              History: First Attack by Gorkha Army on Kangra Fort

History of Gorkha /Nepal Rule over Kumaun, Garhwal and Himachal (1790-1815) -54
   
   History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon and Haridwar) -573
 
                        By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Research Student)

 Grokha Army conquered Kangra valley by 1805 -06. According to Maularam, when Gorkha Chief Amar Singh Thapa freed Kutlaid, Suket, Mandi and other hill states from rule of Kangra Kingdom and defeated  Bushahr Kingdom army; the Kings of Guler and Chamba came to meet Amar Singh Thapa. Amar Singh reached to Jwalamukhi and offered tribute to Devi goddess there. All the kings with army and Gorkha army led by Amar Singh Thapa forwarded and surrounded Kangra Fort. The foreign armed forces as rohilas, Maratha etc in Kangra Army fled due to fear of Amar Singh Thapa.
 Amar Singh Thapa surrounded Kangra Fort for three years. There was ample of food and other necessary materials in Kangra Fort that Sansar Chand did not need such items from outside of the Fort. When Amar Singh Thapa could not win kangra Fort the Gorkha army and other hill states army started looting nearby villages and oppressing them on daily basis. The families of kangra Kingdom started fleeing to other territories for saving them from oppression of Gorkha soldiers. Many families from villages fled to plains of Punjab and many to Chamba. There was nobody for farming and villages became barren land or waste land. The grass started growing in country yards of villages and wild animals started taking refuse in houses.
            Secret Treaty of Amar Singh Thapa with Sansarchand
  Maularam mentioned in Garhrajyvanshkavya that Sansarchand sent bribery money to Amar Singh that he should atc falsely the attack on kangra fort but should not use the real force. Amar Singh Thapa was pretending attack but was not real attack. Dr Dabral conclusively states that Amar Singh Thapa left many areas unprotected that Kangra King could get supply from outside of Kangra Fort and his family could have connections outside of Kangra Fort.

Though , it wass adi that Sansar Cahnd kept materials for twelve years inside the Fort.  Nain Singh Army were spread surrounding the Kangra Fort from all sides and kangra army could not dare to attack on Gurkha Army. Sanasar Cahhnd decided to leave the Fort in night.

                        By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Research Student)


 When Nain Singh Thapa died on second Gurkha/Gorkha attck on Kangra Fort, Amar Singh Thapa was afraid of his non winning tactics creating a bad name for him and a fear of being perceived as Gorkha/Gurkha Traitor.
 Mar Singh increased his army actions. However, Nepal Court was not having confidence and faith on a legendary Amar Singh Thapa. Nepal Court dispatched a new ary led by Rudravir Chautariya and Dalarbhajan Pande for attacking on Kangra Fort. Rudravir started campaign journey from Shrinagar towards Kangra in 1806. The new army started attacking with force on kangra Fort. Kangra King Sansar Chand requested Ran Jit Singh for helping him from Gurkha/Gorkha attack. In past Sansar Chand attacked on Sikh King Ran Singh territory twice. However, Sikh King Ran Jit Singh was also conscious of Gurkha/Gorkha expansion. Sansar Chand agreed to pay 5000 rupees as tribute to Ranjit Singh fr the help. The Sikh King Ranjit Singh started to reach Kangra twice but both the time returned back from the way to Kangra. Kangra gazetteer states that Gorkha /Gorkha commander Amar Singh paid rupees 5000 to Ranjit Singh and Ranjit Singh returned.

History: Another Treaty between Sansar Chand and Gurkha/Gorkha

History of Gorkha /Nepal Rule over Kumaun, Garhwal and Himachal (1790-1815) -57
   
   History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon and Haridwar) -576
 
                        By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Research Student)

          Kangra King Sansar Chand fully understood that he was weak before Armies of Gurkha/Gorkha Commanders Rudravir and Dalbhanjan Pande. Kangra King Sansar Chand agreed to free the Kangra Fort for Gurkha/Gorkha. It was decided that Kangra King Sansar Chand would pay rupees five lakhs to Gurkha/Gorkha and Gurkha /Gorkha would let Sansar Chand go safely from Kangra Fort. Reper mentioned the tribute for rupees three lakhs .Kangra King agreed for an annual Tribute for Nepal Court.
Dalbhrajan Pande and Rudravir did not consult Amar Singh Thapa for that treaty with Kangra King. Repar mentioned that Amar Singh Thapa was from lower caste Khas and it was below dignity of Sansar Chand to have treaty with Amar Singh Thapa.
       Sansar Chand had an understanding with Nepal court or with Rudravir Chautariya and Dalrbhajan  Pande that he would free the fort. Sansar Chand used to send unnecessary materials out of Fort and used to call necessary items into Fort and he was given chance to do so for before going out of the Fort. One day Sansar Chand fled with his family mebers as villagers from Kangra Fort to Teera Sujanpur. Sansar Chand handed over the Fort Protection to Commander Naurang.
  According to Repar and Maularam, Amar Singh took the opportunity for criticizing Rudravir Chautariya and Pande. Amar Singh Thapa informed Nepal court that Chautariya and Pande took bribe from Sansar Chand and they offered chance to Sansar Chand for fleeing. He suggested Nepal court to call back Chautariya and Pande. Nepal Court called back Chautariya and Pande.
  Nepal Court sent Parshuram in 1808, Bhairabbali in 1809 and Kunvar Veerbhadra in 1809 to Kangra.
              Kunwar Virbhadra reached Shrinagar from Nepal on the way for Kangra. He was having order for Maularam for retaining of his position and property. 
 Afer return of Rudravir and Pande, Amar Singh Thapa decied to attack again on Kangra Fort.  Sikh King Ranjit Singh was also anxious to get Kangra under his rule. He had treaty with East India Company (a809, Amritsar Treaty). Ranjit Singh asked Company to his dispatch of Army towards in East Sutlej. The Company Army regional Commander Akhatarloni did not allow Ranjit Singh to do so. However, Governor General accepted the request of  Ranjit Singh for dispatching his army to east of Sutlej.
 Now, Amar Singh was fearful from Ranjit Singh too. He postponed the attack on Kangra Fort. For many months, Gurkha/Gorkha had rule on  some of Kangra territories and Ranjit Singh had rule over some Kangra Territories.
 Sansar Chand requested help from East India Company. However, east India Company rfused to do so .

History: Gurkha/Gorkha Morni and Fourth Attack on Kangra Fort

History of Gorkha /Nepal Rule over Kumaun, Garhwal and Himachal (1790-1815) -58
   
   History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon and Haridwar) -577
 
                        By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Research Student)

               Gurkha/Gorkha Capturing Morni
        The Gurkha/Gorkha army led by Amar Singh and other commanders could not capture Kangra for three years. Now, Gurkha/Gorkha Army reputation was being challenged. The smaller Kings were not caring for Amar Singh.
 Sirmaur King started challenging Gurkha/Gorkha regime. Handur King used be ready for attacking Gurkha. The Kingdoms of twelve territory  started uniting to attack on Gurkha/Gorkha army.
 Kunwar Veerbhadra was son of Amar Singh daughter and was deputed by Nepal Court in Kangra. Amar Singh sent army led by Ranjor Thapa and Veerbhadra for capturing Morani Fort of Sirmaur Kingdom.
 The gurkha/Gorkha army leaders as Veerbhadra Thapa, Ramsundar Thapa, Ranjor Thapa, Balisingh Adhikari, Daljit, Ripudaman Thapa, Arimardan Thapa, Chandra Vir Thapa,Umrao , bhinraj Thapa were winners in Morni Battle between Gurkha/Gorkha army and Sirmaur Army. Ratnaprakash fled without his family members from Morni Fort and his wives had to follow him without any protection. Gurkha/Gorkha treated enemies with all the cruel methods. Gurkha/Gorkha cut noses, ears, hands etc to territories the subjects of Sirmaur.
  Ranjor Thapa took the administration of Sirmaur and started ruling Sirmaur as King. He used to offer donation and used award poets too. Maularam also reached to Sirmaur and told a poem in appreciation of Ranjor Thapa. Ranjor Thapa donated huge money to Maularam and Jagir of Panvata Gaon.

                    Gorkha /Gurkha Fourth Attack on Kangra Fort
       After capturing Morni Fort of Siramur Kingdom, Gurkha/Gorkha army got enthusiasm and new life too. Amar Singh Thapa called Veerbhadra from Sirmaur and attacked on Kangra Fort. Sansar Chand wrote letter to Sikh King Ranjit Singh for help. Sansar Chand cautioned Sikh King Ranjit Singh that after win over on Kangra Fort, Gurkha/Gorkha would win Kashmir, Punjab and Lahaur, Peshwar.
 Ranjit Singh with his army reached to Kangra in August 1809. Amar Singh offered money to Ranjit Singh. Ranjit Singh denied the offer and cancelled the conference between him and Gurkha/Gorkha. Sikh King Ranjit Singh wanted to dispatch Gurkha/Gorkha from Kangra.  Other Kings also welcomed Sikh King Ranjit Singh. There was a meeting between Sansarchand and Sikh King Ranjit Singh at Jwalamukhi temple in August 1809. Ranjit Singh took vow not to deceive Sansar Chand by the idol of Jwalamukhi Goddess.  Sansarchand handed over Fort to Sikh King Ranjit Singh.
       At that point Gurkha/Gorkha army was having scarcity of Guns and Gun powders.  Sikh Army came to near Kangra Fort and started gunning on Gurkha/Gorkha army. Initially Sikh army got setback but later on Sikh Army defeated Gurkha/Gorkha army Amar Singh put treaty proposal. Ranjit Singh asked him to take Gurkha/Gorkha army by crossing Sutlej and be in east of Sutlej. Gurkha/Gorkha army was forced to take army out of Kangra Fort region.
 Ranjit Singhand Sansarchand went to Fort door on the same elephant.   On 24th August 1809, Ranjit Singh took the right on Kangra Fort.
 Defeated Amar Singh Thapa surrounded Malakada Fort but Sikh Army followed and dispatched them east of Sutlej East.
 Amar Singh Thapa wrote letter to Nepal Court that Ranjit Singh had captured Kangra Fort and  Gurkha/Gorkha was in east of Sutlej River. Amar Singh asked further course of Action for Nepal Court.
  Nepal Prime Minister Bhim Sen Thapa and King Geevarnyudhvikram were furious and they dispatched Kaji Bakhtawar Basnyat to campaign for West of Sutlej River.
   Ranjit Singh took gifts from Sansar Chand and went to Lahaur. He deputed Sardar Fateh Singh to lead there and keeps eyes on Amar Singh Thapa activities. Ranjit Singh also kep one thousand soldiers in Kangra Fort.

   History: Wars of Gorkha Army with Bushahr Thakurais 

History of Gorkha /Nepal Rule over Kumaun, Garhwal and Himachal (1790-1815) -60
   
   History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon and Haridwar) -578
 
                        By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Research Student)
  Due to Ranjit Singh pushing Gurkha/Gorkha from west of Sutlej River region, the honor of Gurkha/Gorkha was in challenge. Amar Singh Thapa was eager to get back the honor. Amar Singh Thapa army was camping in Rampur City in Busahr Region. In August 1810, the Bushahr King and his three neighboring Kingdoms armies pushed Gurkha/Gorkha army from Rampur. Gurkha/Gorkha army had to camp in Jadapanth. The hill Kings collected twelve thousands soldiers with hard long Stick. The hill army surrounded Gurkha/Gorkha army comprising with one thousand soldiers. There was rainy season and rivers and rivulets were overflowing.The conditions for Gurkha/Gorkha was not suitable. The Gurkha/Gorkha commander Shamser Jung was in terror. The Army astrologer Harku Padhya enhance the self esteem of soldiers and five hundred Gurkha/Gorkha soldiers jumped into the fray and cut 500 soldiers by their Khukri (sword).  By killing Hill soldiers, Gorkha/Gurkha army reached at safe place.
 Amar Singh tried to capture Punjab regions – Pinjor, Narayangarh and Laharpur (those were initially under Sirmaur) but was unsuccessful due to British and Sikh Army. He also tried to capture Budhiya and Palasi but could not do anything.
  East India Company was in rage due to attack of Thapa on its territories.
          Amar Singh Thapa Meeting Colonel Ochterlony
Colonel David Ochterlony was regional commander of East India Company of Punjab region. He wanted to punish Amar Singh Thapa for his attack on Butauli etc. However, Govenr Genral did not allow Ochterlony to fight with Gurkha/Gorkha.
 Gurkha /Gorkha commander had to meet East India Colonel David Ochterlony and they met on 10th November 1813 near Pinjor.
By that time, Amar Singh Thapa lost the honor and people were already against Gorkha/Gurkha ‘s cruel torturing deeds.

History Analysis for Gurkha/Gorkha Sayings Tales about Gurkha/Gorkha Rule in Garhwal

History: Gorkha Folk Tales and Sayings, Reports about Gurkha/Gorkha Rule in Kumaon, Garhwal, Himachal -2

History of Gorkha /Nepal Rule over Kumaun, Garhwal and Himachal (1790-1815) -62
   
   History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon and Haridwar) -581
 
                        By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Research Student)

                 Gurkha/Gorkha Sayings Tales about Gurkha/Gorkha Rule in Garhwal
       Gurkha/Gorkha Historian Ramji Upadhyaya stated that Gurkha/Gorkha captured Langurgarhi, Pauri Garhwal after capturing. It is said that the Garhwal King Pradyuman Shah with his friend Jagat Prakash of Sirmaur was defeated by Gurkha /Gorkha army. They both fled away. Sirmaur King accepted the rule of Gurkha and Gorkha. There was Gorkha /Gurkha rule in Garhwal just after Langurgarh battle. As per Upadhyaya, there was Gurkha/Gorkha rule in Kumaon, Garhwal, and Haridwar in 1792. On that time Gurkha/Gorkha army had to return Nepal as China attacked on Nepal (Atkinson).
Discussion on Gurkha/Gorkha Sayings Tales about Gurkha/Gorkha Rule in Garhwal
      According to Nepal saying, Gurkha captured Garhwal in 1792 and the army crossed Alaknanda River. It was said that Sirmaur King Kirti Prakash (father of Jagat Prakash) went to help Garhwal and he was not given sufficient supply of food etc from Garhwal side. Kirti Prakash died in 1789.
 Both the stories are wrong as there are no records in Garhwal. Sirmaur King Jagat Prakash  helped Garhwal King Jai Kirti Shah in 1785.Perhaps Jagat Prakash came to Langurgarh in 1792,and while returning to Sirmaur he died  in Lakadghat (12 miles near to Chandighat). Therefore Jagat Prakash death can’t be before 1792. There are no records for Jagat Prakash accepting Gurkha/Gorkha Rule. According to Garhwal saying, Jagat Prakash deceived Garhwal and had accord with Gorkha around Langurgarh (a Handwritten note ‘Rajawali ‘ of Tehri Court  Museum along with papers of Historian Hari Krishna Raturi as described by Dr Dabral) . According to “Rajawali’, Jagat Prakash and his assistant Ishwar Singh died in Lakadgarh.

    History Discussion on Rebellion in Garhwal and Gurkha/Gorkha Rule in Garhwal

History: Gorkha Folk Tales and Sayings, Reports about Gurkha/Gorkha Rule in Kumaon, Garhwal, Himachal -3

History of Gorkha /Nepal Rule over Kumaun, Garhwal and Himachal (1790-1815) -63
   
   History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon and Haridwar) -582
 
                        By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Research Student)

  Upadhyaya stated many tales in Nepal ko Itihas (Digdarshan, Banaras). However, most of stories mentioned as Historical accounts were discarded by World Eminent Dr. Shiv Prasad Dabral.
          Upadhaya wrote that there were infighting among Bhardar and Umrav -court administrators of Nepal. Therefore, Garhwal King, with the help of Gurkha/Gurkha representatives Hakim Sardar Dalbir Rana  revolted against Nepal Kingdom. Therefore, in April 1805, Hastidal Chautariya, Kaji Dalmukh Singh, Sradar Bhakti Thapa, Kaji Narvir Singh Basnet, Kunwar Ranjit Prabhuti , other Hills Kings and Gurkha/Gorkha Army entered into Garhwal. Sheesram from Garhwal was there to resist Gurkha/Gorkha Army at the banks of  Kali River and Mandakini River. There was battle and Sheeshram fled with his army. Gurkha/Gorkha army followed Sheeshram and Bhakti Thapa  killed him in Khsapilung.  That way, Gurkha/Gorkha army recaptured Shrinagar.   
Discussion on Rebellion in Garhwal and Gurkha/Gorkha Rule in Garhwal
1-Reaper also mentioned about Garhwal-Gurkha Treaty of 1792 and Gurkha/Gorkha representative in Shrinagar Garhwal.
2-The folk tale states that Gurkha Representative and Garhwal King revolted against Gurkha/Gorkha rule. There is no mention of such incident in folk tales –‘Baiju Bamni’or  Nepalya Bamni and Gorkhyon ka Daur’.
3- The Gorkha/Gurkha attack on Garhwal in April 1805 is wrong as in Digdarshan, Ranbahadur ordered Gurkha to capture Garhwal in 1804. However, Ranbahadur was in Banaras till January 1804.Therefore there is confusing dates about Gurkha /Gorkha rule in Nepal ko Itihas.
4- Most Probably, Khshapilung would be in Mandakini Region (Nagpur) –‘Chopildhunga’. Perhaps Sheeshram resisted Gurkha/Gorkha army at –‘Chopildhunga’.
5- Sheeshram was not killed by Bhakti Thapa in the cited battle as Sheeshram became faithful to Gurkha army after paving safe way for King Pradyumna Shah. Gurkha appointed Sheesram as ef administrator (Amil) of Dehradun. Sheeshram put hands of Mahnat into boiling Oil in Dehradun after Gurkha capturing Deahradun. Brothers of Sheeshram were supporting British before British captured Dehradun.
6- There is no mention of Amar Singh Thapa in the above folk tales of Upadhyaya. It seems Amar Singh Thapa was not there at the time of Gurkha/Gorkha attack on Garhwal. He reached Shrinagar after some time. Maularam (Gadhrajvanshkavya) also mentions that Hastidal Chautariya and other commanders were in Shrinagar before Amar Singh Thapa reached to Shrinagar.
