Amar Singh Thapa distinguished as Badakaji Amar Singh Thapa[note 1](Nepali: बडाकाजी अमर सिंह थापा), or Amar Singh Thapa The Elder,[2] (also spelled Ambar Simha[3]) also known by the honorific name Bada Kaji ("Senior Kaji") or Budha Kaji[4] ("The Old Kaji"), was a Gorkhali military general, governor and warlord in the Kingdom of Nepal. He was the overall commander of the Nepal Army in the conquest of Western Provinces and authoritative ruler of Kumaon, Garhwal in the Kingdom of Nepal. He was referred by the King of Nepal to have been deployed as Mukhtiyar (equivalent to Prime Minister) of Western Provinces of Kumaon, Garhwal.[3] He is often hailed as Living Tiger of Nepal (Nepali: ज्यूँदो बाघ; jyūm̐do bāgha) and was posthumously regarded as one of the national heroes of Nepal,[5] who led the Anglo-Nepalese War for the Gorkhali Army. Amarsingh Chowk Pokhara and Shree Amarsingh Model Higher Secondary School are named after Amar Singh Thapa.
