"Sujit tells the story of Nepal’s birth, challenges it faced during its growth, and the actors who worked to preserve sovereignty and independence of Nepal. In the process, he tells us how some of the claims made about Prithvi Narayan Shah in recent years (that he was ruthless conqueror, had no regard for the people of the states he conquered, was driven by the hunger to expand and rule and so on) were pure fabrication or utter exaggeration. He shows with evidence that these claims are misleading. Mainali gives credit to Prithvi Narayan for the birth of modern Nepal and proves with evidence that he was not as cruel and without regard for Nepal and Nepalis as has been projected by the ‘progressive’ lobby." - Mahabir Paudyal, My Republica, 12 May 2019
