 Timeline Soldiers of Empire 1806 Bhimsen Thapa, Prime Minister
|
 Illustration of Bhimsen Thapa Bhimsen Thapa served as Nepal's first Prime Minister for 31 years, under 6 different Nepali kings. Having befriended Crown Prince Rana Bahadur Shah at an early age, Thapa served as his personal secretary in India when he became king, before then being appointed Prime Minister. Bhimsen Thapa campaigned for South Asian countries to unite in opposition to the increasingly powerful and aggressive British East India Company, but he was unable to garner much support from other countries. This lack of unity directly affected the outcome of the Anglo-Gorkha war of 1814-16 which can be regarded as the starting point of the history of the British Gurkhas. Thapa is regarded as a national hero in Nepal: as a wise and fair leader who introduced a number of impoprtant social and military reforms.

2010-11-08 10:19:30 admin | 'Bhimsen Thapa - Chhetri or Magar?'Depace Ji, there is disagreement among historians about whether Bhimsen Thapa was a Magar or Chhetri Thapa - with credible arguments on both sides. I believe (although I am happy to be corrected) he was a Chhetri Magar as it is well-known that "his bratabandha ceremony was held together with the then Crown Prince Rana Bahadur Shah with whom he developed a friendship" (see this site http://bit.ly/bhimsen). My understanding is that the bratabandha is practiced by Chhetris and not Magars, hence the conclusion that he was a Chhetri. Incidentally, if you look at any of his portraits (just Google his name), he certainly *looks* more Chhetri than Magar - but, of course, this proves nothing. I hope this helps you decide for yourself. Dhanyabad.

2011-07-19 18:57:16 Bikram Thapa | 'Bhimsen Thapa was Magar'Hi, Bhimsen Thapa was uncle of Kaji Amar Singh Thapa, both Magars. You simply ignore the simple fact that even shah kings claimed themselves to be Magars. So just having bratabandha ceremony is no strong logic. If u have enough money to pay for the ceremony you can have it. Simple logic. The very concept of being chhetri is a recent phenomena.Only after 1845 did this practice of using thapa chettri and thapa magar started, when the rana rulers made large scale changes in the caste system of nepal.
