Talk:Unification of Nepal

I went through and made some edits to this article. There's good information here, but there were several instances in which very biased language was used, which I corrected. Evidently, some people still hold historical grievances against King Shah. I also provided a source for the statement that King Shah cut off the peoples lips and noses when he conquered Kirtipur, since that is an atrocity. I'm just trying to achieve a neutral and factual viewpoint. Bigdan201 (talk) 08:38, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't what happened be more accurately be described as a creation rather than a unification. Unification implies a preexisting entity, but there simply was no such thing as the Kingdom of Nepal until it was created by conquest. Prior to that what is presently Nepal was a series and collection of small kingdoms that were contiguous and part of the South Asia/Indian/Hindu geo cultural sphere and cannot historically be distinguished from the history of nearby parts of what are today Bihar, Uttarkhand, and Uttar Pradesh in India. Though much of the hill country in today's Nepal (pahar) was not ruled by empires based on the Ganges Plain, today's Terai was definitely ruled by Patilputra and Delhi for much of the Mauryan, Gupta, and Delhi Sultanate/Mughal Empires. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.164.62.134 (talk) 04:03, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Capital of Nepal
Kathmandu was the capital of Nepal before Shah came along, and he did not make it the capital. See "Cadmendu, the capital of the kingdom of Necbal" in Pratap Malla (Athanasius Kircher, S.J. (1677). China Illustrata. Translated by Dr. Charles D. Van Tuyl from 1677 original Latin edition. (1986). p. 68.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.166.200.85 (talk) 12:08, 20 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Before Prithivi Narayan Shah's conquest, there was no kingodm of Nepal, the today's Kathmandu valley with three kingdoms Kantipur(Kathmandu), Lalitpur(Patan), and Bhaktapur(Bhadgaon), was known as Nepal and comprised of three separate kingdoms. Until the victory of Kathmandu Nuwakot was the capital of Prithivi Narayan Shah's kingdom and when he occupied the valley he named his kingdom as Nepal and declared Kathmandu as the capital.

 * The Kingdom of Nepal existed way before Gorkhali conquest in Nepal. The confederation has many city-states, not just Yen (Kathmandu), Yala (Lalitpur) and Khwapa (Bhaktapur). Almost every town Tokha, Thaiba, Lubhu, Thakwaa (Thankot), Khona (Khokana), etc had their own Juju (king) and Laaykoo (palace). The juju don't exist, but Laayko still exists in almost every town.

Orphaned references in Unification of Nepal
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Unification of Nepal's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "nepalarmythree": From Kingdom of Nepal:  From History of Nepal:  

Reference named "nepalarmy": From Thapa: http://nepalarmy.mil.np/history.php?page=two From Thapa dynasty:  From Balbhadra Kunwar:  From Abhiman Singh Basnet:  From Kingdom of Nepal: https://www.nepalarmy.mil.np/page/history</li> <li>From Bahadur Shah of Nepal: </li> <li>From Gorkha Kingdom: </li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 21:42, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

I believe the Original Research tag can be removed. Not sure about the Neutrality tag. Posting here for discussion. Shisma9 (talk) 03:38, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
