Résumé

Résumé : "An Account of The Kingdom of Nepal" by Francis Hamilton offers an in-depth exploration of the diverse ethnic and cultural composition of Nepal, particularly focusing on the period before the British-Nepalese War of 1814. The text delves into the historical migration and settlement patterns of various tribes and ethnic groups within the region, highlighting the influence of Hindu colonists from Chitaur and their interactions with indigenous tribes. Hamilton discusses the arrival of Hindu Brahmans and Rajputs, who introduced new religious and social structures, significantly impacting the local customs and traditions. The text also examines the original inhabitants, such as the Magars, Gurungs, and Newars, who have distinct languages and cultural practices. These groups, often characterized by Tartar or Chinese features, have historically practiced Buddhism or indigenous religions, with some adopting Hindu customs over time. The narrative provides a detailed account of the socio-political dynamics, including the integration and adaptation of these tribes into the broader Hindu framework, while also preserving distinct cultural identities. Hamilton's work is a valuable resource for understanding the complex tapestry of Nepal's ethnic diversity and the historical processes that have shaped its current cultural landscape.
