At present, violent demonstrations are going on in Nepal, due to which the whole country is burning. The youth are leading the ongoing protests in Nepal, who have made a ruckus against the corruption being done by the government. Talking about the history of Nepal, it is also related to the Mughals, where he could never rule. There are many reasons behind this. Nepal’s geographical location used to act like a natural fort. The high-up Himalayan mountains, deep valleys and narrow pass were the biggest challenge for external invaders. The Mughal army depended on huge mounted troops and heavy articles. Because of this she was not suitable for mountain war. In the plains, they easily win, while the hard geographical structure of Nepal became impossible for them.
The Mughal Empire expanded primarily on the rich areas of fertile and commercially rich areas. The Doab, Bengal, Gujarat and Deccan of Ganga-Yamuna were economically attractive. In contrast, Nepal’s agricultural capacity was limited and from there the empire could not get enough tax or resources. This is the reason that Nepal was not involved in his primary goals.
Mughals in the pages of history
Nepal’s mention in Abul Fazal’s book Ein-e-Akbari is limited to business and cultural relations. JN According to the government’s history of aurangzeb, Nepal never came under the direct rule of the Mughals. Nepali historian Baburam Acharya says that Nepal always maintained its sovereignty and worked to maintain a relationship through business agreements.
Strategic understanding of Nepali states
At that time, Nepal was divided into many small states Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Lalitpur. They used to struggle among themselves, but faced unitedly at the time of external attacks. His control over local forts and mountainous paths was strong. This was the reason that Nepal maintained business relations, but never accepted political subjugation.
Importance of Tibet and Himalayan trade routes
Nepal was the bridge of trade between India and Tibet. Salt, wool, spices and metals were exchanged from here. This trade route was important for the Mughals, but they could not make a direct access to Tibet, so it was a better policy to maintain business relations with them instead of confrontation with Nepal.
Defense of cultural and religious identity
The society of Nepal was deeply associated with Hindu and Buddhist traditions. The subjugation of external Muslim power was considered a cultural threat to the people there. This was the reason that the Nepali rulers always preferred freedom and resistance. The strength of the Mughals was in the cavalry army and artillery, but Nepal’s geography was unsuitable for this military system. At the same time, Gorkha warrior guerrillas were proficient in war. This warfare was beyond the experience of the Mughals. Even if they had launched the campaign in Nepal, they would have suffered heavy losses.
Other strategic priorities
The Mughal Empire was constantly challenged on many fronts like Afghan, Irani, Maratha and Assam, so the attempt to win a difficult terrain like Nepal was not strategically appropriate for them.
