PAGES FROM HISTORY: AMSHUVARMA Amshuvarma was not only a man of valour but also a shrewd politician, a diplomat and a statesman. With a view not to burden the people with taxation he did away wih all sorts of taxes. NOW KHAS BAHUN RULERS HAVE BURDENED THE PEOPLE OF NEPAL BEYOND THE PEOPLES CAPACITY. IN RETURN OF TAX THE PEOPLE PAID, PEOPLE ESPECIALLY INDIGENOUS (MULBASI) PEOPLE OF NEPAL ARE BEING EVICTED FROM THEIR HOMELANDS. THE EVICTION STARTED SOON AFTER PRITHVI NARAYAN SHAHS INVASION OVER THE STATES OF MULBASI PEOPLE. Amshuvarma was also a man of letters. Under his patronage Nepalese art and architecture and literature developed. He was tolerant to other religions, though himself a Shaivite. He had equal regard for Shaivism, Vaishnavism and Buddhism. NOW IN NEPAL, THE KHAS BAHUN RULERS HAVE EXERCISED DISCRIMINATION RELIGION. THEY HAVE NOT TOLERATED OTHER RELIGIONS THAN THEIR SO-CALLED HINDUISM. His foreign policy: Harsha Vardhan in India and Tsrong Tsong Gyampo in Tibet were the contemporaries of Amshuva rma. Both Harsha and Gyampo were engaged in expanding their territories. The independence of Nepal was in danger, but Amshuvarma by his clever stroke of diplomacy maintained the balance of power and kept his suzerainty intact. NOW THE KHAS BAHUN RULERS HAVE SURRENDER THE SOVEREIGNTY OF NEPAL TO FOREIGN FORCES IN ORDER TO HAVE HAVE LITTLE MORE BUTTER IN THEIR BREADS. Amshuvarma contracted matrimonial alliance with Tibet by giving his daughter Bhrikuti in marriage to Tsrong Tsong Gyampo. Bhrikuti exercised her good offices in spreading Buddhism in Tibet. Because of her efforts, Buddhism took its root in Tibet. This matrimonial alliance besides strengthening the position of Nepal enhanced her prestige as well. Tsrong Tsong Gyampo also married the Chinese princess Wenchang. The Tibetans adored the Nepalese princess as Harita Tara and the Chinese princess as Shweta Tara. The marriage of Tsrong Tsong Gyampo with the Nepalese and Chinese princesses resulted in the opening of the routes from China to India via Nepal. It became the main thoroughfare of the Chinese travellers Fahien and Huien Tsang and the opening of the route must have resulted in the growth of trade and commerce and cultural intercourse between these countries. Amshuvarma died in 616 A.D. BHRIKUTI IS ADORED AS HARIT TARA BY THE TIBETAN BUDDHIST AND BROUGHT A GREAT HONOR TO NEPAL AND PEOPLE OF NEPAL. NOW THE DAUGHTERS OF KHAS BAHUNS RULERS SQUEEZED THE RESOURCES AND PROPERTIES OF NEPAL TO PLEASE THEIR FOREIGN HUSBANDS AND THEIR CHILDREN. The reign of Amshuvarma sees the progress and triumph of Christianity in England since St. Augustine, the missionary sent by Pope in Rome, landed in Kent in 597 A.D. It was also the time when the Franks (from whom France got its name) settled in France and western Europe and the Lombards ruled over Southern Europe and Eastern Europe Was under Byzantine Empire. It was the time when the Mohammedans were carrying fire and swords in almost all parts of Asia. 25O YEARS OF OF THESE APRABASI KHAS BAUHN HAVE RUINED PRESTIGE, PROPERTIES AND PROSPERITY OF NEPAL.
