Biography

[edit]

He succeeded Aman Singh as the Raja of Sarila.[1] He was dispossessed of all his possessions by Ali Bahadur of Banda.[2] However, with the help of Raja Himmat Bahadur, he managed to retain a portion of his territories.[3] At the time of the British arrival in Bundelkhand, he possessed only a fortress and a village in Jalalpur, which yielded an annual revenue of 9,000 rupees.[4] The British government granted him a pension of 1,000 rupees per month until a suitable provision could be made for him.[1] He had put forward before the British government a claim over eleven villages that yielded revenue of 23,600 rupees, which they confirmed upon him in 1807 through a sanad.[3][4] The pension he was receiving for his maintenance was then stopped.[1] He was succeeded by his son Anirudh Singh.[2]
