If you have studied about the Ahom dynasty you would know that the Moamaria Rebellion in 1769 nearly shook the foundation of the Ahom Kingdom. Add to that the incompetent rulers at the helm. It was only after the intervention of the British at the request of Gaurinath Singha (then Ahom King) and under the leadership of Captain Thomas Welsh that peace was restored all but temporarily.
Gaurinath Singha’s successors Kamaleswar Singha and Chandrakanta Singha were reduced to nominal rulers due to their own incompetencies. The real power was in the hands of the Prime Minister, Purnananda Buragohain. This fuelled tensions among other chiefs and one such chief, Badan Chandra Barphukan, Viceroy of Lower Assam was particularly opposed to the Buragohain.
The Barphukan plotted the murder of Purnananda Buragohain, but the latter came to know about it. The Buragohain sent Maheswar Parbatiya Phukan to arrest Badan Chandra Barphukan. Coincidentally, Barphukan’s daughter was Purnananda Buragohain’s daughter in law, who warned her father about the developments. The Barphukan fearing execution rushed to Calcutta to seek help from the Bristish, but was unable to do so. Thereafter he was able to escape to Burma and sought the help of the Burmese King. The Burmese agreed and attacked Assam with a strong army in 1817.
