Biography

Thirbam Malla was born in 1925 in Nepal.[1] He grew up in a privileged family and he studied at a military school in Dehradun.[1]

In 1950, the Nepali Congress launched a countrywide revolution to remove the power of the Rana dynasty.[2] Malla had master-planned to capture the city of Birgunj and the fort alongside obtaining arms and the treasury.[3] On 10 November 1950, they managed to capture Badahakim (governor), his guards, and their weapons without any casualties.[2][4] When he was talking about "peace and order" to the guards, a Rana officer shot him and fled.[4] Malla was taken to hospital in Raxaul where he later died on 11 November.[4]

After his death, he has received martyrdom.[5][6] In 2000, the Government of Nepal issued a stamp featuring Thirbam Malla.[7]
