The Kunwar Saheb belongs to the ruling family of the
Khairigarh Estate, which traces its descent from the Suryavanshi
Rajput Kings, who ruled over Ajodhia (Oudh) in ancient times, and
he is a near kinsman of the Rani Sahiba of Singhai.
The Kunwar Saheb was educated in Canning College, Lucknow,
where, as a student, he had a brilliant career.
After leaving College, he helped the Rani Sahiba of Singhai in
the administration of her estate. He was appointed an Honorary
Magistrate and exercised jurisdiction within the limits of the
Khairigarh Estate situated within the Police Circle of Neghasan,
Palia, and Dhauraha, and held his Court at Singhai. His services
were very much appreciated and highly spoken of from time to time
by Government officials.
Subsequently the Kunwar Saheb left the Khairigarh Estate to
take up the important post of Manager of the Balrampur Estate,
which he joined on the 10th October, 1919. Since he has held this
important position, he has effected considerable improvements in the
estate by his sagacious management and by the very keen interest
he takes in his duties.
Apart from his administrative capabilities, the Kunwar Saheb
is a well-known figure in the sporting world of the United Provinces,
specially in the direction of big game shooting, such as tiger, etc.
He is wonderfully smart in organizing big shoots, and his name has,
in fact,become synonymous with successful shooting trips. His presence
of mind at critical moments in tiger shooting has been the means
of saving many a life.
In every public movement launched to support a good cause, his
sympathies have been genuine and practical, and his generosity in
befriending the needy and the distressed is well known.
The Kunwar Saheb has a very wide circle of friends by whom
he is held in great esteem. He has travelled extensively in India
and has also been to Europe and has, consequently, acquired a good
knowledge of the world.
In social matters he holds the views of the enlightened section
