Kashiram Thapa
Commander-in-Chief of Kantipur Kingdom
Kashiram Thapa (Nepali: काशीराम थापा) was the army commander of Jaya Prakash Malla.[2] King Jagajjaya Malla had appointed him as Umrao of Nuwakot.[3] He had wide control over Palanchok preventing Prithvi Narayan Shah to evade Bhadgaon.[4] He was considered to be a courageous and ambitious person who was good in dealings and organizing.[5] When Gorkhali king Prithvi Narayan Shah plundered Nuwakot, he was sent to defend the area. He lost the battle on 1746 AD and was thought of deceiving the Kantipur Kingdom.[6] [7] Previously, he had won the Naldum area from Gorkhali and gained the confidence of King Jaya Prakash.[8] So, the King was confident on Kashiram as Prithvi Narayan Shah had on Kalu Pande.[5] However Kashiram lost and got the King angry for which he was assassinated.[9][10] His brother Parashuram Thapa sided to Gorkha Kingdom when his brother was killed without justification.[10]
