Flag of bharatpur
Thakur Brajraj, the founder of the Bharatpur State held Sinsini as a vassal of the Mughal Empire. He rebelled against the Emperor Aurangjeb and joined the Ram Dal. Beginning his predatory career with 200 followers, he soon gained proportions which enabled him to plunder the baggage of the Mughal army on its way to Dakhan and take possession of Au(1677) by expelling the imperial garrison. Sinsini was attacked and captured(1682) and Brajraj and his fourth son Bhao Singh were killed in the defence. Aniram,Rup Singh and Badan Singh, the sons of Bhao Singh, were given the jagir of Deeg and Raja Ram the nephew of Braj became the successor of Brajraj. Raja Ram recaptured Au and Sinsini(1683) . Raja Ram through his brilliance and expert military leadership was able to take control of Uchain, Nadbai, Helak, Sonkher-Sonkhri, Kathumbar, Bhusawar, Kaman and several other parganas. He defeated several Mughal commanders including Nawab Kahan I Jahan (Uncle of Aurangjeb), Prince Bidar Bhakt(grandson of Aurangjeb) and Shaista Khan(Subahdar of Agra province). Raja Ram met his end at the battlefield of Bijal(4th July 1688). Raja Ram was succeeded by his elder son Jorawar Singh . Jorawar Singh was captured by Mughal forces in the month January, 1690, after the Siege of Sinsini. He was executed in the most brutal fashion. Jorawar Singh was succeeded by his brother Fateh Singh. Fateh Singh was a leader of mediocre ability. Fateh abducted the throne in favour of his uncle Churaman(son of Braj Raj). Rao Churaman made Thun his capital, he recaptured Sinsini and several other parganas. He became the de facto ruler of the country between the city of Delhi and the river Chambal. He died in the year 1721,after swallowing a dose of poison. He was succeeded by his eldest son Mukham Singh. Raja Mukham Singh was very unpopular among the Sinsinwars, he was challenged by his causin Badan Singh of Deeg. Badan Singh made an alliance with the Mughal authority and was finally able to defeat Mukham Singh in 1721 (Siege of Thun) . He was crowned the next king and laid the foundation of the what would came to be known as the kingdom of Bharatpur.
Badan Singh was succeeded on the throne by his eldest son Sujan Singh who is most popularly known as Maharaja Surajmal. He was a man of extraordinary ability and under him the Sinsinwars saw their golden days. His kingdom included Eastern Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi and Western Uttar Pradesh. Suraj Mal was mortally wounded during a skirmish with the Mughal forces near Shahadara. He was succeeded by his son Jawahar Singh. Maharaja Jawahar Singh expanded the territory and captured territory as far as Kalpi in the east and Bhiwani in the west. He was assassination near Agra. He was shortly followed by Maharaja Ratan Singh who was then followed his minor son Maharaja Kehri Singh. A civil war took place for the regency of the minor king, taking advantage of which the Mughals and Maratha both invaded the Bharatpur kingdom and reduced it to it lowest. Kehri Singh died of an unknown disease and was followed by Ranjit Singh who was then the only surviving son of Maharaja Surajmal. Maharaja Ranjit Singh was able to take reconquer of some of the lands held by his father. In the year 1805, the Britishers under Lord Lake attacked Bharatpur, however they were defeated. A peace treaty was finally signed between the kingdom of Bharatpur and the Britishers after the war. Bharatpur became a princely state of the British Empire and the Sinsinwar Dynasty ruled over it till independence.
