check out this bull shit posted in wikipedia!

"In 1788 the Gurkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah, in the process of carving out the modern boundaries of Nepal, invaded Tibet. Unable to defeat the Gurkhas alone the Tibetans called upon Qing reinforcements. The Qing-Tibetan army defeated the Gurkhas and invaded Nepal. Thereafter Nepal was officially a tributary state to the Qing Empire.

This brought the attention of the British, which regarded Nepal as being within its sphere of influence. The Tibetans withdrew from Nepal, but they closed the Tibetan border and refused to allow any foreigners to enter the country. Tibet's reputation as "the hermit kingdom" dates from this time. During the whole of the 19th century few foreigners saw Lhasa."

i don't believe in wiki no more!

Ifc123..you can edit it...you can see edit it in the top most portion of the page...

i am not informed enough about tibetan history to provide accurate information k. tara i know for damn sure ghurkas did not get defeated by tibetans.

LFC calm down...change gardeu na ta! say, british were fools to try to invade nepal, because they never succeded. Prithvi narayan shah cut their penises off and sent them back to england!


lol
yes!!!

i dont' know what to sayyy ni ta....i dont' want to provide inaccurate information like the dumbass who wrote that...jaha samma england ko kura cha, we did have a deal with england ..that is why we had to give up darjeling. it used to be ours. ....

okay, here's what i know

England was operating east india comapny in India, and they wanted to expand more, they were already covering most part of the Europe and Asia, so they wanted to get all the asia, with china and india. So they tried to invade nepal, but couldn't succeed, to take the capital of .....gorkha i think was the capital back then before it was KTM. and they retreated. Tibet was part of China, but it separated somehow i dont know how, then now its back to china again i beleive.

I think! :P

first thing, tibet was never never never a part of china. china asserted its control jabarjasttii throughout history and then claimed it was theirs.
jaha samma england ko kura, what explains why we had to give up darjeling?

khoi, im not history guy! i hated history since i was a litttttttle kid having to remember all them dates! nasodha malai, mero man dukhcha!

actually i just found that gurkhas were defeated in one battle in 1780. they initally invaded Tibet and won. and later the chinese imperial army came and defeated them in a rather humiliating way. and the gurkhas actually had to pay a tribute to the dynasty until 1908. oops, my bad...i grew up studying books published in nepal...tehi influence ho.

That shit on Wikipedia is definitely not true. We will need a good source to convince Wikipedia to change that. Anyone's got a book or something where we can quote from?

lol, i reaad books but just to memorize for exams, not to learn the dates.
i know some history of Nepal, lichhavi kirati k k, tara it was when i was in 5th grade!

aba barsau biti sakyo! im amazed to see you actually remember all that!

are u serios lfc123?? everything we read, were they for real or what?? i find lots of things we read about our country contradicting with stuffs i hear over here!!

An indian girl was saying that Nepal was a part of India at first. She was saying India defeated Nepal in battle. I ended up fighting with her. I was about to start the India-Nepal war right there man. LOL

i have a book right in front of me saying that teh chinese imperial army defeated ghurkas and ghurkas paid tirubte until the fall of that then-dynasty, Ch'ing dynasty.

then i guess our history books need to be corrected.

could it be that we've been taught the wrong history?

or could it be that the whole world thinks nepal was either part of china or india at some point!

im confused. im gonna make a time machine now!

slash, don't start the war yet! :P :P

as they say, history is always written by winners (its HIS story). hamro case ma, our government wrote its version of the story and the chinese wrote thiers......damn, if its one thing all governments understand, it is the power of information.

redstone,
i didnt have the khukuri at that time man. Other wise i would have shown what gurkhalis are re kya. hehehe..

one thing on my mind.
We are told that our Mahendra was a great king that he left his throne and went to India for the sake of people. But here i heard contradicting facts that he was actually scared to be killed by Ranas, so he ran away to India.
