Indrajit Singh (1840 – 14 December 1894) was Rana of Barwani from 15 August 1880 until his death in 1894.
Early life and family
Singh was born to Mohan Singh in 1840.[1][2] He married and had issue: two sons, Ranjit Singh and Dashrath Singh, and a daughter, Chandra Kanwar.[1]
Reign
Upon the death of his older brother Jaswant Singh on 15 August 1880, he succeeded him as the Rana of Barwani.[3][4] However, he was not invested with administrative powers, and the administration of the state was conducted in his stead by his diwan, Muhammad Najaf Khan.[3][5] In 1883, the pargana of Anjad was placed under his administration by the Government of India to test if he was a capable administrator or not, and when he successfully carried out the administration, it was recommended to the Government by the officials to invest him with full administrative powers.[3] Accordingly, in 1886, he was invested with full administrative powers, but on the condition that if he failed to conduct it appropriately, the former administrative state would be brought back.[3]
Death
He died on 14 December 1894, and was succeeded by Ranjit Singh to his title and rank.[6][7]
