Sawai Pratap Singh Naruka
Maharaja of Alwar
Rao Raja Sawai Pratap Singh was the founding king of Alwar State. He belonged to the Naruka clan of Kachhwaha dynasty.
History
Pratap Singh who was earlier a jagirdar of "Dhai Gaon" (two and half villages) near Machari in Alwar. His successor "Bakhtawar Singh Kachwaha" was defeated when he ventured an armed incursion into neighbouring Jaipur State (ruled by their Kachwaha seniors, erstwhile overlord of his predecessor) and consequent treaty mediated by East India Company prohibited him from political intercourse with other states without the consent of colonial British. Pratap's descendant and the last reigning ruler, H.H. Maharaja Sir Tej Singh Prabhakar Bahadur, signed the accession to the Indian Union on 7 April 1949.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Sawai Pratap Singh Naruka” as maharaja of Alwar. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as maharaja of Alwar. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7238600. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1949.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
