Partab Singh of Kashmir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lieutenant-General Shriman Rajrajeshwar Maharajadhiraj Shri Sir Pratap Singh, Indar Mahindar Bahadur, Sipar-i-Sultanat, GCSI, GCIE, GBE, Kaiser-i-Hind, (18 July 1848- 23 September 1925) was the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir, and head of the Jamwal Rajput clan, under colonial British Indian Empire from 1885-1925.

Some elements in the British Empire made an attempt to implicate the Dogra Maharaja in a conspiracy case involving the Russian empire. At the end of it a ruling council was forced on Jammu and Kashmir, which included a British agent and the Maharaja's brother Amar Singh.

Amar Singh's son Hari Singh succeeded his uncle as the Maharaja in 1925.
