He was the eldest son of the founder of Rana dynasty, Jung Bahadur Kunwar Rana. He claimed the Premiership of Kingdom of Nepal and the throne of Maharaja of Lamjung and Kaski against the traditional agnatic succession of the Rana dynasty. Driven by this motive, he attempted a coup against his uncles; Maharaja Prime Minister Ranodip Singh Kunwar and Commander-In-Chief Dhir Shamsher Kunwar Rana in the winter of 1881–1882. He was immediately thrown out of the roles of succession among Ranas. Later, he was pardoned and was impeased by Ranodip Singh as his successor after the death of Dhir Shamsher, which caused envy among his Shamsher cousins and ultimately led to his death in the 1885 Shamsher coup.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"1 March 1848","date":"1848-03-01"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q31764882#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Kathmandu","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3037","page":"https://diginpl.com/places/kathmandu"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q31764882#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"22 November 1885","date":"1885-11-22"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q31764882#P570"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Kingdom of Nepal","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1078602"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q31764882#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"},{"text":"military officer","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q189290"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q31764882#P106"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagat_Jung_Rana","https://ne.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%99%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%97_%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A3%E0%A4%BE","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q31764882"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Jagat Jung Rana born?","a":"Jagat Jung Rana was born on 1 March 1848 in Kathmandu."}],"related":[{"name":"Ram Chandra Mandal","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/ram-chandra-mandal"},{"name":"Upendra Mahato","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/upendra-mahato-q67912160"},{"name":"Onsari Gharti Magar","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/onsari-gharti-magar"},{"name":"Arjun Bahadur Thapa","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/arjun-bahadur-thapa"},{"name":"Chautariya Pushkar Shah","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/chautariya-pushkar-shah"},{"name":"Jigme Dorje Palbar Bista","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/jigme-dorje-palbar-bista"},{"name":"Kamal Thapa","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/kamal-thapa"},{"name":"Krishna Bahadur Mahara","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/krishna-bahadur-mahara"},{"name":"Prince Bahadur Shah of Nepal","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/prince-bahadur-shah-of-nepal"},{"name":"Pushpa Lal Shrestha","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/pushpa-lal-shrestha"},{"name":"Barsaman Pun","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/barsaman-pun"},{"name":"Bhumika Shrestha","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/bhumika-shrestha"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/jagat-jung-rana-c4f441c8b2.jpg","width":500,"height":610,"license":"No restrictions","credit":"BALLANTINE, Henry","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jagat_Jung_Rana.jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Jagat Jung Rana","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagat_Jung_Rana","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikipedia (Nepali): जगतजङ्ग राणा","url":"https://ne.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%99%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%97_%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A3%E0%A4%BE","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q31764882","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q31764882","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Jagat Jung Rana.jpg by BALLANTINE, Henry (No restrictions)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jagat_Jung_Rana.jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Jagat Jung Rana, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
