Template:Infobox Royalty Raja Jhujhar Singh Ju Deo was a Bundela ruler of Orchha Kingdom in the 17th century, reining from 1627 to 1635 in the cultural Bundelkhand region of modern Madhya Pradesh.
Jhujhar Singh was the first-born son of Raja Vir Singh Deo and the senior of his three queens.[1] In 1626,[2] 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 Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan led to his downfall. The Mughal army, which was led by the teenager Prince Aurangzeb, conquered his kingdom in 1635 and forced him to retreat to Chauragarh.
Death
Jujhar Singh had written a letter to Kok Shah, the Gond king of Deogarh, to let him pass through his territory unharmed and was waiting for an answer at Chauragarh. He heard rumors that the king of Deogarh was dead and hence he travelled through his territory toward Golconda. However, he and his son were killed by Gonds in the Kingdom of Chanda. Due to Jujhar Singh's attempts at independence, Shah Jahan wrote a farman ordering Khan-i Dauran, Khan-i-Jahan Barha and Firoz Jung to kill Jujhar Singh. Khan-i-Jahan Barha played a crucial role in the suppression of his rebellion.<ref>Abha Singh (1990).
