Birth

Jaswant Singh was born posthumously in 1818 to Pratap Singh I. [1] [2]

Reign

His accession was opposed by Kesari Singh, a nephew of his father. [3] [4] British authorities, however, supported Jaswant's case. [3] [4] They appointed Musafir Makrani, who had been controlling the affairs of Alirajpur since 1817, as Manager of the State to manage state affairs until Jaswant came of age. [2] [5]

Death and aftermath

He died on 17 March 1862. [6] He left behind a will by which the State was to be divided equally between his sons, Ganga Deo and Rup Deo. [3] The Government of India, after consulting the neighbouring chiefs, set aside the will and decided that Ganga Deo, his eldest son, would succeed him as Rana of Alirajpur and made suitable provisions for Rup Deo, his youngest son.
