In this episode of Sushant Pradhan Podcast, renowned author and historian Ramhari Acharya shares the fascinating and often untold history of Nuwakot, one of Nepal's most historically significant regions. From the origin of the name "Nuwakot" and the real history behind its establishment to the importance of the famous 7 Tale Durbar, this conversation uncovers stories rarely discussed in mainstream history. The discussion explores Prithvi Narayan Shah's conquest of Nuwakot, how the people of Nuwakot view Nepal's unification, and the administrative system that followed the capture of the region.
