It was a totally awesome read. I am glad you took time to invest energy by considering feedback from readers. Kudos to you.

But in terms of accuracy, I don't think I would agree. Why? Most of us are brainwashed since childhood into thinking about so called "glorious history of shah kings." Even if you don't like those kings, you tend to develop a soft corner for them for no apparent reason. But even those history books often refer the dysfunctional nature of some of our kings. For e.g. Prithvi narayan shah, a short-tempered dynamite gave order of execution of soldiers that didn't salute him -- do we take that as a disciplinarian or an authoritarian. It is also well known that during the reign of rajendra, Surendra and so on...the madness that engulfed their royal auras. Their gathering seemed a misfit in your writing ;).

Strictly my opinion of course.
