Name & Foundation of Kapurthala
It is said that Kapurthala was founded in the 11th Century during the period of Mahmood Gaznvi. This town was established by Rana Kapoor of Rajput Gharana, of Jaisalmer. On his name, the place has got its name- Kapurthala.
Almost two centuries ago, When the notorious Ahmed Shah descended upon India for the fifth time in his rapacious career and defeated the Mahrattas from the Punjab. The Sikh community re-established and strengthened their position after about a generation of historical oblivion. When the Sikhs slew Zain Khan in December 1763, Sikh independence became an established fact. Ahmed Shah's subsequent raids of 1764 and 1767 achieved nothing against the Sikhs.
One of themost resplendent figure in Sikh history after the ten Gurus, barring the great Maharaja Ranjit Singh, was Sardar Jassa Singh Ahluwalia.

Sardar Jassa Singh Ahluwalia

The story of Kapurthala is inextricably inter-woven with the life and struggles of Jassa Singh.

It was Sardar Jassa Singh Ahluwalia(1718-1783) who evicted Ibrahim Khan, a usurper after the death of Mughal Governor Adina Beg, from Kapurthala. Jassa Singh selected Kapurthala as his capital.
He was successor of Nawab Kapur Singh, who was given the honour of Nawab by the Sikh Confederation in 1754 AD. He was a brave man and held at very high esteem by his people.

Nawab Kapur Singh

The word Ahluwalia comes from a name of Ahlu village that was raised by Sardar Sadhu Singh ( Sado) of Kapurthala and is now in Lahore district of Pakistan.
As Jassa Singh Ahluwalia had no issue, his second cousin S.Bhag Singh was made ruler. After his death in 1803 his son Fateh Singh became the ruler. He had close friendship with Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

1801 - 1837 Raja Fateh Singh Ahluwalia, Raja of Kapurthala. b. at Kapurthala Fort, 1784

Raja Fateh Singh

He was the first king of Punjab to enter into a treaty with the East India Company in 1806. On his death in 1836 his son Raja Nihal Singh became the king. S. Jassa Singh had acquired lands both to the North and South of Sutlej River. But the treaty of 1805 stipulated that the Sutlej should form the boundary between East India Company's territory and Raja Ranjit Singh's emergent kingdom. Raja Fateh Singh served as an able Lieutenant in Ranjit Singh's campaigns but because of some misunderstanding in 1825, he left the north of Sutlej and lived a lonely life thereafter. His successor Raja Nihal Singh who took the reign in 1836, also remained neutral but his soldiers inevitably backed Sikhs and as a result Southern portion of Kapurthala was annexed by the British. After that all the kings of Kapurthala tried to convert it into a model city-state rather than concentrating on the British-India war.

In 1852 S Nihal Singh died and his son Raja-i-Rajjan Raja Randhir Singh (above) took over. During the 1857 war of Independence he was awarded a title of Grand Commander of the order of the star of India (GCSI) by the British for his support. His son Maharaja Kharak Singh ruled the state from 1870 to 1877.

Maharaja Jagatjit Singh (1872-1948)

Maharaja Kharak Singh 's son Tikka Jagatjit Singh (1872-1948) became the ruler when he was barely five years old. During his minority the state was administered by an officer of Punjab Commission, assisted by a council composed of the Principal officials of the state. The Maharaja had the rare honour of occupying the Gaddi for 67 years and actually ruling the State for more than 55 years ( till 1948)

Life Sketch of Maharaja Jagatjit Singh

The young Maharaja was very carefully brought up and received liberal education under the guardianship of able and carefully selected tutors. At an early age he showed a singular linguistic aptitude and acquired an intimate knowledge of English and French, both of which he speaks most fluently besides learning Sanskrit, Hindi, Persian, Urdu and Gurmukhi. During his minority the State was administered by a succession of brilliant British Civilians, many of who became, in due course, Lieut-Governers. Among the most prominent of them were Sir Lepel Griffin, Sir Mackworth Colonel Massy. These superintendents who were ably assisted by a Council of trusted State officials introduced various useful reforms, which were conducive to the efficiency of the State administration and the general welfare of the people.
The Maharaja took great interest in raising buildings, which included the main Palace, The Royal Courts or Court of Justice, The Grand Moorish Mosque, The Gurudwara at Kapurthala and at Sultanpur Lodhi (Gurudwara Ber Sahib). The Maharaja assumed government office state at the eighteen years age on 24th November 1890. The Maharaja had the rare honour of occupying the Gaddi for 67 years and actually ruling the State for more than 55 years (till 1948).

He was one the most widely traveled king of his time. He had been to all over Europe, North, Central and South America, Egypt, China, Japan, Siam, Java and the Straits settlement.

The Maharaja had 13 guns Honours permanently and of 15 as a personal distinction. His title was 'His Highness Kings of Kings Brig. Maharaja Jagatjit Singh, G.C.S.I., G.C.I.E., G.B.E.' He represented India in the League of Nations in Geneva in 1926,1927 and 1929. He was also a member of plenary session of second round Table Conference in London in 1931. The Maharaja stood fifth in order of precedence among the ruling chiefs of Punjab. It is extremely rare if not altogether impossible to find an Indian Ruler occupying the Gaddi of his ancestors for a long period of sixty-seven years. Very few among the princely order of India had been favoured by fortune to actually rule their States for over fifty-four years like His Highness Maharaja Jagatjit Singh of Kapurthala.

Anyone who had the privilege of knowing His Highness intimately will recognize in him the most charming of hosts possessing a sense of quiet humour which rendered him inimitable as a raconteur. As a great traveler he had widened the circle of his friends and acquaintances in both the hemispheres, but it was as a great gentleman that he had, with his extraordinary savior-faire, won universal esteem.
Exactly at the age of eighteen on 24th November, 1890 His Highness assumed the government of his State, the formal ceremony of investiture being performed by Sir James Lyall, the then Lieutenant Governor of the Punjab. Scenes of befitting splendour, the whole state being enfete, marked the occasion.
The keynote of His Highness' policy had always been wholehearted and thorough co-operation with the British Government, practical sympathy and toleration with all classes of his subjects and a passion for progress in every branch of the administration. He had all along taken the keenest personal interest in the education of his subjects, and in matters relating to the health and sanitation of the towns in the State. It is entirely due to his initiative that Kapurthala has always been considered as one of the best-administered and progressive States in India. Modern Kapurthala is in fact the creation of His Highness' foresight, broad-mindedness and sagacity.
The successive Viceroys had suitably recognized his Highness's achievements as a progressive Ruler, and he has been the recipient of the highest titles and honours from His Majesty the King Emperor. King George V at te Delhi Coronation Durbar conferred the hereditary title of Maharaja and the G.C.S.I., upon him in 1911. To these were added the G.C.I.E., at the termination of the Great War and G.B.E., on the occasion of his Golden Jubilee in 1927.
In 1918 in recognition of War services his Salute was raised from eleven to thirteen guns permanently and to fifteen as a personal distinction. As a remitted altogether the annual tribute of Rs. 1,31,000, which formerly the State paid in lieu of Military, services. At the recommendation of Field Marshal Lord Birdwood, His Highness was made an Honorary Colonel of the 45th(Rattreys' Sikhs) in the Indian Army, and was promoted to be a Brigadier early in 1943.
As an earnest of the great popularity and the unique position, which he commands in foreign countries the French Republic, conferred upon him the Grand Cross of the Legion d'Honneur in 1924, and he had received the highest decorations from Italy, Spain and several other European, Asiatic and South American countries.
His Highness represented India on the League of Nations at Geneva in 1926,1927 and 1929 and was selected to be a member of the second plenary session of the Round Table Conference in London in 1931.

Maharaja Jagatjit Singh

His Highness had travelled far and wide over the four continents, and had been twice round the world. He had been all over Europe, North, Central and South America, Egypt, China, Japan, Siam, Java and the Straits Settlements. The first of his foreign visits was undertaken in 1893 when His Highness had the honour to being invited as a guest of Queen Victoria on the marriage of his Imperial Majesty King George V then Duke of York. The Maharaja took part in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebration when the queen herself with the K.C.S.I. in London invested him. During his various visits to England His Highness had always been cordially received by the British sovereigns, having stayed at the Windsor castle as a guest of Queen Victoria three times, and also at the Balmoral Castle in 1900 before Her Majesty Queen Mary favored the maharaja with particular kindness and consideration throughout their region and invited him several times to private luncheons at the Buckingham Palace. He enjoyed the unique privilege of being present at the historic peace conference at Versailles in 1919 after the last great war. These tours apart from broadening his own mental outlook had been of practical value to the state in enabling His Highness to infuse a progressive spirit into his administration.
Amongst the European Sovereigns with whom the Maharaja claimed the privilege of personal acquaintance might be mentioned Czar Nicholas of Russia; Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, Hungary; Emperor William 11 of Germany; King Humbert and king Victor Emanuel of Italy; King Leopold, King Albert and King Leopold 11 of Belgium; King Alfonso of Spain (a very intimate friend); King Gustav of Sweden and King Hakon of Norway. He had also known every president of the French Republic from M. Sadi Carnot in 1893 to the last president, M. Lebrun, and presidents Wilson and Roosevelt of the United States of America. During his three visits to Japan, he was first received by Emperor Mutsuhito and on two occasions by the present Emperor.
The impress of his charming personality and cultivated taste was apparent, particularly in the capital of the State, which had been embellished with handsome palaces and public buildings. In many ways Kapurthala had benefited from the Maharaja's application of ideas gained as a frequent and observant traveller.

Family of Maharaja Jagatjit Singh

Maharaja's Intimate Friends

Maharaja A Popular Host
During the exceptionally long period of 67 years that the Maharaja had been reigning, Kapurthala had been honoured from time to time by visits from members of the British Royal Family and others of exalted rank. His Royal Highness Prince Victor of Wales paid a visit to Kapurthala in 1890, when the Maharaja was a minor. The Marquis of Dufferin and Ava was the first Viceroy and Governor-General of India to visit Kapurthala in 1886, but from Lord Hardinge down to the Marquis of Linlithgow, His Highness had rejoiced to welcome every succeeding Viceroy, all of whom had gladly continued unbroken the chain of Vice regal visits.
The Maharaja was one of the twelve Ruling Princes of India whose State was visited by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales in the course of his Indian tour in 1921-22. At the State Banquet at Kapurthala the Heir to the British throne congratulated the Maharaja on the ready help afforded by the State in the last Great War.
Almost every important Ruling Prince of India had been received by His Highness in his capital and entertained lavishly. In many cases this hospitality had been extended to three generations of the same Ruling House who were all intimate friends of His Highness, to mention specially Their Highnesses the Maharajas of Kashmir and Patiala. His Highness had been cordially entertained in their States by the late Nizam and twice by His Exalted Highness the present Nizam and by the late Maharajas of Baroda, Mysore and Gwalior.
On the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of his reign in 1927 which was solemnized with great éclat, in addition to Their Excellencies the Viceroy, the Commander-in-Chief and the Governor of the Punjab, a galaxy of the most eminent Ruling Princes of India, over twelve in number, participated in the celebrations at Kapurthala. The world famous Monsieur Clemenceau "le tigre" visited Kapurthala after the Great War, and General Gaouraud, Military Governor of Paris, a veteran of undying fame came to Kapurthala in 1928. King George of Greece who was a personal friend of the Maharaja visited Kapurthala in 1935 and stayed for a few days.

Maharaja's War Services
The fidelity of Kapurthala to the British crown is well known. The present ruler has fully maintained the glorious traditions of his house in this respect. In 1878-79, on the out break of the Afghan war, the State troops, comprising 500 infantry, 100 cavalry, three guns and a hundred artillery, rendered active service on the Bannu frontier under General Watson. The detachment was highly spoken of by the British officers for its discipline and good conduct. In 1897 the Maharaja dispatched his imperial service regiment (which was formed in 1888) for active service in connection with the Tirah Campaign. The regiment received its baptism of fire and gave an excellent account of it.
A detachment of 36 rank and file lost its way at Kurman, in the Kurrum Valley and was ambushed by a relentless enemy, but this small force put up a gallant defense again superior odds and preferred heroic death to surrender. On this occasion the Government of India communicated their heart felt regrets and sympathies to his Highness, who raised near the regimental lines a permanent memorial to the heroism of this ill-fated but gallant little detachment.
At the outbreak of the Great War in 1914 His Highness was the first Prince who offered to place all his resources at the disposal of the British Government. The Kapurthala Imperial Service regiment was dispatched for active service in East Africa, where it remained for nearly four years and did excellent work. His Highness himself visited the battlefront in France in 1915 at the invitation of the late Earl of Birkenhead; His Highness took part at the official opening ceremony of India's memorial at Neuve Chapelle in France.
On the successful termination of the Great War the regiment saw active service in Seistan during the Afghan Campaign, and later on spent six months performing imperial duties in Mesopotamia.
In the Second World War His Highness placed his personal services and all the resources of His State the disposal of the King Emperor. The Kapurthala Battalion was the first among the Indian States to proceed on active service and took part in actual fighting at Singapore; where the Japanese along with troops of several other Indian states unfortunately captured it.
The state had done commendable work as regards recruitment, and had raised over 3,000 combatants for the Indian army and over 1,800 technical recruits since the outbreak of the war the state had contributed about Rs. 1,20,000 to the various war fund, while investments amounting to nearly Rs.21, 25,000 in the defense bonds, war loan, saving banks, etc. have been made. Special measures had been taken to render help to the families of soldiers on the front, and to safe guard their interests by promulgating special regulations. A special staff of Welfare Officers had been appointed to look after the dependents of absent soldiers and to render than every assistance.
The Maharaja had been favoured with high honours by the King Emperor, and was rich in the esteem and affection of a wide circle of friends in both the hemispheres. He was above all fortunate to had won and retained all along the profound loyalty and devotion of his subjects. He was venerated as the father of his people, which owes its present frame and prestige entirely to his personality and benevolent guidance.
Agriculture & Industry During Regime
To protect the economic interests of the agriculturists Co-operative Credit Societies numbering 280 were functioning successfully in the villages of the State in that time. During his period, An Agricultural Demonstration Farm had been setup, which supplied seeds of improved varieties to the Zemindars, and did propaganda work in favour of the scientific methods of cultivation. Work had also been done on village upliftment and improvement of animal husbandry during regime of Maharaja.
Particular attention had been devoted to promote Industrial development, and the State had industries like Sugar Mill at Phagwara & Hamira, a few miles from Kapurthala. Great industrial expansion had taken place in the State in those years, and a number of Chemical, Steel and Leather Factories had come into existence. One of the biggest Distilleries in India was setup at Hamira in 1944-45.
Architectural Monuments During Regime
The Maharaja Jagatjit Singh was completely captivated by France, the French Art, the Culture and the Style of LOUIS XIV. His Agrat Palace and gardens were modeled on Versailles. He hired a French architect M. Marcel and entitled the project, the 'Elysee Palace'. Because of exorbitant costs of the building, which started out with red sandstone, had to be finished off with pink plaster. It costed around Rs. 3,00,000 at that time. It was built in renaissance style with the sunken park in the front and has many similarities to that of Palace of Versailles. The construction of Palace took roughly eight years (1900-1908).
Expert European and Indian workmen carried out the interior decoration of the Palace, which is unique of its kind in India. The great Durbar Hall is one of the finest in India and is entirely in the Indian Style appropriate for the ceremonials, which were performed on important occasions. The 'Beaux Arts' so popular in 19th century has been performed at various roofs etc. the center section of Palace was remarkably like a pavilion-end and from Fontainebleau. The Masard roof (it a roof with double slope, the lower being steeper than the upper) with its 'Oeil-de-boeuf' windows were copied from te Paris Louvrs as were the coupled columns lining the blind arcade on the two wings. Lapis Lazuli painting depicting had been brought from Italy
Among other buildings in the State, the most notable are the Courts of Justice, the State Gurudwara, The Moorish Mosque and the magnificent Gurudwara Ber Sahib at Sultanpur. These Buildings are by common consent striking architectural embellishment of Kapurthala and monuments to the refined taste and culture of the Ruler.
Social Position During Regime
During the exceptionally long period of 54 years' reign it had been the Maharaja's earnest endeavour to so all he could for the advancement of his State and his people. Particular attention had been devoted to the beneficent departments of the State. The expenditure on Education, Medical and Public Works Departments had risen gradually and represents nearly 25 per cent of the gross income of the State proper. The State maintained more educational institutions and the percentage of boys of school going age attending these schools was higher than in the adjoining districts. The expenditure of education alone had risen from Rs.22, 000 in 1890 to over two lakhs per annum since the year 1925.
Hospitals and dispensaries were founded in all towns and important centers of the State with the object of affording medical relief within a radius of four miles. The state could boast of an efficient system of sanitation, sewerage and drainage at that time.
His Highness had wisely realized almost 25 years ago that the Indian States could not for long remain indifferent to the political forces working all round, and the rapidly changing conceptions of Indian society, and that it was necessary in their own interest to associate the people more intimately with the administration of the States.
Civil bodies composed of a majority of elected members were functioning in the municipal towns of the state, and were presided over by non-officials. A Rural board consisting entirely of elected agriculturists supervises village sanitation, village roads and controls measures of rural welfare. To afford relief to the destitute of the state and with a view to reduce professional beggary His highness has decided to establish a poor house at Kapurthala, where the poor and the needy will be comfortably lodged and properly looked after. The inmates will be trained in simple and useful handicrafts that will enable them to earn their livings when they leave the asylum.
