Rana regime
Rana regime was a state in Gangetic plain and Nepal (South Asia) that lasted from 1846 to 1951 CE, about 105 years. Its people spoke Indo-Aryan languages (Vedic, Sanskrit, Prakrit, Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Sinhala).
Jung Bahadur Rana seized power in the Kot massacre of 1846, and his family held the office of prime minister by inheritance while the Shah kings were figureheads. A revolution backed by India restored royal power in 1951.
