Biography of Raja Nahar Singh

Raja Nahar Singh was the king of the Tewatia dynasty and he was managing the princely state of Ballabhgarh. He was born on 6 April 1823 in Ballabhgarh Tehsil of Faridabad, India. Nahar Singh was very brave and clever from birth. When Raja Nahar Singh was 9 years old, his father died and the charge of the princely state fell on his shoulders.
After the death of his father, his uncle Naval Singh was looking after the state and was also teaching Nahar Singh how to manage the state. In 1839, Raja Nahar Singh was crowned and Nahar Singh took over the throne of the princely state of Ballabhgarh. Nahar Singh’s tenure was very good and he was a very powerful king.
The British had authority in most parts of the country and they were committing atrocities on the country and the people of the country. To stop these atrocities, some kings and revolutionaries opposed the British and started a movement against them. This movement was the first independence movement of the country and it was named the Revolution of 1857. Raja Nahar Singh ji also participated in the revolt of 1857 and fought against the British.
Raja Nahar Singh was a great king and ruler who fought for this country and sacrificed his life but the irony is that few people know such a brave king.

Fraud in the name of Treaty.
As soon as Raja Nahar Singh went to the place mentioned by the British for a treaty, he made Nahar Singh a prisoner by deceit. The British tempted him many times that if he wants to save himself, then he should become subordinate to him and give up. Raja Nahar Singh rejected all the proposals of the English officers and did not even worry about his life.
He was hanged in Delhi’s Chandni Chowk on 9 February 1958 for not accepting the proposal of the British and rejecting their submission. Raja Nahar Singh was accused of robbing the government treasury and sending an army to attack and all his property was confiscated.
