(Show)
The article deals with the one mission to Gorkha led by an East India Company official by the name of George Foxcroft in 1783. Very little was known about the fate of this mission. The article is based on the research conducted at a number of archival holdings at Delhi, Patna, Calcutta, and Kathmandu which enabled the author to piece together the narrative of Faskirap Saheb's mission to Gorkha. It describes the Gorkha at the period of Prithvinarayan Shah and Bahadur Shah in relation to this incident. (Rajeev Ranjan Singh 2007-03-07)
