Rup Deo (or Roop Deo) was the Rana of Alirajpur from 1871 until his death in 1881.
When his father, Jaswant Singh, died in 1862, he left behind a will stating that the state of Alirajpur was to be divided equally between his sons, Ganga Deo and Rup Deo. [1] However, the will was not followed, and the Government of India decided that Ganga Deo should succeed to his father's titles, while suitable provisions would be made for Rup Deo. [1] Accordingly, arrangements were made. [1] When his eldest brother was deposed in 1869 and Alirajpur was placed under superintendence, he was given a role in the administration. [2] It was done to ensure he was properly trained for the duties that would devolve upon him when he succeeded his brother. [3]
Upon the death of Ganga Deo in 1871, he succeeded him as the Rana of Alirajpur. [2]
At the time of his succession, the Government of India decided to make no changes to the existing administration until Rup proved his ability to efficiently fulfill the responsibilities of governance. [4] In 1873, he was granted administrative powers with the condition that his continuation in power would rely on his effectiveness in managing the administration. [2]
He died without any issue in 1881. [5] His death led to a succession dispute in Alirajpur which was resolved when the Government of India selected Bijai Singh as his successor. [6] [7]
