HISTORY:

Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah, King of Nepal (June 11, 1920January 31, 1972) was King of Nepal from 1955 to 1972. He was also made a British Field Marshal in 1960. He succeeded his father, Tribhuvan, who had, after years as a puppet of the Rana family, finally managed to break their more than 100-year hegemony over the country.

A younger son, Gyanendra, was king as a small child from 1950 to 1951 when Tribhuvan, Mahendra and Birendra had fled the country to escape from the Rana family. After 50 years, Gyanendra reassumed the throne when his brother King Birendra was killed in 2001.

After his sudden death, he was succeeded by his son Birendra. He was well respected by Chinese leader such as Mao Tse Tung.
