Renaudip Singh Bahadur

Renaudip Singh Bahadur

Maharaja Sir Renaudip Singh Bahadur, KCSI, Kaiser-i-Hind (3 April 1825-22 November 1885), was the second Prime Minister of Nepal from the Rana dynasty. As per the family laws of succession, he succeeded his elder brother Jang Bahadur following his death in 1877. Deeply pious, he composed several devotional hymns and was granted a personal salute of 15 guns from the British in 1883 and the title of Tung-ling-ping-ma-kuo-kang-wang (Truly Valiant Prince; commander of foot and horse) from the Guangxu Emperor in 1882. He was assassinated by his nephews, the sons of Dhir Shamsher, during a coup d'etat in 1885, and was succeeded by his nephew, Bir Shamsher Jang Bahadur.

Jang Bahadur's remaining sons, as well as Prince General Dhoj Narsingh Rana (son of Ranodip Singh), were forced to seek refuge in India. The descendants of Jang and Ranodip live today in North India (mainly Dehra Dun, Allahabad and Udaipur) and Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
