HH Swasti Shri Rajadhiraj Sir Nahar Singh Bahadur KCIE (7 November 1855 – 24 June 1932) was the ruler of Princely State of Shahpura in Rajputana from the year 1870 to 1932.[1]
He attended the Coronation of the King-Emperor Edward VII and Queen-Empress Alexandra at Westminster Abbey in London in 1902. He was granted a permanent salute of 9-guns in the year 1925.[citation needed]
He mortgaged the family jewels and private property to construct two massive irrigation tanks named Nahar Sagar and Umed Sagar to assist his drought-ridden subjects. He established a system of local government, with a large measure of representation, modeled on the London County Council. An energetic and modern ruler, he built schools, hospitals and roads, which transformed his little state out of all recognition.[citation needed]
He was the Chairman of Paropkarini Sabha 1893-1932, Member of Mahand Raj Sabha, All India Kshatriya Mahasabha - 1922.[2]
He received the imperial Prince of Wales's Medal (1876), Kaiser-i-Hind Medal (1877), Coronation Medal (1902), and the Delhi Durbar Medals of 1903 and 1911. He was created a Knight Commander of the Order of the Indian Empire(KCIE) in the 1903 Durbar Honours.[3][4]
He was one of the longest ruling monarchs in the 20th century.
