Zalim Singh II

Zalim Singh II was the Maharaj Rana of Jhalawar in the British Raj from 1875 until his deposition in 1896.

[1] When Maharaj Rana Prithvi Singh died on 29 August 1875,[1] the question of succession remained undecided for some time due to the rumored pregnancy of his widow; however, no child was born to her.

[2][3] On his coming of age in November 1883, he was invested with full administrative powers over his state on 21 February 1884.

[1] In September 1887, the Government of India withdrew his powers and restored the arrangements that were in force during his minority.

[3][5][7] He married twice: first, in 1886, to a sister of Maharaja Sir Sadul Singh of Kishangarh, and secondly, a few months later, to a daughter of the Thakur of Limri from the Gohil family in Kathiawar.
