Answer:
Explanation:
It’s my firm belief, and i think most probable that, had King Prithvi Narayan Shah not reunified Nepal, we would be a part of India today, or some of our territories definitely might be. Why?? During PN Shah’s time, Nepal was divided into nearly 50 small principalities with their own Kings (Baise and Chaubise Rajyas), they constantly fought each other and hence were weak. If PN Shah, had not reunified Nepal and just ruled his home state of Gorkha, then the British (East India Company) could have easily conquered Nepal in 18th century, meaning 1760s to 80s AD. Remember, PN Shah defeated the EIC led army of Captain Kinlock, and prevented Nepal’s capture by the British, he had unified many Nepali territories at that time and hence stopped that attack. So, if Nepal had been invaded and colonized by British like India (would most probably would have happened due to our division), we too might be divided into some princely states, and by 1947.. India could have easily annexed Nepal, as it was a princely state and not a fully independent Country.
