we were never captured because first of all no big nation was really interested to take us over , no? when china was interested, we gave our daughter Bhrikuti. When British were interested, we gave our men to fight for them. Even Prithivi Narayan shah got arms and ammunition and consultation. and Muslims did come to Nepal at one point and they broke lots of temples and statues and robbed temples. this is all what i have heard, please correct me if i am wrong. so why do we always claim ourselves brave brave brave, it's like a gold fish in a small fish tank claiming its the biggest and baddest fish out there and no body has captured or won him. If we were really brave then why do we have to go to India for every little decision in our country. I heard Gyanandra ji just went there with his grand son , probably to beg for some kinda power status.
