Takht Singh of Jodhpur

Takht Singh became Maharaja of Jodhpur after the death of his predecessor, Maharaja Man Singh. His accession was supported by the British, who sought a ruler favorable to their interests in the region.

Takht Singh signed a treaty with the British East India Company, aligning Jodhpur with British interests. He agreed to provide military support and accept British suzerainty in exchange for protection and recognition of his rule.

Takht Singh suppressed a rebellion by Thakurs (nobles) who opposed his rule and British influence. With British military assistance, he defeated the rebels and consolidated his authority, though the rebellion highlighted tensions within the state.
