Surapratap Shah (Nepali: सुरप्रताप शाह) or Surya Pratap Shah (Nepali: सूर्यप्रताप शाह) was a prince of the Gorkha Kingdom. He was active during the battles referred to as the Unification of Nepal led by his brother, King Prithvi Narayan Shah.[1]
He participated in the Battle of Kirtipur and the Battle of Makwanpur.[2] [3] He commanded the Battle of Kirtipur, where he lost his left eye, which led people to call him "a blind man".[4] [5]
Shah also held the title of Kaji. In the early 1970s, Shah went into exile in the Tanahun Kingdom, after Prithvi Narayan Shah and Surpratap had quarreled.[6] This led to Prithvi Narayan Shah invading Tanahun.
Kirtipur War Memorial Park, an under-construction park, is set to depict the Battle of Kirtipur, and it is planned to show Surpratap Shah being struck by an arrow.[7]
