Contents

Reign

His father, Jaswant Singh, who died in 1862, had left behind a will according to which the state of Alirajpur was to be divided equally between him and his brother, Rup Deo. [1] To decide whether the will was to be acted upon, the Government of India consulted with neighboring Ruling Chiefs and decided that it should be set aside. [2] It was decided that Ganga Deo is the heir to the deceased and should succeed to the chiefship while suitable provision should be made for Rup Deo. [1] Accordingly, he was installed as the Rana of Alirajpur. [2] On his succession, the Government of India conferred upon him a dress of honor, and he presented them with a nazrana of 1,500 rupees. [3] [4]

Deposition

He was deposed for incompetency in 1869 and the state was placed under the superintendence of Muhammad Najab Khan. [5] [6] He was granted an allowance of 1,000 Rs. per month for his maintenance. [5]

Death

He died in March 1871. [4] Upon his death, his younger brother, Rup Deo, succeeded to his titles. [5]
