'''Raja''' '''Surachandra Singh''' was a [[Manipuri King]] who ruled between 1886 and 1890.<ref>[http://www.worldstatesmen.org/India_princes_K-W.html Princely States of India]</ref> He became the Raja of [[Manipur]] in May, 1886 after his father Raja [[Chandrakirti Singh]] died.<ref>[http://members.iinet.net.au/~royalty/ips/m/manipur.html Manipur Princely State - (11 gun salute)]</ref>

During his lifetime, Maharaja Chandrakirti intimated the Government of India that his eldest son Surchandra should be recognised by the British as his successor.

The [[British people|British]] political agent wanted that the guarantee regarding succession should be extended to the son of Surchandra also. But the Maharaja desired that after Surchandra, as was the tradition followed in Manipur, the brothers of Surchandra should be the king. The [[Government of India]] recognised Maharaja Surchandra as the Maharaja of [[Manipur]].

The public avowal made by the [[Government of India]] during his father's lifetime was made applicable in his case also. Under this commitment, the [[British Government]] was bound to punish anybody who tried to dethrone Maharaja Surchandra.

During the reign of Surchandra, there were three revolts; one by Borachaoba, the eldest son of [[Maharaja Nara Singh]] and two others by Wangkheirakpa and Jogendro Singh.
