Preamble of Padma Shamsher's Government of Nepal Act, 1948

The Government of Nepal Act 1948 is one of the few constitutional legal instruments before the 1950-51 revolution that contained a preamble. It is meant to be an introductory and expressionary statement explaining the document's object, purpose, underlying philosophy and the reasons for its enactment.

British Constitution During The Rule Of Padma Shamsher

The British constitution has been the source of inspiration for many countries in the world. It had a long and arduous history. The Ranas of Nepal knew about the British constitution and its parliamentary system. At times, the Ranas connived that they too had the desire to introduce a similar system in Nepal. Padma Shamsher, for example, talked about the parliamentary system in 1947 very clearly. The issue here is to what extent his Government of Nepal Act 1948, which he so passionately introduced, as the first Constitution of Nepal, was influenced by British traditions.

Padma Shamsher And Constitutional Development In British India

The Ranas of Nepal, including Prime Minister Padma Shamsher, had a decent official and personal relationship with the rulers of British India. The Ranas were more exposed to British India than to any other government or people, including historical Tibet, China and the United Kingdom. As such, the Ranas had the opportunity to learn from the British due to historical military ties as well as trade and wartime collaborations. Disregarding the quality of democracy and the status of human rights in Britain, the British in India had created their own (usually inferior) constitutional legal subsystems befitting their colonial ambitions. Therefore, the quality of their laws, institutions and administration were compromised in the colonial territories.

Padma Shamsher And Tibet's Constitutional System In 1948

Nepal and historical Tibet have shared a longstanding relationship. Tibet remained a country without a written constitution, until its status changed to an autonomous province of China. The Tibetan system did not contain elements that could have contributed to the development of a constitutional framework as derived by Padma Shamsher.
