A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON, PRITHVI NARAYAN SHAH: THE ANTI-IMPERIALIST (BRITISH IMPERIALISM AND NEPALESE RESPONSE 1743-1775)

Abstract

This research article explores the role of Prithvi Narayan Shah as a staunch anti-imperial leader who successfully resisted the British expansionism in South Asia, especially in Nepal. His strategic foresight, diplomatic acumen, and military prowess enabled Nepal to remain independent during the period when most of the Indian subcontinents fell under the British control. This study delves into the British imperialistic ambitions in the 18th century and examines Nepal's vigorously defendant responses under Prithvi Narayan Shah’s leadership.
