This article explains the circumstances, including the Kot and Bhandarkhal massacres, in which Jang Bahadur came to power in Nepal over King Rajendra Bikram Shah and Queen Rajya Lakshmi Devi. Jang Bahadur appointed himself prime minister for life, and ensured that only members of his Rana family could hold that office after him. The article also discusses Jang Bahadur's travels abroad including stops in Europe, his successful war on Tibet, and his early life. (Ben Deitle 2006-06-27)
