History of Fall of Minyan Ghamand Singh

History of Garhwal including Haridwar (1223- 1804 AD) –part -170

History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon and Haridwar) -417

By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Research Student)

After Minyan Ghamand Singh taking charge as Chief Minister of Garhwal Kingdom, ministry started working as usual. Ministers were attending court in morning and afternoon. However, Minyan Ghamand Singh also proved to be authoritarian. Minyan Ghamand Singh started taking decision without taking advices from ministers and elites. He was more atrocious than Kripa Ram Dobhal. Due to his atrociousness other ministers and elites became his opponents. Ghamand Singh had his own strong army with him in Shrinagar. Therefore, goldar (police and army officers) did not oppose Ghamand Singh openly. Goldar were afraid that Ghamand Singh would fire them from their posts.

Conspiracy of Goldar (defense and police officers)

Due to a couple of orders, the Goldar were terrified. Vijay Ram Negi was paternal uncle of Ajabram Negi. Vijay Ram and Ajab ram belonged to Kainyur of Chopdakot of Chaundkot region. Both were Goldar in Shrinagar court. Vijay Ram requested Ghamand Singh for his salary as he was going to his village for marriage of his niece. Ghamand Singh refused to pay his salary. Vijay Ram went to his village without taking proper permission from anybody. Ghamand Singh was displeased by behavior of Vijay Ram. The ministers told to Ghamand Singh that “you had become atrocious and do not take their advices. You did not pay salary to Vijay Ram. We don’t like your dictatorship. You go back to Doon (Dehradun).” The ministers requested him to kill Nauityals and Dobhals. Ghamadn Singh refused to do so as he had taken vow not to kill them.

Ghamand Singh complained to the King about the misbehavior of ministers. The weak King was pleased by knowing the fraction among Ghamand Singh and other ministers. He ordered Ghamand Singh to correct the ministers. The King spread the news that he was ill.

The ministers became afraid that now Ghamand Singh would finish them.

Ajab Ram Negi went to see the King with Ghamand Singh. Ajab ram Negi got money for his sister’s marriage from the king.

Conspiracy of Goldar against Ghamand Singh in Kainyuar Chaundkot

Dhannu Gaddi the Chief Commander of Garhwal army in Kumaon that was sent with Lalit Shah, his assistants Lachman, Baliya and Kewal Gaddi the Goldar from Shrinagar met in Kainyuar, Chaundkot. They planned that after the marriage of sister of Ajab Ram they would attack on Ghamand Singh. Three Negi leaders of Shrinagar were also with that party for diminishing Ghamand Singh.

Letter from Goldars

Goldar sent letter to Minyan Ghamand Singh that he was regularly paying salaries to his army but did not pay salaries to armed forces but not paying salaries for other Goldars. Goldar threatened Ghamand Singh that if he did not pay their salaries they would attack on Shrinagar.

Ghamand Singh showed the letter to Ministers and the King in Shrinagar. The ministers 9infact they were with Goldar in conspiracy) told that the army under Dhannu Gaddi was Garhwal army in Kumaon. Ministers suggested Ghamand Singh to pay salary of force under Gaddi. There was no enough money in the treasury. He could not send payment to Dhannu Gaddi.

Goldar send threatening letter again to Minyan Ghamand Singh.

Attack on Shrinagar

Now, goldar were not in waiting mood. Goldar marched towards Shrinagar with Sovan Singh Negi (a messenger of Ghamand Singh who brought letter of Ghamand Singh). Ajab Rram attacked on Shrinagar. Most of ministers went in the camp of Ajab Ram.

Ghamand Singh freed Shrivilas Nautiyal, Bhava Nand Nautiyal, Dhaniram Dobhal and Devi Datt. Ghamand Singh told them that he was going forward to defuse the rebel (Goldar and ministers) and asked Nautiyals to protect Shrinagar.

Armies of Ajab Ram, Vijaya Ram, Dhannu Gaddi , Kewal gaddi surrounded the army of Ghamand Singh from all sides. The battle started between them.

Then a commander Ummed Singh came to Goldar with request to stop war and come to Shrinagar to administrate. Maularam wrote that he offered gold coins to them.

Court Poet Maularam Protecting Shrivilas Nautiyal and Party

The rumor spread that Goldar forces captured Shrinagar and now the force would kill Ghamand Singh.

In night, Shrivilas Nautiyal, Devi Datt and Dhaniram Dobhal went to Maularam for getting protection from Goldar leaders (as in past, ministers and Goldar wanted to kill Nautiyal and Dobhal party and Ghamand Singh protected them due to his vow).

Maularam sent a letter to Ajab Ram to allow him to get asylum to Shrivilas, Devi Datt and Dhaniram. Maularam informed that Nautiyal party would help to Ajab Ram party.

Ajab Ram came to Shrinagar. Ghamand Singh was in Ulfata with his army. Baliya and Kewal Ram had force at Ojhabag. Lachman was at Damki just opposite of Ghamand Singh’s force. Vijay Ram had camp at Harbans Haveli, Dhannu Gaddi was managing force at Ganga bank and Ajab Ram was at Chaunri (terrace). There was gun firing from all sides on the army of Ghamand Singh. In night, Ghamand Singh ran away from Shrinagar. Goldars followed Ghamand Singh and Ghamand Singh ran to plains away from Garhwal territory. A commander Kedar Singh from the force of Doon also ran to plains away from Garhwal.

Maularam reached to the king in night with Shrivilas Nautiyal and party. The King was pleased to see Nautiyal party alive.

Next day, the King Jai Kirti Shah invited all Goldars in the court and pardoned all Goldars. He asked them to administrate well. There was peace for some time after fall of Ghamand Singh.

Jai Kirti Shah appointed Ummed Singh as Faujdar (Governor) of Doon valley.

History of Fall of Kripa Ram Dobhal

History of Garhwal including Haridwar (1223- 1804 AD) –part -169

History of Uttarakhand (Garhwal, Kumaon and Haridwar) -416

By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Research Student)

Authoritarian Administration by Kripa Ram Doval

After dispatching Jaya Nand Joshi and farewell of Pradyuman Shah from Shrinagar and diminishing of Khanduri clan, Kripa Ram Doval started administrating Garhwal court with strict norms. He centralized all power in his hands. Kriparam Doval was chief minister, mukhtar and Faujdar of Salan (a major source of money), He did not allow dissidents reaching to the King without his knowledge. For stopping dissidents working against him he appointed his brother in law Shrivilas Nautiyal as interior minister for the Palace and Bhavanand Nautiyal the elder brother of Shrivilas Nautiyal as exterior minister for Palace. No person could enter palace or come without the permission of Nautiyal brothers.

Now, it was compulsion to take permission from Kriparam Dobhal for meeting the king for subjects and administrators. Kripa Ram Dobhal started clearing the applications on behalf og the King. Kriparam Doval used to punish those who used to threaten complaining about Dobhal to the King. Work was cleared for those who used to lure Kriparam. Kriparam Dobhal appointed Dobhal people on major positions in the court.

Kriparam Doval used to have court in his own palace. He used to take complaints and used to offer judgment accordingly. Dobhal used to meet important administrators art his residence and used to order them from there. Kriparam Doval used to send threatening letter or strict order for Faujadars (governors or executives) of far territories.

Conspiracy against Dobhal by Negi Clans

Other ministers, elites and administrators were unhappy by watching the autocracy of Kriparam Doval. Those administrators understood very well that Kriparam Dobhal would like to diminish all his enemies or others too.

Three leaders of Negi clan Ucchav Singh Negi, Sohan Singh Negi and Deewan Singh Khatri sent letter to Minyan Ghamand Singh the Faujdar of Dehradun and his brother Minyan Kedar Singh. Negi leaders wrote in letter that “From the time you migrated to Dehradun you forgot Shrinagar. Here in Shringar, Kriparam Dobhal took power in his hands. He is killing his opponents. Kriparam does not show kindness or mildness on his opponents. Kriparam Dobhal had appointed his men on major positions. He stopped Vriti (salary etc) to old recipients. Kriparam would be King very soon. Dobhal is going to snatch your post od Faujdar of Doon valley. Come to Shrinagar and clear this danger. Inform us when you coming.”

History of Minyan Ghamand Singh in Shrinagar

Minyan Ghamand Singh and his brother decided to kill Kriparam Dobhal as soon as they would reach to Shrinagar. They took Bakshi Hari Singh of Jaunpur with them for Shrinagar. Ghamand Singh and Hari Singh marched towards Shrinagar with their own force. They reached Shrinagar and camped at Ulfata.

In that night, most of the ministers came to meet Minyan Ghamand Singh covering them by blankets. They all took religious vow to kill Kriparam Dobhal. They all planned to kill Kriparam Dobhal and his supporters. Later on all came back.

Ghamand Singh Company Killing Kripa Ram Dobhal

In morning Ghamand Singh asked his soldiers to be ready with arms and ammunition. Soldiers marched towards the palace. Musicians playing Daf music instruments were leading the soldiers. When Kriparam came out of his residence, he found that soldiers of Ghamand Singh were roaming all the corners of Shrinagar.

The informer came to Kripa Ram Dobhal and informed that he should be cautious as conspirators (Ghamand Singh) might kill him. However, Kriparam told to the informer that Ghamand Singh was his friend and he would not do anything wrong. The guards asked Kriparam about taking precautions against Ghamand Singh. Kriparam told to his guards not to worry from Ghamand Singh side. Guars became careless in allover Shrinagar from Ghamand Singh side.

Kriparam Dobhal went to court as usual. King was on his seat. Devi Datt, Bhavanand Nautiyal, Shrivilas Nautiyal, Dhaniram Dobhal the son of Kriparam and others were sitting n their seats.

Ghamand Singh , Hari Singh and their major soldiers entered to the court after some time. After saluting the King, Ghamand Singh and Hari Singh sat near Kriparam Dobhal. There was dead silence in the court.

Kriparam Dobhal told,” Ghamand Singh! Now, you met the King. Yu go to rest in your camp and come in the pre-evening. You are great Faujdar of Dehradun and we appreciate you. Whatever would be your suggestions would be dealt with positive frame of minds by the King.”

Ghamand Singh understood that Kriparam is luring him. Minyan Ghamand Singh was sure that if this situation is delayed he would not be able to kill Kriparam Dobhal.

Ghamand Singh went before the King and saluted him with honoring words. Ghamand Singh came towards Kriparam Dobhal pretending him to offer coins bag. In the mean time, Hari Singh and his soldiers caught Kriparam. Soldiers of Ghamand Singh caught other ministers related to Kriparam and tied them. An assistant took the King on his lap and jumped from the court and ran towards palace.

Kriparam was uttering bad words for Ghamand Singh. Ghamand Singh beheaded Kriparam Dobhal in the palace. There was total silence allover Shrinagar. Nobody came out of residence. There was total strike in the city.

Shrivilas Nautiyal, Bhavanand Nautiyal Dhaniram Dobhal ran towards palace.

The King was sitting on his Kharokha of palace. Gamand Singh came before Jharokha and told to the King that since Kriparam had become dictator he killed him. Ghamand Singh requested the King to rule as usual. King appointed Ghamand Singh as Chief Minister of the Kingdom and strike was declared off.

Prison supporters of Kriparam Dobhal

Next morning, Ghamand Singh came again before Jharokha of palce. Ghamand Singh asked the King to hand over supporters of Kriparam Dobhal. The King told that since, supporters of Kriparam were in his shelter it was wrong on part of a Rajput King not to protect those were in asylums.
