                        By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Research Student)

              Dr Dabral states that till date, there had been no serious study about Gorkha Rule in Kumaon. This author also vouch Dr Dabral as there is less knowledge available on Internet about Gorkha Rule and its Characteristics in Kumaon.  If at all it is available the most of historians offer writings of Dr Dabral. Vasudha Pande offers appreciable account about Doti and Gorkha in different perspectives.
In Kumaon too, as per rule the Gorkha soldiers (Jagriya) used to return after completing one year. Same way, army officers were also called back after a year.

  Gorkha administrators established Chauki in different places (as today patti Ka Patwari) and there used to be soldiers. The soldiers used to get salaries from the Kumaon people under the Chauki. Therefore, soldiers used to apply oppressive methods for getting ‘Bali’ (Salary).
      Since, soldiers had to return Nepal after completion of a year; they used to loot the people when they were there and while returning to Nepal too.
Many cruel soldiers and officers had a notion that people become disciplined only by fear of oppressions.
Nepali Historians disagreed about the oppressive methods of Gorkha soldiers and officers.
