Farzand-i-Saadat-i-Nishan-i-Hazrat-i-Kaiser-i-Hind (lit. 'A son emblematical of the good auspices of Her Majesty the Empress of India') was a title in the Indian subcontinent.[1] It was used by the Raja of Faridkot.[1][2]
History[edit | edit source]
During the Second Anglo-Afghan War, Bikram Singh, the Raja of Faridkot, supported the British cause.[3][4] He aided the British by providing them a contingent of 250 horse and foot soldiers.[3][5] His troops were employed in the Kurram Valley.[5] In appreciation of this, the British Government conferred upon him this title on 1 January 1879 as a hereditary distinction.[3][6]
