              British commanders appointed casual soldiers those left Gurkha or were eager to work for British. Dr Dabral mentioned that Army as ‘Asthai Sena). Amar Singh Thapa sent 800 soldiers towards Jaithak Garhi. Fredric Young was sent with 2000 temporary soldiers for defending those 800 Gurkha soldiers. Kisan Singh of Sirmour was with Fredric. On 20th February, Young and his army surrounded Gurkha army at Chumal Garh /Chunal Garh 15 miles away from Jaithak /Jaithok Garhi. Coward Kisan Singh spread rumor that 2000 Gurkha soldiers are coming with naked swords. The causal soldiers saw a few Gurkha soldiers with naked sword (Khukari) and they ran away from battle field. Gurkha followed those soldiers. Many soldiers fell in the valley and Gurkha killed others. Around 180 British causal soldiers were killed, 283 were injured by Gurkha soldiers. 1500 soldiers ran away leaving British army. According to Prinsep, that Gurkha troop was being led by Ujumba Pant and having 200 soldiers only. That incidents encouraged enthusiasm of Gurkha soldiers.

Worried British Commanders

Nepalese Anglo War with   Reference to Gurkha Rule over Uttarakhand & Himachal -89
History of Gorkha /Nepal Rule over Kumaun, Garhwal and Himachal (1790-1815) -205   
             History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon and Haridwar) -731
                                                                    
                                         By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Student)

      News of failures of two attacks reached to British army camps. The news also reached that Gurkha attacked on British army in Gorkhapur too. There was news that Balbhadra was also on the way for Jaithok Garh /Jaithak Garhi with 600 soldiers.
 In the eman time the People of Jaunsar and Jubbal revolted openly against Gurkha. Garhwali, Kumaoni, and Bushehari soldiers started escaping from Gurkha army to British army camps. Fraser built a Battalion of rebellion armed force of 400 such soldiers those deserted Gurkha army. In that army, 200 soldiers were Garhwali , Kumaoni and other soldiers were Sikh, Pathan and Mewati.
 On 31st January, The newly appointed Battalion failed the attack of Ranjor Thapa on British at Benta Hill. Ranjor attacked on British by 250 soldiers. The newly army killed 23 soldiers of Ranjor and injured many more.
Next day, New Battalion captured Nauni Danda a strategic hill three miles away from Jaithok/Jaithak Hill. However, very pessimistic C Major General Martindale did not order for attacking on Jaithok/Jaithak Hill fort. On 12th February 1815, Balbhadra reached to Jaithok /Jaithak Garhi with 400 -500 soldiers. The Army of Ranjor captured back Mor Danda Hill from where on 28th December 1814,  Richards returned back.

  Major Richards troop had to walk over 16 miles to the decided place. Richards troop reached at bottom of North hill at 8AM. From hill bottom the army had to go up hill. Richards ordered his troop for rest for two hours. When Richards troop reached at hill top (north Stage) they could not find any sign of Ludlow troop (South Stage). By then the Ludlow battalion escaped. The s Gurkha soldiers started playing drums (Dhol) around 1 PM. The Ranjor Thapa army started for attacking on British army led by Major Richards.  British soldiers fired guns on Gurkha soldiers, Gurkha soldiers were scattered and they hid below stones or bushes. Gurkha soldiers fired then and now. There was no shadow for Richards soldiers. At 4Pm, British  came to know that the bulls carrying guns, canons lost the ways and Gurkha soldiers looted the ammunition on bullocks by killing British soldiers. Richards wrote to Major General Martindell for soliciting the reinforce. However, Martindell was of opinion that without Ludlow, Richards soldiers could not win Gurkha and he did not send more troops and ammunition for Richards. Martindell ordered Richards for coming back.
 Before sun set, Gurkha soldiers attacked nine times on British troop. Every time British fired guns on Gurkha. Richards ordered soldiers for collecting stones.  By 7 PM, Richards army was at that place only. Gurkha could kill only around 20 -30 British army soldiers. There was no gun powder left with British army. Richards had to return to Nahan. It was decided to climb down to hill bottom from Hill through a narrow path (Gurbato).  It was necessary that a defense was also set up for the soldiers coming down from hill. Lieutenant Thacker and light infantry took responsibility to defend the army coming down to hill bottom. Young Thacker had 200 Indian soldiers, William Wilson, two European officers. British army soldiers started coming down on moon light. The soldiers under Thacker could defend from 1500 Gurkha soldiers for half an hour. Gurkha fired on Thacker and he died instantly. Wilson got injured and his one thigh was burst by Gun fire of Gurkha.  British army soldiers ran away from defensive position.  In that second British attack on Jaithok/Jaithak, there was loss of 76 solders, three officers and 306 soldiers were injured.

First British Attack on Jaithok/Jaithak Fort

Nepalese Anglo War with   Reference to Gurkha Rule over Uttarakhand & Himachal -87
History of Gorkha /Nepal Rule over Kumaun, Garhwal and Himachal (1790-1815) -203   
             History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon and Haridwar) -729
                                                                    
                                         By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Student)

  There was small fort or Garhi of 12x8 Meters in Jaithok. Garhi was built by mud and gray Hill stones. Jaithok was the meeting place of two Hills at lower level (Khal). There were two separate roads in each hill for reaching Jaithok /Jaithak Khal. Hastings had already studied important hill Garhis of Himachal, Garhwal and Kumaon. Hastings advised his army for surrounding Jaithok Garhi. There was no water source in Jaithok Garhi and soldiers of Garhi had to come down for water to four water sources. By capturing the water sources it was easy to compel enemy for surrender.
 However, Martindale decided for firing guns from two hills. On 26th December Night 1814, Martindale sent army of 800 solders led by Ludlow   from left hill and 500 soldiers led by William Richards through right hill. Both battalions had canons of 6 ponds and other advance canons. Those canons were reached on hills through elephants. Both the battalions were supposed to reach on hills by down. The path of Richards was long and road for Ludlow was shorter.
Ludlow reached at 8Am morning to the decided site. He found a hut with wood boundaries (Bara) there. His army also encountered three Bara (hut with fence) before reaching to hill. The British army fired on the soldiers of Bara. Informer informed that there were Gurkha soldiers trying to reach at fourth Bara .Guns and ammunition were not with soldiers and were far behind. Ludlow decided to attack on those Gurkha soldiers before them reaching to Bara.  Ludlow soldiers fired on Gurkha soldiers and easily captured fourth Bara. Ludlow was advised to wait for William Richard troop. However, due to insistence of soldiers Ludlow advanced his march and wished for capturing fifth Bara.
Gurkha soldiers allowed British army for reaching to fourth Bara. As soon as British army of 400 soldiers under Ludlow reached to fourth bara, Gurkha soldiers attacked suddenly on British army. Each Gurkha soldiers was shouting ‘Hirkai Deu –Kill them’. Gurkha soldiers were habitual of hills war and British soldiers were not habitual for fighting on hill roads. Gurkha started killing British soldiers by Khukri. British soldiers started running back. Ludlow also ran back. There was casualty of 31 European soldiers and 120 Indian soldiers. By 10AM Ludlow army reached to Nahan with shameful defeat.

 देहरादून मा घन्टाघरौ न्याड़ एक शराबखाना च नाम च विजय बार। 
उख मुहम्मद शेख जाक़िब रोज आंद , सबसे पैथराक मेज मा बैठद अर तीन छुट छुट पैगक ऑर्डर दींद।  फिर हरेक गिलास से एक गिलास से एक एक सिप करिक धीरे धीरे शराब की चुस्की लींद।  इन मा जब सबी तिनि गिलासुंक शराब खतम हूंद तो मुहम्मद जाक़िब फिर तीन छुट छुट पैगक तीन अलग अलग गिलासुं का  ऑर्डर दींद अर हर बार एक एक गिलास से सिप लेकि सबी गिलास खतम करदो। फिर तिसर दैं छुट छुट तीन पैगुं ऑर्डर दींद।  
विजय बारक बैरान ब्वाल ," साब यदि आप ये ऑर्डर तैं एक साथ ऑर्डर दे दींदा तो आप तैं क्वाटर का हिसाब से कम बिल दीण पोड़दा पर अब तो बिल मैंगा पोड़ल। "
मुहम्मद शेखन जबाब दे ," देख ! हम तीन दोस्त छया , राकेश गोयल , मि अर सोहन लाल गढ़वाली।  हम तिन्नी डीएवी कॉलेज मा पढ़दा छा तो हम तीन दैं छुट छुट पैग का ऑर्डर दींद छ।  अब राकेश गोयल दिल्ली च अर सोहन लाल गढ़वाली मुंबई च।  हम तिन्नयुं दोस्ती बरकार च अर हमन कसम खै छे कि हम रोज दगडी दारु प्योंला।  तो मि वूंक दगड़ ही दारु पींदो। "
अब मुहम्मद शेख विजय बार आंदो अर तीन दैं छुट छुट पैगुं ऑर्डर द्यावो अर सब्युंक बांठक दारु पेक चली जावो। 
एक दिन मुहम्मद शेखन द्वी द्वी छुट छुट पैगुं ऑर्डर दे। 
बैरान पूछ ," साब कुछ  अपघात ह्वे गे क्या ? जु आज केवल द्वी पैग ऑर्डर ?"
मुहम्मद शेखन जबाब दे ," ना ना।  कुछ तन नि ह्वे।  आज से मीन दारु छोड़ याल।  बस अब म्यार द्वी दगड्या ही दारु प्याला। "

ब्यौ काजुं मा हम क्यांक मजा लींदा ?

भीष्म कुकरेती  
ब्यौ काज न्यूत जीमण -जामण आदि मा हम लोग खुस हूंदा आनंद लींदवां मजा लुटदां।  तुम बतावो तो सै मजा लींद छां कि ना ?
पर जरा टक लगैक ध्यान लगैक स्वाचो त सै कि इन जगा पर हम मजा क्यांक लींदा क्यां से हम तैं सबसे जादा मजा आंद ?
तुम या मि शहरूं मा कैक ब्यावक न्यूत मा जांदवा त सबसे मिलदवां।  मिलदा छा कि ना पर क्या हम तैं कै तैं मीलिक मजा आंद ?
नै हम तै मजा तब आंद जब हम बुलदां बल यार मजा त गांवक न्यूत मा आंद छौ।  परसाद की सपडांग मा जु मजा छौ उ इख बुफे पार्टी मा कख च?
फिर हैंक न्यूतेर हुंगारी पूजिक हां  मा हां मिलैक बुलद - हां यार जु मजा माळु पत्तों पत्तळ चाटण  मा आंद छौ वू यूं प्लास्टिकौ प्लेटुं माँ कख ह्वे सकद।
अब तिसर चुप किलै रावो वो बि हुंगारी पुजद अर व्हिस्की की चुस्की लगांद लगाँद बुलद बल पर यार अब त गाउँ हालत भौत बुरी ह्वे गे . बगैर दारु क्वी काम इ नि करद। सर्यूळ  भात  पकाणो तबि आंद जब वैक ड्यार चार टैमो आठ बोतळ पौंच जांदन।
दुसर अपण दारु पंचों पैग खतम करदो अर बुल्दो बल अरे फिर उख ब्यौ काजुं मा दारु पेक जु घपला ,जु दंगऴयाट हूंद नि ब्वालो।  अब त हमर गां मा ये दारु वजै से ब्यौ घौरम हूण ई बंद ह्वे गेन।  उख गां मा लोग बाग़ तुमरि दारु पींदन अर तुमि तैं गाळि दीन्दन।
अब द्याखो जरा यीं न्यूत पार्टी मा अफु पैग पर पैग लगाणा छन अर तुलना करणा छन कि गां मा जीमण मा गांवक लोग दारु पींदन।
इख  न्यूत पार्टी क टेबल की बनि बनि   भोज्य पदार्थों तैं चखणा छन अर तुलना करणा छन कि पैलगाँव मा न्यूत भोज मा जादा मजा आंद छौ।
असल मा हम जीमण माँ याने पार्टी मा आज को  भोजन से मजा नि लींदा अपितु भूतकाल से तुलना करिक पास्ट से कम्पेयर करिक ही जीमण याने पार्टी का मजा लींदा।  हम तैं मजा आज से नि आंद। हम वर्तमान से आनंदित नि हूंदा बलकणम जब तलक वर्तमान की तुलना भूतकाल से नि करला त हम मजा लेइ नि सकदा। हमर आनंद मा तुलना एक आवश्यक मसाला हूंद । जन बगैर मसाला का भोजन मा मजा नि आंद उनी बगैर कंपैरिजन नामक मसाला का हम प्लेजर नि ले सकदा।  प्लेजर का वास्ता तुलना करण हमकुण एक  आवश्यक इंग्रेडिएंट च।
शादी हॉल ठंडो अर सुविधाजनक ह्वावो तो हम बुलदां बल, "हॉल एयरकंडीशंड च।  निथर परसि फलणो ब्यौ मा ! ये मेरि ब्वे गरमिन अर फगोसन मोरि गे  छा। " आज की ठंड से यदि हम पर्स्याकि गरमी से तुलना नि करला तो हम तैं ख़ुशी प्राप्त ह्वै इ नि सकेंद।  खुसी का वास्ता हम तुलना करदां। 
बर -ब्योलि देखिक हम बुलदां , " जोड़ि त ठीक च पर तै बरौ कुण मेरी साडो भाइक नौनि ही ठीक छे। टिपड़ा नि मील।  निथर आज । " इखम बि तुलना ही महत्वपूर्ण च।
पौण देखिक हम बुलदां बल ," पौण त ठीकि छन पण वो स्टैंडर्ड नी  च जु मेरि स्याळि द्युरो ब्यौ मा छौ !" तुलना से ही हम आनद ले सकदां।
हमर हरेक खुसी मा तुलना हूंद।
जरा श्मशान यात्रा का हाल द्याखो त सै उखम बि हम तुलना करिक दुःख का आनंद  या दुःख का स्वाद लींदा। मरण मा बि हम तुलना करदां।
ओहो या उमर थ्वड़ा  छे  मुरणै ! चलो अपण उमर भोगिक मोर ! भौत भोग बिचारिन !
यार श्मशान घाट बिंडी दूर ह्वे गयाइ।  जथगा लोगुं उम्मीद छे उथगा नि ऐन।  क्या बात दिवंगत का ऑफिस वाळ नि ऐन क्या दिवंगत की ऑफिस वाळ से नि बणदी रै होलि क्या बात बीच वाळ भाइ ब्वे कुण क्रिया मा बैठणु च जेठु भाइ क अपण ब्वे दगड़ नि बणदि रै होलि ?
यी वाक्य  क्या छन ?  सब तुलनात्मक वाक्य छन।
हमर मजा मा तुलना महत्वपूर्ण च।
तुलना की तराजू से हम प्रसन्न हूंदां।
माप -तौल से हम खुश हुँदा।
हम तै मजा तुलना से ही आंद।
हमर प्लेजर मा कम्पैरिजन आवश्यक इंग्रेडिएंट हूंद।
तुलण माप तौल करण कंपैरिजन करण ही हमर मजा च।
