Kunwar Pratap Singh was part of the celebrated Barhath Family of [[Shahpura State|Shahpura]] ([[Bhilwara district|Bhilwara]]) whose members were prominent revolutionary leaders in the freedom struggle against the British Raj. Thakur Krishna Singh Barhath, his sons [[Thakur Kesari Singh Barhath]] and [[Thakur Zorawar Singh Barhath]] and grandson Kunwar Pratap Singh Barhath (son of Thakur Kesari Singh) took an active part in the freedom struggle and devoted their lives and belongings for the cause of [[Indian independence movement|Indian Independence]].<ref name=":4">{{Cite book |last=Jhunjhunwala |first=Lakshiminiwas |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NmtsCwAAQBAJ |title=Panorama |date=2015-01-01 |publisher=Prabhat Prakashan |isbn=978-81-8430-312-4 |language=en |quote=Bhilwara is also proud to have produced a great martyr family of Barhaths.

Pratap and his uncle Zorawar Singh were entrusted by Rashbehari Bose with the job of throwing bombs on Lord Hardinge when he was entering Delhi in a big royal procession. Attractive prizes were announced for those who could give any clues about Zorawar and Pratap. They established contacts with the army camps to organise a revolution in the army. He along with Sachindranath Sanyal met the revolutionaries of U.P. and Punjab. While he was travelling in Rajasthan, the station master of Ashananda Railway Station betrayed him and he was arrested. He was prosecuted with five years' rigorous imprisonment. The Director of the CID Department, Sir Charles Cleveland came to Bareilly to meet Pratap. He wanted to get the details and whereabouts of his revolutionary colleagues. He tempted him by offering high position in the government, condoning the twenty years' rigorous imprisonment of his father Kesari Singh, withdrawing the warrant against his Uncle Zorawar Singh and returning all the forfeited properties of the family. Pratap did not budge an inch. Then he was told that his mother was weeping day and night for him. She would die in agony. The reply of Pratap will remain shining in the history of the revolutionary movement of India.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last1=Kaul |first1=Raj Kumar |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bxLXAAAAMAAJ |title=Social Awareness in Modern Indian Literature |last2=Jaidev |date=1993 |publisher=Indian Institute of Advanced Study |isbn=978-81-85952-01-7 |language=en |quote=A writer of Kesarisingh's stature, stamina, and candour appears but rarely in a nation.

== Early life ==
Kunwar Pratap Singh was born on 25 May 1893 (VS 1950 Jeshtha Shukla Navami) in [[Udaipur]] at Kaviraja Shyamaldas Haveli. He was born in the famed Barhath family of Shahpura in the [[Sauda (Charan clan)|Sauda]] lineage of [[Charan]]s. The Barhath family were affluent [[Aristocracy|aristocrats]] in [[Rajputana]] and [[jagir]]dars of Devpura (Shahpura State). At the time, Pratap's father, Thakur Kesari Singh Barhath was serving as Chief Counsellor to the [[Maharana]] of [[Udaipur State|Mewar]]. He was later invited by the Maharaja of [[Kota State|Kota]] in his court where he served as a member of the Council of Kota ruler. Hence, Pratap's childhood was spent in Kota. Thakur Kesari Singh Barhath is known as a great Indian revolutionary, who was a high priority of British CID (Crime Investigation Department) to be monitored at all times. His grandfather Thakur Krishna Singh Barhath was a bureaucrat in the princely states of Udaipur & Shahpura, and a great [[scholar]] and patriot. He was highly regarded in the royal courts of Rajputana and Central India. Many kings had honored him by granting jagirs. Thakur Kesari Singh encouraged Pratap Singh to 'sacrifice everything he had for the freedom of motherland'.<ref name=":6">{{Cite book |last=Hooja |first=Rima |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tosMAQAAMAAJ |title=A History of Rajasthan |date=2006 |publisher=Rupa & Company |isbn=978-81-291-0890-6 |language=en |quote=The networks and affiliations of the revolutionary movements, in particular, cut across the boundaries of British-administered and princes administered India.

Pratap Singh was born on 25 May 1893 in Kotah at Shahpur, where his father was a member of the Council of the ruler of that place. He received his school education in the DAV High School, Ajmer.

In his father Thakur Kesari Singh's view, English-medium colleges like [[Mayo College]] Ajmer, where the feudal and ruling class of Rajputana sent their children to study, were creating inferiority complex among the students. He wished to promote Nationalist Education in which the students learn about their history, culture of their nation. Pratap Singh was described as having a 'revolutionary bent of mind'. Therefore, he was sent at a young age to Arjunlal Sethi who ran 'Vardhman Pathshala' in [[Jaipur]] which secretly gave training in revolutionary activities and later Pratap Singh was introduced to Rash Bihari Bose. Thereafter, when this school was shifted to [[Indore]], Thakur Kesari Singh thought it best send Pratap Singh to [[Delhi]]. Although Thakur Kesari Singh was in a high position in the native states, he was also secretly connected to the Revolutionary party. Thus, he sent his younger brother Thakur Zoravar Singh Barahth, his son Pratap Singh Barahth and son-in-law Ishwar Dan Ashiya to Master Amirchand, another nationalist, in Delhi.<ref name=":7" /><ref name=":4" /><ref name=":6" /><ref name=":3" /><ref name=":10">{{Cite book |last=Mishra |first=Shri Vivek |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=T2NbEAAAQBAJ |title=Azadi @ 75 : Krantikariyon Ki Shauryagatha |date=2022-01-29 |publisher=Prabhat Prakashan |isbn=978-93-5521-184-2 |language=hi |quote=इन्होंने जयपुर में वर्धमान पाठशाला के नाम से एक विद्यालय की स्थापना की, जहाँ क्रांतिकारियों को प्रशिक्षण देना शुरू किया, जहाँ इनके प्रताप सिंह बारहट, मोतीचंद, ईश्वरदान, मानिकचंद, जयचंद प्रमुख शिष्य थे। प्रताप सिंह बारहठ, ईश्वर दान, छोटालाल व जोरावर सिंह बारहठ ने लॉर्ड हार्डिंग पर बम फेंका।}}</ref><ref name=":112" />

== Training ==

In Delhi, Master Amirchand had trained Pratap for revolutionary activities including changing disguise, collecting secret news from government offices, establishing contacts with [[soldier]]s and [[youth]], etc.

Master Amirchand was greatly impressed by Pratap Singh Barhath. This was the reason that he recommended to Rash Behari Bose to give the responsibility of revolutionary party in [[Rajasthan]] to Pratap Singh Barhath. When Master Amirchand introduced Bose to Pratap Singh, Ras Bihari Bose was pleased and said:<blockquote>"Thakur Kesari Singh Barhath is the only person in India who took a holy resolution to sacrifice himself, brother, son and Jamata(son-in-law) to cut off the chains of the motherland".</blockquote>

== Revolutionary Party ==

Master Amir Chand introduced Pratap Singh to Rash Bihari Bose as a highly trustworthy, capable, and brave person for the revolutionary cause. Bose inducted him to the Revolutionary Party and he became a prominent member & right-hand man of Bose. He took a leading part in revolutionary projects in Delhi, [[United Provinces (1937–1950)|United Provinces]], and Rajasthan. In Rajasthan, he took steps to inspire the soldiers in Ajmer and other British Army cantonments to lead them to rise up and revolt against the British.<ref name=":7" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=Chaudhry |first=K.

Pratap Singh was only twenty years old at that time. At such a young age, he became a universal leader of revolutionaries. Travelling around, he started preparing the soldiers and youth of Rajputana for the freedom struggle. Under his leadership, the revolutionary organization in Rajputana was consolidated & became powerful.

On 23 December 1912, Zorawar Singh and Pratap Singh went to the roof of the building of Marwari College in [[Chandni Chowk]], Delhi. They wore a disguise and went on the roof, where Zorawar Singh threw a bomb directed at Lord Hardinge. [[Charles Hardinge, 1st Baron Hardinge of Penshurst|Lord Harding]] was gravely injured but survived the attack while one of his guards died at the impact. After the bombing, both Zorawar Singh and his nephew Pratap Singh absconded from the place and remained hidden. The police made frantic efforts to catch the revolutionaries and even announced a reward of Rs. 1 Lakh for any clue.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":13">{{Cite book |last=Saxena |first=K.

== Escape from Delhi ==
Pratap Singh and Zoravar Singh had to escape Delhi and they came to the banks of [[Yamuna]]. They couldn't cross at the time since there was [[flood]]ing in the river. For seven hours, Pratap Singh sometimes swam, sometimes dived and sometimes hanged by the chains of the bridge. When it got dark enough, they swam across the river. Pratap Singh was very tired, when he reached the shore, and fell unconscious. Two [[police]] constables who saw him crossing became suspicious of him. Zoravar Singh slashed both of them with his sword and carried Pratap Singh on his back.<ref name=":3" />

When Zorawar Singh & Pratap Singh left from Delhi after throwing the bomb, they walked about forty miles in a day. A spy followed them from there. After a few days, when they were leaving the border of [[Banswara]], the spy alerted the Nakadar and told him to catch them. Zoravar Singh immediately razed that Nakadar with his [[sword]] and both of them fled from there.<ref name=":3" />

== Preparation for Armed Rebellion-Ghadar(1915) ==
Source:<ref name=":3" />

Pratap Singh secretly started working for the rebellion among the [[Rajput]] soldiers. He moved from place to place, sometimes in Rajputana, sometimes in [[Punjab]] and sometimes in Hyderabad(South India), he would go south and carry forward the work of revolution. Pratap Singh and his brother-in-law Ishwar Dan Asiya were arrested by the police in the Delhi conspiracy, but were left due to lack of evidence. On the other hand, his father Thakur Kesari Singh Barhath was tried in the [[Kota Murder Case]] and he was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1914. Meanwhile, his uncle Zoravar Singh was sentenced to death in the Arrah conspiracy, but he had escaped. The properties worth crores of Kesari Singh Barath and Joravar Singh was confiscated.

After the bombings in Delhi, Rash Bihari Bose had moved to [[Varanasi|Kashi]] and from there to [[Nabadwip|Navadvipa]]. Hiding from there, they were trying to successfully implement the plan of rebellion. Pratap Singh, despite strict presence of military & police, secretly reached Navadvipa to consult & formulate plans to carry forward the work of armed rebellion. [[World War I|First World War]] had begun, the revolutionaries in India gave shape to the plan of armed revolution in India after multiple secret consultations. It was decided that on 21 February 1915, an armed rebellion would be signalled from Benaras. During this time, the members of the team would contact the military cantonments and collect a large amount of guns and other armaments. Taking advice from Bose, Pratap moved from Navadweep ([[Bengal]]) to Rajasthan and started working according to the plan.<ref name=":14">{{Cite book |last=Majumdar |first=Ramesh Chandra |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=U1s_AAAAMAAJ |title=History of the Freedom Movement in India |date=1975 |publisher=Firma K.

== Conspiracy to assassinate Reginald Kradok ==
In 1914, after the arrests of prominent leaders like Thakur Kesari Singh Barhath (his father) & Rao Gopal Singh of Kharwa, the leadership fell onto Pratap Singh. Pratap Singh in collaboration with dissident soldiers of the [[British Indian Army]], conspired to murder Sir Reginald Kradok, Home Member of the British Government of India. His murder was supposed to be a signal to [[Meerut]] and other garrisons of the Indian Army, part of a grand Armed Rebellion against the British. Pratap Singh Barhath was entrusted with the assassination of Sir Reginald. Incidentally, Reginald Kradok didn't turn up on the day of the assassination, thus foiling the plan and saving his life.<ref name=":13" /><ref name=":4" /><ref name=":15">{{Cite book |last=Eshwar |first=L.

It so happened that the revolutionaries of the [[Ghadar Movement|Ghadar Party]] of Punjab received information that the British Government had come to know about their plan for Armed Rebellion, so they decided to change the date but this information could not reach Mr. [[Sachindra Nath Sanyal|Sanyal]] in time. As per the predetermined schedule, on 21 February 1915, Mr. Sanyal along with his associates reached the Parade Ground in Benaras, but the prepared police force present there surrounded them and started arresting them. A total of 25 arrests were made including Mr. Sanyal. Meanwhile, Rash Behari Bose feld to [[Japan]]. Sanyal was sentenced to life imprisonment in [[Cellular Jail|Kala Pani]]. 16 revolutionaries including Ranveer Singh and Gurcharan Kar were tried under the [[Defence of India Act 1915|Defense of India Act]]. This trial came to be known as Benaras Conspiracy Case.<ref name=":9" />

== Escape to Sindh ==

Soon, as the Benaras Conspiracy Case progressed, arrest warrants against Pratap Singh were issued. The police was after him, but he evaded them and continued to work secretly for the revolution. When his father [[Thakur Kesari Singh Barhath|Kesari Singh Barhath]] was imprisoned for life, Pratap Singh sent a message to him in jail & assured him that he should not worry, Pratap Singh is still alive. Pratap Singh was engaged in consolidating the revolutionary organization by travelling around in Rajasthan, remaining undetected by the police.

Pratap Singh escaped to [[Hyderabad, Sindh|Hyderabad]] ([[Sindh]]) where Pratap Singh disguised himself and worked as a compounder in a [[dispensary]]. In Sindh, he continued to instill in the youth the spirit of revolution and [[patriotism]]. On one hand, the police was looking for him, while on the other hand, his fellow revolutionaries also started searching for Pratap amongst his acquaintances and relatives. Eventually the revolutionaries were successful and Pratap's associates came to know that he was in Hyderabad (Sindh). But in order to mislead the police, they spread rumors of his presence in [[Hyderabad]] (South India). Hence, when police interrogated an Oswal family in Jaipur on the whereabouts of Pratap Singh, the family, due to harassment gave an address of Hyderabad, but of the Hyderabad in Deccan, leading police on a blind hunt to South India.

Whereas police went looking for him in Hyderabad (South), the Jaipur associates sent Pratap's accomplice [[Ram Narayan Chaudhary|Ram Narayan Choudhary]] in Hyderabad (Sindh) to warn Pratap. They wanted Pratap to reach [[Bikaner State|Bikaner]] and take leadership and organise the revolutionaries there. When Ram Narayan Choudhary arrived in Hyderabad, he heard of a young man preaching nationalism & patriotism to the youth & inciting them for revolution. Afterwards, it didn't take long for Chaudhary to find Pratap. Upon meeting Chaudhary & understanding his associates' intentions, Pratap Singh decided to shift his location back to Rajasthan.

== Betrayal & Arrest ==
He travelled back to Rajasthan and on his way back, decided to stop at Ashanada Station([[Jodhpur district|Jodhpur]]) and contact the station master, who was also a part of the group. But the station master had been caught by the police a few days back and had turned approver to save himself. This led to the arrest of Pratap Singh Barhath. He was tried for his connection in Benaras Conspiracy Case and sentenced to 5 years jail.<ref name=":13" /><ref name=":4" /><ref name=":7" /><ref name=":3" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=Purohit |first=Gobardhanlal |url=http://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.464286 |title=Swatantrata Sangram Ka Itihas}}</ref><ref name=":112" />

== Bareilly Central Jail-Imprisonment & Death ==
Source:<ref name=":3" />

Pratap Singh was held in [[Bareilly Central Jail]] where he was subjected to brutal torture to divulge the names & whereabouts of other revolutionary activists. The British authorities applied various tactics including physical and mental torture to weaken him.<ref name=":12" /><ref name=":7" /><ref name=":4" />

The Intelligence Department of the Government of India was very pleased at the imprisonment of Pratap Singh. They knew that Pratap Singh was the exclusive confidant of Rash Bihari Bose and Shachindra Sanyal, other leaders of the Revolutionary Party. They wanted to know who are the members in the revolutionary party, where they lived, and who threw the bomb on Lord Hardinge and what is the future plans of the revolutionary party. Pratap knew everything. He was only 22 years old at that time. The intelligence department believed that it would not be difficult to extract all the secrets from him.

The Director of the Crime Investigation Department, Sir Charles Cleveland came to Bareilly to meet Pratap. He wanted to get the information and whereabouts of his revolutionary colleagues. He tempted Pratap by offering a high position in the government, condoning the twenty years' rigorous imprisonment of his father [[Thakur Kesari Singh Barhath|Thakur Kesari Singh]] (then at [[Hazaribagh|Hazari Bagh jail]] in Bihar)(imprisoned in 1914), withdrawing the warrant against his uncle [[Thakur Zorawar Singh Barhath|Zorawar Singh]] and returning all the forfeited ancestral properties of the family. Pratap did not budge an inch and refused to betray the revolutionaries. Then they told him that his mother was weeping day and night for him. She would die in agony. Pratap replied:<ref name=":7" /><ref name=":4" /><ref name=":112" /><blockquote>”''I have given enough thought to your offer. I am unable to accept it. The reason is that at present it is only my mother who suffers, but if I were to betray the secrets to you, many more mothers would have to suffer. I cannot be the cause of the agony of so many mothers, for the sake of wiping out the tears of my mother alone!''”<ref name=":18" /></blockquote>This enraged the authorities. As a result, more [[torture]] came and Pratap Singh died on 7 May 1918 in the prime of his youth(he was 22 then).<ref name=":7" /><ref name=":6" /><ref name=":12" /><ref name=":112" />

=== Rash Bihari Bose ===
[[Rash Behari Bose|Rash Bihari Bose]], famed Indian nationalist leader writes about Pratap in 'How I went to Japan' :–<blockquote>“''At the time when we were in Navadweep (Bengal), many brothers used to come and go, among them I will talk about '''Pratap Singh'''. Pratap's father, uncle, grandfather have all sacrificed themselves for the country. I had a long association with Pratap. Taking the recommendation of Pandit Arjunlal Sethi, Pratap and his brother-in-law came to Master Amirchand ji (who was hanged in the bombing) in 1913 to serve the country along with the other two boys. On seeing me, Amirchand had said – Babuji! I bring you four big patriots here.''

''I had sent Awadh Bihari out for some work, when I saw Pratap there, I saw fire in his eyes. Pratap Singh was a lion by nature. When Pratap came to know about the reason for my going abroad to Japan, he cried. He was very sad that he would not be able to see me for a long time. That was my last meeting with Pratap. '''Pratap''' is no more in this world.''

Recalling the story of '''Pratap''' & his family, this thing automatically comes to my mind.''”

“''I have rarely seen a youth like '''Pratap''', near their valor, even the cruelty of God is bound to give up. Whether Pratap himself used to live in bliss or not, those who lived in his company always found happiness.''” </blockquote>
