Ranarchy

Ranarchy or Rana regime in Nepal started from the year 1846 to 1953 A.D. Jung Bahadur Rana played a great role in establishing the Rana rule in Nepal. His father, Bal Narasingh Kunwar was the body gaurd of King Rana Bahadur Shah. After the assassination of King Rana Bahadur, Bhimsen Thapa was the supreme powerful person in Nepal who was a very close relative of Bal Narasingh Kunwar. Thus, Jung Bahadur had close relation with the Royal Palace of Nepal. After the downfall of Bhimsen Thapa, the life of Jung  Bahadur became very miserable. He was a power monger and could do anything to gain power. He, even, assassinated his own maternal uncle, Mathbar Singh Thapa to win the trust of the queen and achieve power. There were minor kings and worst conspiracy in the Nepalese Royal Palace after the death of Pratap Singh Shah. Jung Bahadur utilized the situations wisely and founded Ranarchy.
