„He did not succeed in 1814-16 war with the British, but the Thapas love him nonetheless“
— Manjushree Thapa
Context: He did not succeed in 1814-16 war with the British, but the Thapas love him nonetheless because he tried so hard to control those pesky imperialists, overseeing military battles and negotiating treaties himself while trying to beat down Hodgson.
