacy, and follow the transition through the Thakuri period, the founding of the Nepal Sambat, and the flourishing yet fragmented Malla kingdoms that turned rivalries into an unparalleled explosion of pagoda temples, intricate woodcarvings, and vibrant festivals. Understand how the Gorkha king Prithvi Narayan Shah's patient strategy of encirclement and economic strangulation unified the valley, and how his vision of a "real land of Hindus" set the stage for centuries of Shah rule, expansion, and conflict with British and Chinese powers. Explore the dramatic shift to Rana autocracy after the Kot Massacre, a century of hereditary prime ministers who isolated the kingdom while extracting wealth through the birta and jhara systems, and see how World Wars, the return of the Shah monarch in 1951, and the brief democratic experiment gave way to King Mahendra's partyless Panchayat system-a top-down ideology that attempted to blend tradition with modernization. Feel the tension of the 1990 People's Movement that restored multiparty democracy, the tragic royal massacre of 2001, and the subsequent Maoist insurgency that plunged the nation into a decade-long civil war before a peace accord paved the way for a historic Constituent Assembly. Finally, experience Nepal's transformation into a Federal Democratic Republic, the challenges of drafting a constitution amid ethnic and regional demands, the 2015 earthquake and Indian blockade, and the ongoing struggle to build a stable federal state while grappling with remittance-driven economies, social inclusion, and the preservation of a living cultural heritage where Hinduism, Buddhism, Tantrism, and indigenous traditions coexist in festivals, art, music, and daily life. This comprehensive narrative equips you with a deep understanding of how a Himalayan nation has continually reinvented itself, offering insight into its past struggles and its hopeful steps toward a pluralistic future. A narrative of Nepal's past, from Neolithic settlements and mythic origins to the Licchavi era, Malla kingdoms, Gorkha unification, Rana rule, and modern Shah monarchy, showing how geography, religion, and power shaped its cultural i This item is printed on demand.
