<br />
'''Jhujhar Singh''' was a [[Raja]] of the [[Orchha State|Orchha region]] in India during the 17th century.<br />
<br />
Jhujhar Singh was the first-born son of [[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 the reigning emperor, [[Shah Jahan]], led to his downfall. The Mughal army, which was led by the teenager [[Aurangzeb]], invaded his lands, conquered them in 1635 and forced Singh to retreat to [[Gondwana, India|Chauragarh]].<br />
<br />
The events that followed the Mughal conquest were the known example of the Mughal religious intolerance. Singh's female relatives were enslaved and two of his sons were forcibly converted to Islam; a third son, who refused to convert, was executed. And his head was given as a gift to Shahjhan. The royal palace in the town of [[Orchha]] was converted into a [[mosque]].{{sfnp|Mehta|2005|pp=105-106|ps=}}<br />
