Relations of British India with Neighbouring Countries
The Gorkhas seized control of Nepal from the successors of Ranjit Malla of Bhatgaon in 1760.
They expanded their dominion southward, as the north was defended by the Chinese.
In 1801, the annexation of Gorakhpur by the English brought the Gorkhas’ and the Company’s boundaries together.
Conflict arose due to Gorkhas’ capture of Butwal and Sheoraj during Lord Hastings' tenure (1813-23).
The war ended with the Treaty of Sagauli in 1816, favoring the British.
The treaty terms included:
Nepal accepted a British resident.
Nepal ceded Garhwal and Kumaon districts and abandoned claims to Terai.
Nepal withdrew from Sikkim.
Advantages for the British:
The British empire now reached the Himalayas.
Improved facilities for trade with Central Asia.
Acquisition of sites for hill stations, such as Shimla, Mussoorie, and Nainital.
Increased recruitment of Gorkhas into the British Indian Army.
