			Pratap Singh Naruka was the son of Rao Muhabbat Singh of Macheri. He was born in 1740. When still young, he was sent to relieve the famous fort of [[Ranthambore Fort\|Ranthambor]] in 1759 which was besieged by the [[Maratha Empire\|Marathas]] under the leadership of Gangadhar Tautia. He showed great bravery and ability in the battle that ensued at Kakod (in present Tonk District of Rajasthan). The Marathas fled away.

	~~==History==~~		Once an astrologer at the Jaipur court predicted that the Rao would attain kingly dignity. Fearing his rise, court intrigues were hatched against him. A shot was also fired at him in 1765. Sensing a danger to his life, he left Jaipur immediately reached [[Rajgarh, Rajasthan\|Rajgarh]]. From Rajgarh, he went to [[Jawahar Singh]] of [[Bharatpur State\|Bharatpur]] who welcomed him and bestowed on him the jagir of Dehra village.In 1768, Jawahar Singh insulted the Jaipur Chief by marching without intimation of his motive, through his Stale, to visit the holy lake of [[Pushkar Lake\|Pushkar]] near [[Ajmer]]. On his return journey, he was attacked by the Rajputs of the State he had insulted and defeated at [[Battle of Maonda and Mandholi\|Maonda-Mandholi]] in the Tanwarati hills, 60 miles north of Jaipur. “The victory was, in a great measure, due to the transfer by Pratap Singh of his supporters to the side of his liegelord on the eve of the battle. He was moved to this either by the insult to his country, which a Rajput could ill bear, or by his desire to become reconciled with his own sovereign.” As a result of his loyalty, Pratap was restored to his fief of Macheri and was also allowed to build a fort at Rajgarh.
	~~Pratap Singh who~~ was ~~earlier~~ a [[~~jagirdar~~]] of ~~"Dhai Gaon" (two~~ and ~~half villages) near Machari in Alwar~~. ~~His successor "Bakhtawar~~ Singh ~~Kachwaha" was defeated when he ventured an armed incursion into neighbouring~~ [[~~Jaipur State~~]] ~~(ruled by their~~ [[~~Kachwaha~~]] ~~seniors~~, ~~erstwhile overlord~~ of ~~his predecessor)~~ and ~~consequent treaty mediated by~~ [[~~East India Company~~]] ~~prohibited him from political intercourse with other states without~~ the ~~consent~~ of ~~colonial British~~.~~<ref name="EB1911">{{EB1911\|inline=y\|wstitle=Alwar\|volume=1\|page=755}}</ref>~~ Pratap~~'s descendant and~~ the ~~last reigning ruler~~, ~~[[His Highness\|H~~.H.]] [[~~Maharaja]] [[Tej~~ Singh ~~Prabhakar Bahadur~~\|~~Sir Tej~~ Singh ~~Prabhakar Bahadur~~]], ~~signed~~ the ~~[[accession~~ to the ~~Indian Union]] on 7 April 1949~~.~~<ref name=prat1>[http://www~~.~~indianrajputs~~.~~com/view/alwar Rajput Provinces~~ of ~~India -~~ Alwar ~~(Princely~~ State)]~~</ref>~~
			[[Madho Singh I\|Madho Singh]] of Jaipur had died only four days after the battle of Maonda-Mandholi and Pratap Singh II, a minor succeeded him under guardianship of the mother of his younger brother. Pratap Singh gained great influence at the court through friends in the Council. At this time Najaf Khan, the imperial commander aided by Marathas, proceeded to expel Jats from Agra and then attacked Bharatpur. Pratap Singh aligned himself with Najaf Khan and aided him in defeating the Jats, "This timely succour and his subsequent aid in defeating the Jats, obtained for him the title of Rao Raja and a Sanad for Machheri, to hold direct of the crown.” Pratap Singh found an opportunity of reducing the fortress of Alwar which then belonged to the Jat princes of Bharatpur and seized it. He entered the fort of Alwar in November 1775.

			The followers of Pratap Singh began to own him as their feudal lord as soon as the Alwar fort was taken. Some of estates were escheated to the new State. Lands were also snatched from the possessions of Jats. He increased his wealth by relieving a rich man at Thanaghazi of some of his possessions and by plundering Baswa, a town belonging to [[Jaipur State]]. This act resulted in a raid by the Jaipur ruler in person, upon Rajgarh fort. The Maharaja failed to take the place and to defeat his former vassal, on account of the alliance he had formed with the Marathas.

			He died on September 26, 1791.
