BAHADUR SHAH:-

Bahadur Shah was the youngest son of Prithvi Narayan Shah, his eldest son Pratap Singh Shah became the king of Nepal, but he died soon. His two and half years old son, Rana Bahadur Shah, ascended the throne of Nepal. As he was an infant, his mother Rajendra Lxmi shah ruled as a regent. Relationship between Bahadur Shah and Rajendra Laxmi was not so good. So Bahadur Shah went to live in India. He returned to Nepal after the death of Rajendra Laxmi and started to rule as the regent of his nephew Rana Bahadur Shah.


Prithvi Narayan Shah wanted to unify the whole country. Bahadur Shah helped fulfil this dream of Prithivi Narayan Shah. He unified the Baise states including Kumaun, Garhwal and almoda in the west and up to Sikkim in the east. He proved himself to be a worthy son of a worthy father.

Bahadur shah was a true patriot and a great diplomat. He married the daughter of Mahadutta Sen , the king of Palpa. He did so as Palpa was a powerful state which could have been an obstacle in his unification campaign.

When Rana Bahadur Shah came of age, he did not like his uncle Bahadur Shah.He accused Bahadur shah of misusing the state treasure and imprisoned him. Bahadur Shah died in prison in 1795 AD.
