Common card · No. 343214

Field-Marshal His Highness Maharaja Sri Teen Chandra Shumsher Jung Bahadur Rana (8 July 1863 – 26 November 1929) was a Prime Minister of Nepal from the Rana dynasty. He served in this capacity from 27 June 1901 to his death in 1929 after he successfully deposed his liberal and reformist brother Dev Shamsher. Although generally perceived as despotic and conservative, he is credited with several reforms, including the abolition of slavery and establishing the Nepal–Britain Treaty of 1923, which recognised Nepal as an independent nation and an ally of Britain.
