1814 in India

The year 1814 in India was marked by significant political and social developments amid the backdrop of British colonial expansion. The ongoing Anglo-Nepalese War (1814–1816) saw the British East India Company engage in military confrontations with the Kingdom of Gorkha, aiming to consolidate their control over the region. The conflict led to the eventual Treaty of Sugauli, reshaping territorial boundaries in the Himalayan region. Meanwhile, the socio-economic landscape was influenced by the introduction of new administrative practices and legal reforms. Additionally, the cultural milieu experienced transitions, as the amalgamation of indigenous traditions and British influences began to take shape, laying the groundwork for future societal changes in the subcontinent.
