'''Raja Jhujhar Singh Ju Deo''' was a [[Bundela]] ruler of [[Orchha State|Orchha Kingdom]] in the 17th century, reining from 1627 to 1635 in the cultural [[Bundelkhand]] region of modern [[Madhya Pradesh]].<br />
<br />
Jhujhar Singh was the first-born son of Raja [[Vir Singh Deo]] and the senior of his three queens.{{sfnp|Jain|2002|p=84|ps=}} In 1626,{{sfnp|Michael|2009|p=728|ps=}} he succeeded his father as ruler and determined not to remain a vassal of the [[Mughal Empire]] as his father had been. His attempt to assert independence from [[Mughal Emperor]] [[Shah Jahan]] led to his downfall. The Mughal army, which was led by the teenager [[Aurangzeb|Prince Aurangzeb]], conquered his kingdom in 1635 and forced him to retreat to [[Gondwana, India|Chauragarh]].<br />
<br />
==Death==<br />
Jujhar Singh had written a letter to Kok Shah, the [[Gonds of Deogarh|Gond king of Deogarh]], to let him pass through his territory unharmed and was waiting for an answer at [[Gondwana, India|Chauragarh]]. He heard rumors that the king of Deogarh was dead and hence he travelled through his territory toward [[Qutb Shahi dynasty|Golconda]]. However, he and his son were killed by Gonds in the [[Kingdom of Chanda]]. Due to Jujhar Singh's attempts at independence, Shah Jahan wrote a farman ordering [[Khwaja Sabir|Khan-i Dauran]], Khan-i-Jahan Barha and Firoz Jung to kill Jujhar Singh. Khan-i-Jahan Barha played a crucial role in the suppression of his rebellion.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/44148212?seq=1 |page=26 |title=Jujhar Singh's Rebellion : A Reappraisal |author=Abha Singh |date=1990 }}</ref> Their heads were cut by [[Khwaja Sabir|Khan-i-Dauran]] and sent to Firoz Jung to be presented to the [[Mughal emperor]] [[Shah Jahan]].<ref name="emperor">{{cite book |last1=Welch |first1=Stuart Cary |title=The Emperors' Album: Images of Mughal India |date=1987 |publisher=Metropolitan Museum of Art |isbn=978-0-87099-499-9 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FDIyr9LRJ0MC&amp;dq=Khwaja+Sabir&amp;pg=PA225 |language=en}}</ref><ref name= "taj">{{cite book |last1=al-Dīn (Akbarābādī.) |first1=Muḣammad Muʻīn |title=The History of the Taj and the Buildings in Its Vicinity |date=1905 |publisher=Moon Press |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vMxAAAAAYAAJ&amp;dq=Khwaja+Sabir&amp;pg=PA102 |language=en}}</ref> The Mughal army recovered treasures worth one crore which Jujhar Singh had hidden in various wells in Deogarh territory.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Sane |first1=Hemant |title=DEOGARH-NAGPUR GOND DYNASTY.docx |url=https://www.academia.edu/38055455 |archive-date=11 July 2023 |access-date=16 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230711021539/https://www.academia.edu/38055455 |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
