<P> In the later part of 18th century , the Ahom Kingdom in Assam was wreaked by series of rebellions . The Moamoria rebellion in Upper Assam and the Dundiya rebellion in Western Assam severely weakened the Ahom Kingdom due to loss of lives and property . The Prime Minister Purnananda Burhagohain tried his best to reestablish Ahom rule over the region . With great efforts , he finally suppressed all the rebellions , and firmly established the royal authority over the kingdom . For smooth functioning of administration or to consolidate his power , he appointed all his relatives in high posts of Ahom Kingdom . Badan Chandra Borphukan , the governor of Guwahati , was anxious of the growing power of Purnananda Burhagohain . At first , he tried to make friendship with Purnananda Burhagohain . He gave his daughter Pijou Gabhoru to Purnananda 's son , Urekhanath Dhekial Phukan along with a huge amount of gold ornaments and utensils as dowry . The move backfired when Purnananda Burhagohain expressed his displeasure and suspected Badan Chandra Borphukan of misusing his office . Angered by the behaviour of Purnananda Burhagohain , Badan Chandra Borphukan encouraged conspirators in the capital Jorhat with the aim to assassinate Purnananda Burhagohain . The conspiracy failed and the conspirators were punished . The alleged link of Badan Chandra Borphukan with the conspirators got revealed . Meanwhile the people of Western Assam , complained Burhagohain about the atrocities committed by Badan Chandra Borphukan and his two sons , Janmi and Piyoli . Finally in 1815 CE , Purnananda Burhagohain decided to act and he send a deputation with orders to arrest Badan Chandra Borphukan and bring him to the capital Jorhat for justice . Pijou Gabhoru , the daughter - in - law of Purnananda Burhagohain , who was also the daughter of Badan Chandra Borphukan , send an early message to her father , warning him of the impending danger . Warned by his daughter , Badan Chandra Borphukan escaped to Bengal , which was under British rule . Burhagohain 's men caught him at Chilmari in Bengal , but he again escaped with the help of local Thanedar or Police officer . He went to Calcutta and visited the Governor General Lord Hastings with the plea for help to oust Purnananda Burhagohain . The Governor - General declined his plea stating their Policy of Non-interference in the internal matter of another kingdom . Around that time , Badan Chandra Borphukan met the envoy of Burmese King Bodawpaya , who was on a visit at Calcutta . The envoy , after hearing his plea took him to Burma and fixed an appointment with Bodawpaya . </P>
