Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir for 40 years.
Pratap Singh became Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir after the death of his father Maharaja Ranbir Singh. His reign lasted 40 years, during which he ruled as a British vassal under the Treaty of Amritsar.
The British suspended Pratap Singh's ruling powers due to allegations of misgovernment and corruption. A council of regency was appointed to administer the state, and he was restored only after agreeing to reforms.
Pratap Singh established Pratap Park in Srinagar, a public garden that became a landmark. The project reflected his interest in urban development and public works during his reign.
