Person
Narendra Shah
Narendra Shah was maharaja of Tehri Garhwal, a princely state in the Himalayas, from 1919 to 1946. He founded a new capital, Narendranagar, and introduced administrative reforms, but his government's forest policies provoked peasant protest, crushed with shooting at Tilari in 1930. He abdicated in favour of his son Manabendra Shah, who acceded to India in 1949.
