Govinda Chandra Narayan

r. 1813–1830 · 19th century

Govinda Chandra Narayan was the last king of the Kachari kingdom in north-east India. Driven out by rivals and by the Burmese invasions of the early 1820s, he was restored under British protection after the First Anglo-Burmese War. His assassination in 1830, without an heir, led the East India Company to annex the plains of Cachar in 1832.
