Biography

Harnam Singh was made a hereditary Raja by the British Government 1907 for public service, awarded a Knighthood, KCSI, gave administration of his Awadh properties for his lifetime, a move which was objected by Jagatjit Singh (his nephew) but in vain.

In 1875, he married Rani Priscilla Kaur Sahiba (née Priscilla Golaknath), and had nine children, seven sons and two daughters:

  1. Raja Ragubhir Singh, OBE (3 May 1876 – 17 November 1932)
  2. Kanwar Rajendra Singh (1877–1883)
  3. Raja Sir Maharaj Singh, CIE, CStJ (17 May 1878 – 6 June 1959), who had issue (see article)
  4. Lieutenant Colonel Dr. Kanwar Shamsher Singh, M.D., MRCS, LRCP (21 June 1879–?)
  5. Captain Dr. Kanwar Indrajit Singh, MC, M.D., MRCP (27 December 1883 – 23 November 1914) (KIA)
  6. Kanwar Sir Dalip Singh (2 June 1885 – 13 January 1971)
  7. Kanwar Jasbir Singh, CIE (16 June 1887 – 15 October 1942), who had issue including:
  8. Rajkumari Bibiji Amrit Kaur, DStJ (2 February 1889 – 9 February 1964)
  9. Bibi Raj Kaur (29 May 1882 – 29 May 1882)

Raja Harnam Singh held many dignities in his life. He was a member of the Legislative Council for the Punjab from 1900–1902, a Member of the Kapurthala Council of State and an honorary Fellow of Panjab University. He was appointed a CIE in 1885 and knighted with the KCIE in 1898. In 1907, Harnam Singh was given the personal title of Raja (roughly equivalent to the modern British life peerage) and was made a hereditary Raja in 1911, thus enabling him to found a separate branch of the Ahluwalia dynasty.

Harnam Singh died in 1930 at the age of 78, and was succeeded in his title by his eldest son, Raghubir Singh, who himself died two years later without issue. whereupon the title devolved upon his second surviving son, Raja Maharaj Singh. The line of Maharaj Singh maintains the title to this day.
