Kingdom Lost

Más información sobre el libro

Kingdom Lost is a sequel to Singha Durbar released in 2017. The urge and rationale for a book on the Rana regime arose on the belief that such a work, coming from one with ancestral links with the Rana family and political links with the democratic forces and Nepali Congress, will reflect an objective and balanced view of those times. As the work, starting sometime in 2006, progressed, the author was drawn into exploring the entire range of Nepali history, with a stress on the modern era.Singha Durbar covers the period till the fall of the Rana regime in 1951, and this sequel starts off then and ends in 2008. Kingdom Lost in particular relies heavily on one-on-one interviews with key political and military leaders of the country. The author’s uninterrupted involvement in the churning of political activities and extensive travels allows graphic depiction of the tumultuous sequence of history.
