Biography

Upon the death of his father, Samrath Singh, in 1754, he succeeded him as the Rao of Sikar.^[1] He was disliked by the people due to his ineffectiveness as a ruler.^[1]^[2] This allowed his uncles, Chand Singh and Budh Singh, to occupy Sikar in 1756 and depose him as its ruler.^[1] Later, Nahar Singh attempted to reclaim Sikar, but he was defeated by his uncles.^[1] A compromise was reached between him and his uncle, through which certain estates were granted in perpetuity to him and his brothers, thereby resolving the feud.^[1]^[2] He himself received Balaran for his maintenance.^[3]
