[NesocaNepal] Gorkha Sarkar Nepal Sarkar I just thought that fellow members may want to see some pictures of postage stamps showing the history of the names Gorkha Sarkar and Nepal Sarkar. This has become a topic after the change in the name of our government, and its history is something to know. PIC-1...The name of the Nepal government based in Kathmandu was changed to Gorkha Sarkar after the Shah conquest in 1769. The name Gorkha Sarkar appears at the bottom of this stamp issued in 1907. PIC-2...The name Gorkha Sarkar was retained until 1930, when it became Nepal Sarkar (as shown on this stamp of that year).
