Source description:
Shahzada Bahadur Shahdeo Singh, the Taluqdar of Pandri Ganeshpur, Behta, and Gokalpur, who held an estate comprising a total of 18 villages and 3 pattis in Raebareli, Awadh, was a grandson of Sher-e-Punjab Maharaja Ranjit Singh through his son, Sher Singh.
When his uncle, Duleep Singh, was deposed by the British Crown and placed in Fategarh, Shahzada Bahadur accompanied him to that place at the age of five, and was placed in the care of Sardar Bur Singh of Mukerian.
In 1854, when his uncle was sent to England, he again accompanied him. He settled in Awadh in October 1861, where he lived until his death.
The British Government granted him a hereditary jagir and pension. The first of the above-mentioned taluqs originally formed part of the confiscated estate of Beni Madho Baksh Singh, the chieftain of Shankarpur.
A daughter of his, Harbans Kaur, married Maharaj Rana Nihal Singh of Dholpur and was the mother of two successive rulers of Dholpur, Ram Singh and Udai Bhan Singh.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
