Leo_r, Timro prithvi narayan shah kathmandu ma pasnu bhanda pahila Kathmandu (which used to be ruled by newars, if you didnt know) used to be one of the developed cities in asia (if such classification existed). If Prithvi fu(king narayan was that smart who couldn't be keep up the development that newars had managed to establish in terms of trade, culture, education, living standards? You can judge who is smart and whos not. Winning a war doesnt always mean that the victor is smart. Its what he/she does after the reigns of war that signifies the actually intelligence. Say what?
