  • Mobile Subjects, Markets, and Sovereignty in the India-Nepal Borderland, 1780-1930
    Shifting States: Mobile Subjects, Markets, and Sovereignty in the India-Nepal Borderland, 1780-1930 Catherine Warner A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Committee: Anand Yang, Chair Purnima Dhavan Priti Ramamurthy Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History © Copyright 2014 Catherine Warner University of Washington Abstract Shifting States: Mobile Subjects, Markets, and Sovereignty in the India-Nepal Borderland, 1780-1930 Catherine Warner Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Anand Yang International Studies and History This dissertation analyzes the creation of the India-Nepal borderland and changing terms of sovereignty, subjectivity and political belonging from the margins of empire in South Asia from 1780 to 1930. I focus on particular instances of border crossing in each chapter, beginning with the exile of deposed sovereigns of small states that spanned the interface of the lower Himalayan foothills and Gangetic plains in the late eighteenth century. The flight of exiled sovereigns and the varied terms of their resettlement around the border region—a process spread over several decades—proved as significant in defining the new borderland between the East India Company and Nepal as the treaty penned after the Anglo-Nepal War of 1814 to 1816. Subsequent chapters consider cross-border movements of bandits, shifting cultivators, soldiers, gendered subjects, laborers, and, later, a developing professional class who became early Nepali nationalist spokesmen. Given that the India-Nepal border remained open without a significant military presence throughout the colonial and even into the contemporary period, I argue that ordinary people engaged with and shaped forms of political belonging and subject status through the always present option of mobility.

  • Historical Entity of Vijayapur State
    Historical Entity of Vijayapur State Dr. Raja Ram Subedi* Introduction: At present Vijayapur lies in eastern part of Nepal. There is a dilapidated fort representing the entity of an independent status during the late medieval period of Nepalese history. A Kotche king Sangla Ing, who was the first ruler of Vijayapur state, founded the fort. Pungla Ing succeeded Sangla Ing who was also known by the name of Amara Roy. Kirti Narayan Roy Appa Narayan Roy, Jora Narayan Roy, Ingdi Narayan Roy and Vijaya Narayan Roy succeeded Amara Roy respectively. The seven Kotche kings ruled Vijayapur down to the period of Vijaya Narayan Roy who was the last ruler of that dynasty.1 They are said to have been migrated from Kooch Bihar, thus called the Koche kings. The administrative centre of the Kotche dynasty was at Baratappa and later transferred to Vijayapur. Raja Vijaya Narayan Roy was an amicable as well as diplomatic ruler. He established cordial relations with the Kirata subjects of Pheddap region. He made an alliance with Morey Hang, a chieftain of the Kirata, and appointed him as the minister (Dewan). With the help of the Kiratas, Vijaya Narayan Roy was able to repair the old fort of Bhatabhunge Gadhi and shifted his capital from Baratappa to that fort. Then the fort was called Vijayapur Gadhi. Moreover, Hang Khewang was given the rank of minister permanently by the king.2 The territory of Vijayapur was expanded up to the Himalayas in the north, river Ganga in the south, Sapta Koshi, Barahakshetra in the west and Jalapaigudi and river Tista in the east.3 The eastern border of Vijayapur was not regulated due to the clashes occurred with Sikkim and Bhutan (Bhootang) because those principalities were front door neighbours of Vijayapur.
