During most of that period, the Kathmandu Valley has been Nepal's political, economic, and cultural center. The valley's fertile soil supported thriving village farming communities, and its location along trans-Himalayan trade routes allowed merchants and rulers alike to profit. Since the fourth century, the people of the Kathmandu Valley have developed a unique variant of South Asian civilization based on Buddhism and Hinduism but influenced as well by the cultures of local Newar citizens and neighboring Tibetans. One of the major themes in the history of Nepal has been the transmission of influences from both the north and the south into an original culture. During its entire history, Nepal has been able to continue this process while remaining independent. Nepal took a fateful turn in the mid-nineteenth century when its prime ministers, theoretically administrators in service to the king, usurped complete control of the government and reduced the kings to puppets. By the 1850s, a dynasty of prime ministers called Rana had imposed upon the country a dictatorship that would last about 100 years. The Ranas distrusted both their own people and foreignersin short, anyone who could challenge their own power and change their position. As the rest of the world underwent modernization, Nepal remained a medieval nation, based on the exploitation of peasants and some trade revenues and dominated by a tradition-bound aristocracy that had little interest in modern science or technology.

    Extractions: home Asia Nepal History Nepal, History Although Nepal emerged in history in the first millennium bc, it was only in the 18th century that Nepal developed as a country of the present size. Archaeological remains suggest that areas of Nepal have been inhabited for more than 10,000 years. The Kirant hill tribe people are thought to be the first rulers of the Kathmandu area. The earliest undisputed Nepali dynasty is the Licchavi dynasty, which was established in about ad 400. The Licchavi dynasty, which probably migrated from present-day Vaishali, India, was centered in the Kathmandu Valley. The Licchavi dynasty expanded its influence to the Kali Gandaki River in the west and Sun Kosi River in the east. The Licchavi period, as well as the Malla period that followed, was deeply influenced by Indian culture. The Licchavi dynasty came to an end in the late 9th century and was followed by the medieval period. The early medieval era was unstable and poorly documented. It culminated in the Malla period (1200 to 1769) when three separate dynasties, divided into three kingdoms in the late 15th century, were conquered by the Shah dynasty in 1769, led by King Prithvi Narayan Shah. Nepal’s southward expansion under the Shah dynasty resulted in a clash with the English East India Company. The Anglo-Nepalese War (1814-1816) reduced the country to its current size, although Nepal retained its independence. The Rana autocracy was increasingly criticized in the late 1940s, particularly by dissidents residing in India. The political-reform movement, which was approved by the Indian government and directed by the newly created Nepali Congress Party, won the support of King Bir Bikram Tribhuvana. Like his predecessors under the Ranas, he possessed purely nominal powers. His intervention in domestic politics deepened the crisis, however, and he was removed from the throne in 1950 by Prime Minister Maharaja Mohan Shumsher Rana. A few days later the king fled to India and Nepali Congress insurgents began military operations along the southern frontier. In 1951 Prime Minister Rana allowed a reorganization of the Nepalese government along democratic lines and the king was reinstalled. Friction between the Rana and Congress Party factions culminated in November 1951 when Prime Minister Rana was removed from power and the Congress Party formed a government headed by Matrika Prasad Koirala.

    Extractions: The SHAH Kings and RANAS Isolated Nepal Eventhough the Shah Dynasty continued in 1846 a Chhetri named Jung Bahadur Rana engineered the Kot Massacre, in which hundreds of the most important men in the Kingdom were brutally killed, and led to Jung Bahadur Rana gaining the title of prime minister. The Ranas now were the second royal family but had virtually all the power on the country, leaving the Shah Kings as puppets. The Ranas stayed in power for over 100 years, stagnating development in the country but at least holding back colonial powers. Nepal was never ruled by colonial powers. Nepal after WWII The people's movement A series of non violent protests and meetings called "the people's movement" were held to which the government responded with bullets, tear gas, thousands of arrests and torcher. After several months of curfews and rioting, on 9th April 1990 King Birendra lifted the ban on political parties and a week later he asked the opposition to lead the government and accepted his new role. Over 300 people died in this "People's movement." Democracy In February 1996 the Nepal Comunist Party-Maoist (NCP-M) were formed and started fighting against the constitutional monarchical democratic system. In the following three years over 600 people were killed through this insurgency. Since then their popularity and power has been increasing and their activities spread from the north-west of Nepal throughout the whole country.

    Extractions: Potala Palace - Lhasa, Tibet Steve Laska founded the Endless Knot Rug Company in 1980, after living and studying in Nepal from 1977 through 1979. He lived in the small village of Boudhanath, which is a Buddhists pilgrimage destination and where Tibetans settled in the early sixties. It is also where Tibetans established small weaving facilities. While living in this Tibetan enclave, Laska realized the potential of producing this very old artform, which had not as yet been introduced to the American market. In 1980, Mr. Laska started importing traditional Tibetan designed carpets on a small scale. In the mid eighties he began working with artists who submitted designs specifically for Endless Knot. The business has since grown to become one of the nations leading direct importers and distributors of hand-woven Tibetan carpets. Much of the success of the business can be attributed to the close relationship between Laska and his sole manufacturer in Nepal that began in 1977. Today, top domestic and international artists work closely with the company in maintaining its industry leading presence. Offering a fresh approach, the designs and colors represent the finest examples of floor coverings in the United States. Now, with over 130 different designs and colorways in the Classic, Contemporary and Lhasa Collections, Endless Knot rugs are available at design center showrooms, oriental rug galleries and furniture showrooms throughout the United States and have been featured in Elle Décor, Interior Design, Metropolitan Home and Architectural Digest Magazines.

    Extractions: Modern Nepal was created in the latter half of the 18th century when Prithvi Narayan Shah, the ruler of the small principality of Gorkha, formed a unified country from a number of independent hill states. The country was frequently called the Gorkha Kingdom, the source of the term "Gurkha" used for Nepali soldiers. After 1800, the heirs of Prithvi Narayan Shah proved unable to maintain firm political control over Nepal. A period of internal turmoil followed, heightened by Nepal's defeat in a war with the British from 1814 to 1816. Stability was restored after 1846 when the Rana family gained power, entrenched itself through hereditary prime ministers, and reduced the monarch to a figurehead. The Rana regime, a tightly centralized autocracy, pursued a policy of isolating Nepal from external influences. This policy helped Nepal maintain its national independence during the colonial era, but it also impeded the country's economic development. In 1950, King Tribhuvan, a direct descendant of Prithvi Narayan Shah, fled his "palace prison" to newly independent India, touching off an armed revolt against the Rana administration. This allowed the return of the Shah family to power and, eventually, the appointment of a non-Rana as prime minister. A period of quasiconstitutional rule followed, during which the monarch, assisted by the leaders of fledgling political parties, governed the country. During the 1950s, efforts were made to frame a constitution for Nepal that would establish a representative form of government, based on a British model.
