Question

Mention the negative effects of rana regime​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Ranas were an elite living in luxury on the surplus extracted from an agrarian population without making the dedicated effort for ‘development’ which is now demanded of governments. They were thus ‘exploitative’, but the same could be said of the rulers of almost any traditional agrarian society and certainly of the Nepali state in the years before 1846.

The elaborate stucco palaces built in imitation of Versailles and Buckingham Palace, the jewelled head-dresses, the richly-caparisoned elephants, the scale of the hunting expeditions, were all part of this and so, for many of the maharajas, was the pursuit of sex.
