'''Jaidev Rai''' ({{lang-bn|জয়দেব রায়|Joydeb Ray}}) was the Governor of [[Moulvibazar District|Brahmachal]] under the [[Twipra Kingdom]].<ref name=back/><br />
<br />
==Life==<br />
Jaidev Rai was a son of the minister of [[Moulvibazar District|Brahmachal]] - a kingdom in southern Sylhet ruled by Raja Upananda. The long-lasted conflict between northern [[Gour Kingdom]] and southern Brahmachal, continued to trouble the land. Raja [[Govardhan of Gour]], wanted to infiltrate Brahmachal. The King was able to lure Upananda's general, [[Amar Singh (general)|Amar Singh]] and persuade the [[Kukis|Kuki Chiefs]], the border guards for the [[Tripura Kingdom]] just south of Brahmachal into raiding Raja Upananda's palace in the dead of the night. The plan was successful; the Kukis massacred most of the palace's inmates. A battle emerged leading to the death of Raja Upananda. General [[Amar Singh (general)|Amar Singh]] took control of Brahmachal for a short while before also being killed in the battle. The Kuki Chiefs eventually annexed Brahmachal (centred in modern-day Baramchal in [[Kulaura]]) to the King of Tripura.<ref>{{cite book|title=Sileter Mati, Sileter Manush|year=1991|last=Rahman|first=Fazlur|publisher=MA Sattar|location=[[Sylhet District]]}}</ref><br />
<br />
With the death of Singh, Govardhan appointed Rai to be a feudal ruler under the Tripuras to which he accepted. [[Amar Singh (general)|Amar Singh]]'s wife, Chandra Kala, was left pregnant without her husband to look after her and her child, and was put in the care of Jaidev Rai.<ref name=back/><br />
<br />
Rai's office ended in 1260 with the ascension of Raja [[Gour Govinda]] to the throne. Govinda made peace with King [[Kingdom of Tripura|Ratan Manikya of Tripura]], by gifting him an elephant as a plea for the King to give Brahmachal (Southern Sylhet) back to him off Jaidev Rai, to which the King accepted.<ref name=back>{{cite book|first=Rajmohan|last=Nath|title=The back-ground of Assamese culture|pages=[https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.126984/page/n164 118]-119|url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.126984|year=1948|publisher=A.
