      Around 300 Gurkha soldiers were roaming on Hill of Song River before British captured Nalapani Fort. It was guessed that Gurkha commander Ranjor Singh from Nahan , Himachal deputed those soldiers for helping Balbhadra in Dehradun. Maubi decided that the Balbhadra company should not meet those soldiers around hill of Song River. Perhaps Randip Kaji was leading Gurkha soldiers around Hill of Song River.
    Balbhadra reached Dobar from Nalapani. Perhaps the Ranjor Company also met Balbhadra troop here. On 1st December Guru Singh a spy of Ludli  informed that a Gurkha troop is staying on Hill of Baldigad Gadan. On the same day, Ludli reached there with 450 Indian soldiers. In night the British soldiers saw fire on Balgad Gadan Hill. 100  Indian soldiers of British army with three officers raided on Gurkha troop at Balgad Gadan Danda (Hill). Gurkha soldiers were scattered and 60 Gurkha soldiers were killed. 4 British soldiers were injured. British army snatched two rod of flags from Gurkha. Maubi was happy and Hastings sent a congratulating message to Maubi and asked to reward Guru Singh for Rs 100.

          Leaving Balvant Kaji in Camuva, Balbhadra preceded towards west (towards Himachal).Balbhadra stayed at Jotgarh Garhi with his soldiers. Jotgarh Fort was north east of Bairat of Jaunsar. As mentioned earlier that Carpenter captured Kalaseedhi and Yamuna port on 20th October 1814. Gorkha troop was at Bairat three miles away from Kalsi. Bairat Garhi was at 7000 feet high and was hard to reach. However, Jaunsar People declared the support to British army. Jaunsaris stooped food supply to Bairat Garhi. When Balbhadra fled from Khalanga /Nalapani, the Gurkha troop also fled from Bairat Fort. As the Gurkha fled from Bairat Garhi, Captain Frost captured Bairat Garhi on 14th December  1814. After capturing Bairat Garhi, British had rule over Dehradun and Jaunsar.
 British commanders stopped communication line of Gurkha armies from Himachal to Garhwal, Kumaon and Nepal. British army got many letters of Gurkha that was witness that a troop was being sent from Shrinagar to Ranjit Singh Thapa at Nahan.

              British Capturing Chumvagarhi
        On December 1814, Captain Carpenter got order for capturing Chamuva Gadhi where Balbhadra Kunwar was staying . Carpenter was asked by all means to stop Blabhadra Kunwar for meeting Ranjor  Singh Thapa in Nahan.  Carpenter had only 200  soldiers and he waited for more soldiers to come. The soldiers with Balbhadra Kunwar were around 300. Balbhadra Kunwar fled from Chamuva Garhi to Jauntgarh before British could capture Chamuva Garhi. Randeep Kaji was in Chamuva Garhi. On 20th March 1815, British army attacked on  Chamuva Garhi on 20th March 1815 and captured the fort. Randeep Kaji fled with 300 soldiers crossing Bhagirathi River.

                   
 

                  British Capturing Jaunt Garh
  In January 1815, with 400 permanent soldiers and 600 newly recruited soldiers Major Bulldock  attacked Jaunt Garh fort. However, Baldock failed in capturing Jaunt Garh. Taking benefits, Balbhadra Kunwar fled from Jaunt Garh fort towards Jaithok by crossing Tons River. When Blabhadra Kunwar crossed Tons River,  Jaunsaris tried to stop Balbhadra with wood staff. Balbhadra could easily flee before Jaunsaris as they were not trained for such war. Without any difficulty Balbhadra fled away. In March 1815, British army attacked with full force on Jaunt Garhi. Gurkha soldiers fled away towards east by crossingBhagirathi River.
                No help from Sudarshan Shah
  Sudarshan Shah, Shivram, Kashiram , Ashadhu Gusain and others were with Lieutenant  Menrath , Baldock. However, Sudarshan Shah could not inspire Garhwalis for helping British as British had hopes. Himachal Kings could inspire their subjects for helping British army against Gurkha.
By capturing Chamuva Garh and Jaunt Garh, British had possession over Yamuna and Bhagirathi valleys and Gurkha fled towards east (Shrinagar).

                 After capturing Dehradun Garhwal, British decided for capturing Nahan and other regions of Himachal.
  Colonel Maubi marched with army from Dehradun towards Nahan on 5th December 1814. Through Kheda valley, his troop reached to Saharanpur region. On 19th December 1814, his troop camped in Himachal seven mile far away from Nahan. Major General Martindale (in place of Gillespie) reached there for commanding Third battalion. Nahan city was at the height of 3000 Feet. From west of Kali River, the Nepalese commanders as Bamshah, Balbhadra, Ranjor and Amar Singh Thapa ran away from their base camps and hide in unknown places in Hilly regions. Their strategy was to defend British army at Higher altitude. Amar Singh Thapa advised Ranjor to take shelter at Jaithok Garhi (Fort) that was in north to Nahan and at higher altitude than Nahan.
 British army captured Nahan on 24th December 1814 without any resistance from Nepalese Army.

                                         By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Student)

           Before, British started campaign against Nepal, Ranjor was also war against British as his father was. However, when British started attacking on Gurkha, Ranjor was ready to fight till end. He was ready to sacrifice his life for his King and Country. Ranjor ignored the advice of Nepal King for friendly accord with British. Ranjor was waiting for British army at Jaithok Garhi. Ranjor also invited Balbhadra for coming to Jaithok Fort. Ranjor had communication lines with the Gurkha officials in Shrinagar, Almora and Nepal through Hill path on Nort Garhwal. There was no communication problem for communicating with Amar Singh Thapa in west.
 After British capturing Doon valley, the  Kamin (heads ) of Kalsi, Kangar and Palwa villages were inclined towards British army and Shishram etc were in contact with those Kamin. Ranjor wrote a letter to Kangar village chief and cautioned him – “Our army is just to reach from Shrinagar and Kumoan. You left us due to influence from Shishram. However, within 8-10 days, our army led by Balbhadra will reach to Yamuna Port. You meet Balbhadra and support us. Otherwise we shall kill your people and will take away your women. Send 25 monds of Lead to us for making gun powder).”
 Ranjor wrote letter to Chief of Palwa,” Send immediately tax.If you listen SHishram and when our army would reach to palwa we shall kill all people who are supporting Shishram. Don’t allow Shishram to Palwa. The person who will kill Shishram or would catch him we shall reward the person. Send tax and food grains to Jaithak. We shall offer important information to people who come with tax and food grains.”
    There were 1500 soldiers with Jaithok Gadhi . Gurkha soldiers were lesser than local fighters.  From Jaithok, Ranjor and his soldiers could easily watch on the activities of British army in Nahan. There were three four water sources nearby Jaithok Fort. Ranjor used to call food grains and other materials from nearby villages forcibly.
