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. ==See also==
