What is Kot parva?explain

Answer 1

The Shah dynasty lost the control over Nepal when entire generation of these people were massacred in a coup called “Kot Parba” (Court massacre) in 1846. Hence forth, the sovereign power came with “Ranas” led by Jung Bahadur Rana. The Shahs were made titular monarchs and Ranas became real rulers under the hereditary Prime Minister system they established via this coup. Junbg Bahardur Rana was able to first codify the traditional laws and proclaim the so called “Muluki Ain” (Law of the Land) in 1854. Nine rulers of this dynasty ruled for entire one century till 1951 when increased dissatisfaction against the family rule resulted in the Revolution of 1951
