This is an interesting history read set upon the time when Prithvi Narayan the great conquered Kathmandu valley based on the account by one of the prominent missionaries of the time. I never believed someone can be so cruel and inhumane to cut body parts of the whole population including children, like that Prithvi the great was said to have done to the residents of Kirtipur. This sounded more like an urban legend. The graphic details on the reading however paints a pretty guresome picture. After reading this, Prithvi Narayan the great seems more like a cruel lowlife killer than unifier of the nation. He is a freaking shame on the humanity.

No kidding, the details are gruesome...
Wow, what a horrific history. There must be a lot more such cruel atrocities of Gorkhali Kings when they expanded East and West. These horrific stories are untold to general public of this century. Discussing on these issues is good for knowing the fact but we should not think of revenge or similar atrocities against Gorkhali descendants.
And they took the necklace from the poor woman. This is just awful.
