Jaswant Singh was the Rana of Alirajpur from 1818 until his death in 1862.

[1][2] His accession was opposed by Kesari Singh, a nephew of his father.

[3][4] British authorities, however, supported Jaswant's case.

[3][4] They appointed Musafir Makrani, who had been controlling the affairs of Alirajpur since 1817, as Manager of the State to manage state affairs until Jaswant came of age.

[3] The Government of India, after consulting the neighbouring chiefs, set aside the will and decided that Ganga Deo, his eldest son, would succeed him as Rana of Alirajpur and made suitable provisions for Rup Deo, his youngest son.
