Purandar Singha
Purandar Singha (1818–19, 1833–1838) was the last king of Ahom kingdom in Assam. He was installed as king twice. First time, he was installed by Ruchinath Burhagohain in 1818 CE, after the latter deposed Chandrakanta Singha from the throne. His first reign ended in 1819 CE, during the second Burmese invasion of Assam, when his forces were defeated and the Burmese reinstalled Chandrakanta Singha on the throne. He along with Ruchinath Burhagohain continued their efforts to expel Burmese invaders, by seeking help from British and through armed struggle. After First Anglo-Burmese War, the British East India Company occupied Assam from Bumese invaders. Finding it difficult to administer an unfamiliar region and sensing discontent among the local inhabitants to foreign rule, the British authorities decided to restore Upper Assam to one prince of Ahom Dynasty. Purander Singha was found suitable for this post and therefore, in April 1833 CE, except Sadiya and Matak region, the entire Upper Assam was formally made over to him, on the condition of yearly tribute of 50,000 rupees. Later, in 1838 CE, finding him incompetent and defaulter in payments of revenue, the British formally annexed his kingdom, putting an end to 600 years reign of Ahom Dynasty.
==Ancestry and Family History==
Purandar Singha was the son of Brajanath Gohain, son of Bijoy Barmura Gohain, grandson of Ratneswar Saru-gohain, and great grandson of Swargadeo Rajeswar Singha. Ratneswar Saru-gohain had joined the ranks of rebels against his uncle Swargadeo Lakshmi Singha during the first phase of Moamoria rebellion. But after the Moamoria rebels achieved success, they treacherously murdered him, by administering poison on his food. Later Lakshmi Singha regained his throne, by defeating the Moamoria rebels. Bijoy Barmura Gohain, son of Ratneswar Saru-gohain also got involved in conspiracy against the regime of Swargadeo Lakshmi Singha. He was caught and was punished by inflicting mutilation on his ears. He again conspired against the king, only to be caught and suffered mutilation. His young son Brajanath Gohain also suffered mutilation on his ears by royal orders.〔Bhuyan Dr. S.K. Swargadeo Rajeswar Singha first edition 1975 Publication Board of Assam Guwahati page 226〕 During the reign of next monarch Gaurinath Singha, Bijoy Barmura plotted against the king, in association with Hangsa Narayan, the tributary ruler of Darrang. The plot was discovered and Hangsa Narayan was seized and put to death. Bijoy Barmura with his family escaped to Kachari kingdom. In 1803 CE, during the reign of Kamaleswar Singha, Bijoy Barmura joined some fugitive Moamoria rebels in Kachari kingdom and planned an uprising against Ahom kingdom.〔Bhuyan Dr. S.K. Tunkhungia Buranji or A History of Assam (1681-1826) second edition 1968 Department of HISTORICAL AND ANTIQUARIAN STUDIES IN ASSAM Guwahati page 152〕 They were aided by Kachari king Krishna Chandra, and a large numbers of Kacharis joined their rank. The Kachari-Moamoria coalition rose against Ahom authority in present day, Nagaon and Morigaon districts, which resulted in a full scale war with Ahoms. The Kachari-Moamoria coalition was defeated and many rebel leaders were either killed or captured. Kamaleswar Singha demanded Kachari king Krishna Chandra to hand over Bijoy Bormura Gohain to Ahom authorities, but Bijoy Bormura Gohain escaped with his son Brajanath Gohain to British ruled Bengal. Bijoy Barmura stayed his rest of his life in Silmari in Bengal. In 1809 CE, Brajanath Gohain went to Calcutta, interviewed with the Governor-General and tried to procure military aid to fulfill his ambition to become king, in exchange of acknowledging British supremacy, but in vain.〔Bhuyan Dr. S.K.
