AMAR SINGH THAPA:-

Amar singh thapa was the son of Bhim singh thapa. Bhim Singh Thapa was a brave soldier in the army of Prithivi Narayan Shah. After the death of Bhim Singh Thapa, Amar singh Thapa was brought to the palace of Prithivi narayan Shah. He grew up there.


Amar singh Thapa was a great warrior. He played a vital role in conquering western states of Nepal. He extended the boundry of Nepal up to Kangada.

Due to a border dispute, a war broke out between Nepal and the British in 1814 AD. In this war, Amar Singh Thapa was in charge of all the battles on the western front. He defeated the British troops. The British General Octorlony tried to take Amar Singh thapa on his side by offering him a large amount of money and land, and promised to make him king of some states. Amar Singh Thapa refused and fought bravely. As an honour to his bravery, he was given the title of Bada Kazi. There were no comparisons between the military strength of Nepal and Britain. They had more troops and modern weapons. At last, Nepal was defeated and compelled to sign a treaty. According to the treaty Nepal had to leave a big part of western region. It shocked Amar Singh Thapa very much. He went to live in Gosaikund where he died.
