'''Bhim Singh''' (10 March 1768 – 30 March 1828), was the 26th [[Maharana]] (r. 1778–1828) of the Mewar region and the 1st Maharana of the [[Princely state of Udaipur]]. He was a son of Maharana [[Ari Singh II]] and younger brother of Maharana [[Hamir Singh II]].{{cn|date=December 2017}}<br />
<br />
At ten years of age, Bhim Singh succeeded his brother, Hamir Singh II, who had died at 16 years of age from a wound when a rifle burst in his hand. Hamir Singh II had ruled an unstable state with an empty treasury under a regency by Maharaj Baghsingh and Arjunsingh. Bhim Singh inherited this unstable state, after its unpaid [[Maratha Empire|Maratha]] soldiers had looted [[Chittor]]. The soldiers' depredations continued and more territory was lost during Bhim Singh's rule.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=K0UnRk-rRa4C&pg=PA140 Bhawan Singh Rana, ''Maharana Pratap,'' Udaipur, Diamond Pocket Books (2004), pp. 139–140.] {{ISBN|81-288-0825-7}}</ref> Bhim Singh had a daughter [[Krishna Kumari (princess)|Krishna Kumari]],{{cn|date=December 2017}} who died by drinking poison, at the age of 16, to save his dynasty in 1810.{{cn|date=December 2017}}<br />

Bhim Singh was a weak ruler in a succession of ineffectual leaders. Mewar had once been considered the strongest [[Rajput]] state because of its lengthy resistance to the foreign emperors, but by 13 January 1818, Bhim Singh had to sign a treaty with the British, accepting their protection.<ref>''The Essential Guide,'' Art Institute of Chicago (2009), p. 14.</ref><ref>[https://books.google.co.jp/books?id=PDsHAAAAMAAJ&q=udaipur+subsidiary+alliance+1818&dq=udaipur+subsidiary+alliance+1818&hl=ja&sa=X&ved=0CDUQ6AEwAzgUahUKEwjrz77Bn4zIAhXHn5QKHQY7DcE Treaties, Engagements and Sanads of Indian States: A Contribution in Indian Jurisprudence], p. 59.</ref><ref>The Law of the Indian Constitution: Being a Legal Interpretation of the Government of India Act, 1935 (26 Geo.
