Kingdom of Bajhang
# Kingdom of Bajhang

The Kingdom of Bajhang (Nepali: बझाङ) was a petty kingdom in the confederation of 24 states known as Chaubisi Rajya. The kingdom was established in 1503 BS. The kingdom was ruled by 61 kings.

In 1848 BS, the kingdom was annexed to the Kingdom of Nepal, however, the royals of Bajhang were given special status. This changed in 2017 BS when the democratic government of Nepal passed an act to not recognize any of such status. The prince of Bajhang, Om Jung, at the time was unsatisfied and appealed in court against the act, but he could not succeed to revert the act. Instead, he started to make his own army to fight against the Nepal government. In the same year, the rebellion movement of Om Jung caused a fight with Nepal police in which 150 were injured. Omjung flee to India to collect more arms and army. Later, Omjung was killed in an army operation in Bajhang district.
