ReplyDeleteMy name is Aayush bhatta kaji and i am from Dadeldhura ,Nepal . Doti kingdom was rich in its natural resources but its relations with kumauon ,garwal was not good .because they were under doti kingdom and have to pay huge tax to doti . While the war of doti and gorkha was about to start the king of doti sent message to kumauon king for additional army but they didn't respond and the king was so feared with ruthless gorkhali army and again sent his state head Bhatta kaji to kumauon and this time the bhatta kaji talked about the taxation and treaty and unwillingly they had to sent a troop of army for support and when the kumauon army arrived doti they heard the king was so feared with gorkha and he fled to singhai india at night taking all the defence money not even telling the Bhatta kaji at that time .the people were on the side of kaji but there was no king the bhatta kaji were Bhramins so they couldn't be king but they were King's advisor and kaji so they made the decision for war to save their motherland and war started but due to lack of equipment and money they were defeated and had to sign treaty with gorkha commander amar singh thapa .the treaty was about the doti from that date will be under gorkha kingdm and follow the rules of gorkha king .
ReplyDeleteSorry for my poor english . :)
hey ayush , do you have more information about the people who used to work in the court of the king who fled
DeleteDo you mean Court or Kot? they both are different/ talking about court there were many in various region of kingdom and once in while king used to go for decision making on various crimes or conflicts. Kot/Durbar/palace used to have various peoples form defense staffs to care taker of hourses. Work was based on caste basis. Each caste people used to have different unique work form making weapons to doing rituals in temples to collecting taxes etc.
