The Kingdom of Jayantia was most ancient Kingdom of Assam and had been comprised both hill and plains. Original inhabitants of the Kingdom were Synteng. Prior to the British annexation, Jayantia Kingdom was protected state. But this soon changed and from 1830 the relationship between Jayantia and British became rather strained. They start the conflict for establishment of boundary. In 1832 two British subject were kidnapped but however they were able to escape. Again in the same year the Raja of Gobha seized four British subjects. Three persons were immolated at the Shrine of the Goddess Kali. On account of this heinous crime the British Government took up the punitive measure. Thus in 1835 AD the Jayantia Kingdom was annexed by the British Empire.
