Chapter 1 Rajasthan in 18th Century — OUR RAJASTHAN STD 8 — Question

Chandrakunwar Bai, the daughter of Maharana Amar Singh (A) of Udaipur was married to Sawai Jai Singh in 1708 AD on the condition that only the son was born to the princess of Mewar would sit on the throne of Jaipur. But after Sawai Jai Singh's death in 1743 AD, Sawai Jai Singh's eldest son Ishwar Singh ascended the throne. In response, the son of Mewar's princess Chandrakunwar Bai challenged Ishwar Singh with the help of his maternal uncle Maharana Jagatsingh (II). Madho Singh was also favored by the Maratha Sardar Malhar Rao Holkar. As a result, 'Rajmahal' and 'Bagru' war took place between the two. Ultimately, due to the notoriety of his commander Hargovind Natani, Ishwar Singh had to commit suicide and Madhosingh became the ruler of Jaipur with the help of Marathas.
