But remembering the fate of other Hindu princes when serving in the Mughal armies on distant campaigns, Ram Singh had evaded that order.
When Aurangzeb recognized Bishan Singh as Raja (30 April 1688), made him commander of 2500 cavalry, and gave him a cash advance for their maintenance, it seemed that the Amer royal family had come out of its dark days.
The restoration came with a harsh condition: Bishan Singh was commanded to uproot the Jat rebels in the Agra province or these grants would be revoked.
He did a good job on both tasks, although the campaign of Bidar Bakht in Sinsini was delayed owing to Jat opposition, but in the end, the imperial army triumphed.
Bishan Singh ruled over the areas of Mathura, Kama, Mahaban prangana up to the Doab's edge, and modern-day Bharatpur.
In Afghanistan, Bishan Singh served under Shah Alam who spent every winter in Peshawar and moved to Kabul for the summer.
The child Jai Singh II then came to the throne and raised his family and kingdom (known as Jaipur after him) to the first rank in Rajasthan after an eventful career of 44 years.
