Birth Jaswant Singh was born posthumously in 1818 to Pratap Singh I.

Reign His accession was opposed by Kesari Singh Sachan, a nephew of his father. British authorities, however, supported Jaswant's case.

Death and aftermath He died on 17 March 1862. He left behind a will by which the State was to be divided equally between his sons, Ganga Deo and Rup Deo. 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.
