i never said he was wrong. i just want to know the source. if it happened then it is mentioned somewhere. it has always been the case. the reason i am doubting that is because of "BHIM SEN THAPA"'s mukhtiyari. he was overthrown because he did not want to do the same thing mentioned above making somebody else king in place of SURENDRA. [ who was a rightful heir, first son] btw, rana bahadur died of plague was not murdered. [ i believe that is what is mentioned by historians! no!!!] ========================================== anyway what do i know?
