| Abstract: |
Result of a lifetime's devotion, Making of Modern Nepal is a landmark publication. It's an empirical, up-to-date study of a creative commotion that built a nation. Employing archaeological evidences, chronicles, paper documents and stone - pillar inscriptions, Dr. Pandey presents a comprehensive account of the cultural and historical potential of the western Nepal in the making of Modern Nepal since early medieval period. Beginning the book with a brief account of the land and the people, geology and pre- history along with the history of the various ethnic groups and a cursory glance at the region since the times of Mahajanapadas in a nutshell; Modern Nepal traces the political history of the Malla dynasty, of Doti and Dadeldhura districts under the Rainkas and provides an in - depth study of the Jumla valley under the Kalyalas. For the first time in the history of Nepalese studies, Dr. Pandey ingeniosly unravels the hidden pages of the obscure history of the Baisese states.
The baisese ruled over western Nepal for about four hundred years after Malla simultaneously with Rainkas and Kalyalas until its amalgamation with the domination of Nepal by the Gorkhalis during 1779-90. Here Dr. Pandey sheds light on the process of unification of the region under the dominion of Nepal, elabiorating on the measures which Shah Kings took to modernise Nepal. Describing the socio- cultural heritage of western Nepal and process of development of the administrative machinery along with information about royal courts and village Panchayats, Dr. Pandey adds detailed chapters on the confluence of various religions, with a special focus on Lamaistic Buddhism and the archetural traditions that flourished there. Making of Modern Nepal is a mammoth tribute at the creative energy of the people of Western Nepal in shaping the fate and distinct identity of the Himalayan Kingdom, Nepal. |
