Ganga Deo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His father, Jaswant Singh, who died in 1862, had left behind a will according to which the state of Alirajpur was to be divided equally between him and his brother, Rup Deo.[1] To decide whether the will was to be acted upon, the Government of India consulted with neighboring Ruling Chiefs and decided that it should be set aside.[2] It was decided that Ganga Deo is the heir to the deceased and should succeed to the chiefship while suitable provision should be made for Rup Deo.[1] Accordingly, he was installed as the Rana of Alirajpur.[2] On his succession, the Government of India conferred upon him a dress of honor, and he presented them with a nazrana of 1,500 rupees.[3][4]
