The Gurkha War (1814–1816), sometimes called the Gorkha War or the Anglo-Nepalese War, was fought between the Kingdom of Nepal, Now Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal and the British East India Company as a result of border tensions and ambitious expansionism. The battle took place around the Nalapani fort, near Dehradun, which was placed under siege by the British between 31 October and 30 November 1814. The fort's garrison was commanded by Captain Balbhadra Kunwar, while Major-General Rollo Gillespie, who had previously fought in the Battle of Java, was in charge of the attacking British troops. Gillespie was killed on the first day of the siege while rallying his men and despite considerable odds, both in terms of numbers and firepower, Balbhadra and his 600-strong garrison successfully held out against more than 3,000 British troops for over a month.
