Thakur Jorawar Singh was a chieftain of Sinsini (Later Bharatpur Kingdom). Jorawar Singh was killed after the fall of Sinsini (1691).According to G C Dwivedi Choosing a successor capable of accomplishing the unfinished work of Raja Ram was not so easy. Thakur Brijraj Singh , Thakur Bhao Singh and Raja Ram’s associate Ram Chehra had perished. Thakur Fateh Singh the son of Raja Ram Jat does not appear to have been a promising youth. Amidst the circumstances, Raja Ram’s aged father, Faujdar Thakur Bhajja Singh of Sinsini assumed the leadership of the Jats, while Raja Ram’s other son, Jorawar Singh took up as his deputy . After the death of Raja Ram, his old father Faujdar Thakur Bhajja Singh of Sinsini assumed the leadership of the Jats. Bishan Singh Kachwaha, the new Raja of Amer (Jaipur), was appointed by the Emperor as faujdar of Mathura with a special charge to root out the Jats and take Sinsini as his own Jagir. He gave the Emperor a written undertaking to demolish the fort of Sinsini as he was burning to distinguish himself and win a high mansab like his father Ram Singh and grandfather Mirza Raja Jai Singh. Bidar Bakhat laid siege to Sinsini. But the campaign in the jungles of the Jat country severely taxed the invading army.
The Mughals before Sinsini had to undergo great hardship from scarcity of provisions and water, as the enemy by frequent attacks cut off the grain-convoys and watering parties. Incessant night- attacks kept the siege-camp in perpetual alarm. “The men were prostrated by hunger, and the animals perished in large numbers through weakness” But the besiegers held tenaciously on, and in four months carried their trenches to the gate of the fort, mounted guns on raised platforms, and laid mines. The jungle round the fort was cleared. One mine under the gate was fired, but the Jats having previously detected it and blocked its further side with stones, the charge was driven backwards, destroying many of the artillerymen and supervising officers of the Mughal army. A second mine was then laid and carried under the wall in month’s time. It was successfully fired (end of January, 1690), the wall was breached, the Jat defenders lining it were blown up, and the Mughals stormed the fort after three hours of stubborn opposition. The Jats disputed every inch of the ground and were dispersed only after losing 1500 of their men. On the imperial side 200 Mughals fell and more then 700 Rajputs were slain or wounded. The remnants of the garrison were captured along with Jorawar Singh and put to the sword, while others fled. . The Emperor learns of the fall of Sinsini on 15 February, 1690 from the letters of news writers. Jorawar Singh, his wife and children having been imprisoned were first taken to Mathura and finally presented to Aurangzeb in the Deccan. They were brutally slain and their limbs thrown to dogs. The fall of Sinsini fulfilled the cherished desire of both the Mughals and Bishan Singh. Among the notables Thakur Fateh Singh of Sinsini and Rao Churaman Singh Of Thun managed to escape. .The testimony of Kamwar Khan (Kamwar. II, 231) leads us to infer that Fateh Singh became the leader after the fall of Sinsini and the arrest of Jorawar Singh.
