==Political career==

Shivdeen was an enlightened student of the Agra College with a high level of education and great administrative capacity. From guardianship of the maharaja he rose gradually as civil judge, and Musahib or prime minister. His strict fidelity and uprightness earned him the implicit confidence of his master. He was so popular and amiable that throughout the long period during which he occupied the office not a single individual complained of having received a wrong at his hand. He guided the State through political warfare without significant incident.<ref name="auto"/> In 1844, Sawai Ram Singh II founded the [[Maharaja College, Jaipur]] with Shivdeen as its first principle. After Sawai Ram Singh II ascended to the throne in 1852, he appointed his guardian Shivdeen as Mohatmim Tehsil or Revenue commissioner. After a couple of years, Shivdeen was appointed as prime minister. He was succeeded by his son Vishambhar Deen.<ref>{{Cite book|author=Vibhuti Sachdev|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7F_MJcTjDOQC&dq=pandit+shiv+deen&pg=PA98|title=Building Jaipur| date=2002 | publisher=Reaktion Books | isbn=978-1-86189-137-2 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|author=Sanwat Raj Bhansali|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uGGbAAAAMAAJ&q=pandit+shiv+din|title=Legal system in India, Vol2| date=1992 | publisher=University Book House | isbn=978-81-85488-05-9 }}</ref><ref name="auto1"/>
