Many
things can be written
on the history of Nepal.
Nepal is a small mountain
country north of the
Indian subcontinent.
The country is bordered
by the huge nations
of India and China.
Nepal is the world’s
only Hindu kingdom.
The country is a tourist’s
delight, and a brief
history of Nepal, may
be of interest to many.
Archaeologists have
discovered Neolithic
tools in the Kathmandu
Valley. This implies
that the region was
inhabited by human
beings for at least
9000 years. The country
was inhabited by races
of Tibeto-Burmese
origin of more than
2500 years. The country
was ruled by dynasties
such as the Sakya
dynasty, the Licchavi
dynasty, and Newars.
The nation was also
under the influence
of the Gupta dynasty
and Chalukya. Buddha
was a prince of the
Sakya clan.
The birth of modern
Nepal was held in
1768, under the king
of Gorkha, Prithvi
Narayan Shah. Later
in the nineteenth
century, a military
ruler, Jang Bahadur
established the Rana
dynasty.
