Five leading Gurkha families contend for power …
Years: 1684 - 1827
Five leading Gurkha families contend for power in Nepal during this period—the Shahs, Choutariyas, Thapas, Basnyats, and Pandes.
Working for these families and their factions are hill Brahmans, who act as religious preceptors or astrologers, and Newars, who occupy secondary administrative positions.
No one else in the country has any influence on the central government.
When a family or faction achieves power, it kills, exiles, or demotes members of opposing alliances.
Under these circumstances, there is little opportunity for either public political life or coordinated economic development.
