thapap, Anti is probably right, I heard this from my mother when I went to Nepal. Why do you think Rane was murdered by his own Mama(uncle)? Also, there was a power struggle all the time. When Singa Pratap Shah died, his brother Bahadur Shah took over in the name of Rane(Rane was a minor). Later Rane put Bahadur in jail for one reason or other. Rane also fell in love with an Indian woman from Banaras while she was a Bhikchhu in PasupatiNath. Hence came a new thread in the Shah dynasty.
