🔽🔽 読書記録 🔽🔽
自主出版だと思うけれど、大英帝国とインドの側で歴史を紡いてきたネパールに関する独自の見解で興味深い。

いままでの大英帝国とグルカ、ネパールの関係や歴史を語る本は間違えている、というところから出発しているので、この本のミッションとしてはそれを正すことのよう。
なので大英帝国とグルカの関係自体について学ぶ本ではないのが私の希望から外れていた。
ただ、英国とインドという巨大な渦のせいでネパールの存在が軽視されてきたという点には納得。
なので、私はまずはオーソドックスにネパールの歴史を学ぶべきです。

🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

Probably a self published book, but has an interesting and original view on the matter of Nepal, its position between Britain and India.
The author seems to feel it a mission to correct previous historians' fake stories, or misunderstandings, so I should have known the general or previous understanding of Anglo-Gurkha relations to appreciate this book.

This doesn't really teach you the general history Anglo-Gurkha Relations, but it does make you realise how important Nepal has been in our history and how it's been neglected.
It claims that the world has been misled because of the strong Indian and British influences.
I must find a regular history book on Nepal first.
