Raju161,
Without any sentimentality, Tell me what did I get from the unification that I'd not have got without Prithvi Narayan Shah? They united the country and looted the whole people, same thing the Brits would have done any way.
I don't respect someone I don't feel like to. My respect should and will come from my heart where necessary. You can cry like hell but it won't happen until I see a good reason for it. The country was thrown into darkness for 250 years. Then came their relatives, the Ranas, and f8888ked the country for another 105 years. The end result is, 100 % of people were illiterate and poor and nothing to eat.
What your f*8*king king gave the people? Just a citizenship card? That citizenship can be gotten in any land in this world. If not for Prithvi Narayan, Nepal would have been India by now. You could get a citizenship there too, if you wanted. Now you are saying Indians are worse off than Nepalese when it comes to economy, education, culture etc??
Today, we are just slaves in Saudi Arabia, Katar , India etc. This is, alas, the reality!
If you look back, Prithvi Narayan's offsprings have just looted the country beyond belief. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand it.
You know, you are talking about union? Alexander reunited the whole world 2 thousand years ago, so should I be obliged to him, too (or Him, too)? "Thank you Alexander, you poked my ancesters" etc.etc Today F***king Prithvi is nobody when you compare him to Alexander.
Both Prithvi and Alexander were barbaric, did nothing to improve the life of their subjects.
