Jung Bahadur Rana,GCB, GCSI (born Bir Narsingh Kunwar) was accused in 1846 of plotting with the junior queen to become prime minister, by putting the queen's son on the throne.[1] His original name was Bir Narsingh Kunwar but he was commonly known as Jang Bahadur, a name given to him by his maternal uncle Mathabar Singh Thapa.[2][3]
His mother Ganesh Kumari was the daughter of Kaji Nain Singh Thapa, brother of Mukhtiyar Bhimsen Thapa of the then prominent ruling Thapa dynasty.[4] During his lifetime, he eliminated the factional fighting at the court, removed his family's rivals like Pandes and Basnyats, introduced innovations in the bureaucracy and judiciary, and made efforts to modernize Nepal.[5] He is one of the important figures in Nepalese history. Some modern historians blame Jung Bahadur for setting up a dark period of Nepalese history, an oppressive dictatorship in Nepal that lasted 104 years. Other historians blame his nephews, the Shumsher Ranas, for the dark period.[3] Rana's rule is associated with tyranny, debauchery, economic exploitation and religious persecution.[6][7]
