                                         By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Student)
    When British army officers with highly developed modern weapons were showing coward attitude and using wrong strategies against Gurkha/Nepal the people of Jaunsar (Dehradun, Garhwal) were organizing them against Gurkha/Nepal. Jaunsari were eager to push Gurkha/Nepalese army from their territory. When on 20th October 1814, the British army led by Lieutenant Colonel Carpenter reached near to Kalsi the Gurkha army ran away from Kalsi Fort and ran to Bairatgarhi north of Kalsi. As British army captured Kalsi Fort, Jaunsari people became ready to kill Gurkha soldiers merely by wood staffs. Gurkha soldiers were taking shelter in Bairatgarhi at height of 7000 feet and the fort was safer than Khalnga Garh or Nalapani fort and Jaithak /Jaithok Fort. Jaunsari people stopped the supply chain reaching to Bairatgarhi. On 30th November 1814,  Balbhadra ran away from Bairatgarhi and British army led by Captain fast captured Bairatgarhi. According to Wilson, British army could capture Bairatgarhi only by the help of Jaunsari people who were acquainted about reaching to such difficult terrain as Bairatgarhi.
                             Jaunsaris Following Balbhadra
           Jaunsar People were enthusiastic after British captured Bairatgarhi .Now, Jaunsar people started stopping supply chains at various forts where Gurkha soldiers were staying. Jaunsar people followed Balbhadra who was escaping from Bairatgarhi towards Jaithak/Jaithok. There was head on between Jaunsari people and Balbhadra soldiers while Balbhadra soldiers were crossing Tones River. With 1000 soldiers, Major Baldric was coming towards Tones River for stopping Balbhadra reaching to Jaithok/Jaithak. However, there was heavy snow fall and storm and British army could not reach to Tones valley. Many Jaunsari entered into British army for taking revenge against Gurkha soldiers.

   Revolt in Himachal  against Gurkha/Nepalese Army
     As soon the people of Himachal came to know the brave acts of Jaunsaris, the people of Plava, Puchhar, Sain, Morni , Rajgarh the opposite of Tons valley of Himachal regions became active against Gurkha/Nepalese soldiers.  Getting information, British commander sent a battalion to help Himachal people the valley opposite of Tons valley. However, before British army reached to that territory People of Pulva, Puchhar , Rajgarh and Morni revolted against Gurkha soldiers and they also stopped supply chain of Gurkha soldiers. Balbhadra was also going through that territory and his army  burnt many villages of that Territory.

                                         By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Student)
     By February 1815, the Chiefs of Jubbal region were ready to push Gurkha from Jubbal. Punar Chief played a trick. He invited all Gurkha officers for collecting taxes and gifts and when Gurkha officers gathered in Punar villages, Punar region people killed al Gurkha officers. Then, Punar people with wooden stuff marched towards Chaupalgarhi under Jubbal Thakurai. There were a few Gurkha soldiers in Chaupalgarhi. Punar people surrounded Chaupalgarhi. Gurkha soldiers were afraid of brave Punar people. They shut them in Chaupalgarhi. In the mean time, Fraser marched towards Jubbal with 450 temporary soldiers on 15th March 1815. As soon as Fraser reached near to Jubbal, Gurkha soldiers surrendered before British and saved their lives  from Punar people army.

                     In West of Central Himalayas (Western Garhwal and Himachal), the Gurkha soldiers strength was around one third of total Gurkha army. Two third numbers of soldiers were Garhwali, Kumaoni, or Sirmur Himachali soldiers in Gurkha Army. There were Garhwali, Kumaoni, Sirmur Soldiers with Gurkha Commander Kirti Rana. When the Bushahr people led by Vazirs of Bushahr surrounded Gurkha Camp at Saradu ka Tibba (Tapda) the soldiers and Kirti Rana were in dangerous position. Kirti Rana surrendered on a condition that he would not be killed. He put condition that Vazirs (Ministers) should hand over him to British Commander. Bushahr people army captured Kirti Rana. Kumaoni, Garhwali, Sirmur soldiers left Gurkha army and choosing for becoming British army soldiers. Now, Garhwali, Kumaoni , Sirmur soldiers were with Bushahr people.

                                            Benefits from Kumaon Campaign

                    Hastings decided that Kumaon campaign would start after initiation in other regions against Gurkha/Nepalese. Hastings got information that the Kamin/Sayana (Regional and village Chiefs) were against Gurkha rule. There were lesser soldier power and material support in Kumaon with Gurkha army in Kumaon. The soldiers of Gurkha army from Kumaon and Garhwal were deputed towards east and west of Central Himalaya. That is why Hastings decided Kumaon campaign in October 1814.
                The benefits of Kumaon campaign were more. Even if there was no win in Kumaon the Gurkha army power would defused in Kumaon and it was easier for British for capturing Garhwal region. Kumaon campaign would reduce army power of Gurkha for Garhwal camping. The big benefit was that  Amar Singh Thapa would not lead Gurkha army in Kumaon. Kumaon campaign would break communication line and military support between Nepal and Amar Singh Thapa and Gurkha army of Himachal region. If Amar Singh Thapa would come to protect Kathmandu he would be stopped anywhere in Himachal and Garhwal.
          The Kumaon campaign was also beneficial for inspiring Garhwalis and Kumaunis for going against Gurkha army.  Initially, Garhwalis and Kumaunis perceived that British were interested in capturing only plains fo Hill Kingdoms. Kumaon campaign assured Garhwalis and Kumaonis that British was also eager for winning Hill regions too of Hill Kingdoms. Tularam the Kamin of Langoor also sent the letter that if British act against Gurkha in Hill regions Garhwalis would go against Gurkha with full force.

Nepal Rule over Kumaun, Garhwal and Himachal (1790-1815) -216

             History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon and Haridwar) -744               
                                         By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Student)

                  Johan Adam the Secretary of East India Company sent a ‘Declaration for Kumaunis ‘ along with a letter on 14th December 1814 to Edward Gardner (Moradabad). The declaration was in Persian, Hindustani and English. Adam was asked for translating the ‘Declaration into Kumauni and to be distributed among Kumaunis. There is no Kumauni translation available in English Premutiny Records. In Himalayan Districts vo.l II page 646, Atkinson wrote the transliteration of that declaration as follows –
  British government was watching for many days that Kumaoni people are suffering Gurkha oppressive rule. However, till there were amicable relationship of British with Gurkha, British administration had to have amicable relation with Nepal. British administration had to watch the suppression of Kumaoni People. When Gurkha reached the height of oppression and violence British government had to fight with Gurkha/Nepal and come forward for helping Kumaunis. British Government is eager for freeing Kumaon from oppressive rule of Nepal. British administration sent army to free Kumaon from Gurkha/Nepal rule. Kumaoni people are requested for helping British army. And accept the rule of British Government without any resistance and violence. People could get all rights under British rule and British will protect the wealth and people of Kumaon.
 The above declaration was distributed among Kumaoni. British officers contacted those Kumaunis who were in touch with Rutherford. Harsh Dev Joshi also reached to Kashipur. Harsh Dev Joshi sent letters to influential Kumaoni elites.
