Ram Dayal Singh

Raja Ram Dayal Singh was the Gurjar King of Landhaura. He was the son of Chaudhari Nahar Singh. In 1790, Sikhs under Rae Singh Jagdhari and Sher Singh Buriya wrested Manglaur, Jaurasi and Jwalapur from Gurjars of Landhaura and Landhaura became tributary of Sikhs. Later, in 1794, when Doab came under Maratha Governorship, he paid annual revenue to Gen. Perron and from 1803 onwards to British Raj.

History
After the death of the Nahar Sindh, his son Raja Ram Dayal Singh Gujjar, succeeded his father after his demise and became the King of Landhaura. This transition of power took place in a seamless manner, and Ram Dayal Singh proved himself to be a worthy successor to his father. Fast forward to 1804, a local rebellion, Azim-gardi, rocked the region. However, Ram Dayal Singh did not shy away from his responsibilities and stepped up to support the East India Company. His timely intervention helped to save their assets and employees, and he emerged as a hero in the eyes of many.

Unfortunately, after the death of Ram Dayal Singh in 1813, a succession dispute arose between his grandson Badan Singh and infant son Kushal Singh from Ram Dayal's wife, Dhan Kunwar. It was a tumultuous time for Landhaura as the dispute threatened to disrupt the peace and stability of the region. Thankfully, a settlement was eventually reached between the parties involved. It was agreed that Dhan Kunwar would pay a large sum of money and expensive goods to Badan Singh and keep Landhaura for her infant son, Kushal Singh. This helped to bring an end to the succession dispute and restored calm to the region. And the reign of Raja Ram Dayal Singh Gujjar was marked by significant events that have contributed to the region's rich history.
