Most of the countries of the world, including South Asia, were trampled under the yoke of British slavery at a time when the sun never set on the world, but Nepal, India's neighbor, breathed a sigh of relief. Not only that, the Gurkhas gave such a scathing reply to the British gravel that the British had forgotten. It is said that in 18 AD, the Gorkha king Prithvi Narayan Singh fought a bloody battle for three years and expanded the borders of Nepal and established a kingdom called Gorkha which was renamed Nepal.

However, the Nepali Gurkhas also had to fight with the British. In the struggle for control of the Tibetan Himalayan route, Nepalese troops reached near Man Sarovar, but with the help of Tibet, Nepal withdrew. However, after the death of the stubborn Prithvi Narayan Singh, the British started raising their heads in Nepal. Rajendra Vikram Shah secretly sought help from the British by sending ambassadors to anti-Sikh, Maratha, Mughal, Burma, China and Afghanistan.

In 1918 a fierce battle broke out between Nepal and the British in what became known as the Anglo-Nepalese War. In which the British were suffocated by the Nepalese troops near the fort of Nalapani and Almora.

Before the war, Nepal stretched as far as the Sutlej in the west and the Tista river in the east. Thus, Nepal is the only country in the world which has not experienced the enslavement of socialist foreign powers. The treaty called Sugoli included Nepal, which included Uttaranchal, Himachal Pradesh, the hills of the Punjab, and parts of Darjeeling which fell to the British.
