Raja Narain Singh

Raja Narain Singh (also called Raja Narayan Singh) was a Kakan Rajput Zamindar of Seris and Kutumba in modern-day Aurangabad district of Bihar (then a part of Gaya district) in India. He was active during the late 18th century and was notable for rebelling against the British East India Company. He was one among many rebels in Bihar who rose against the East India Company during that same period.

He had been remiss in providing his revenue payments to the EIC and was therefore deposed and lost his lands. In response he had gathered a force of 1500 matchlockmen and joined with allies of Chait Singh including Bachu Singh and together they amassed a force of 15,000. He posted his men at the foot of the Argoor pass with the intention of intercepting the incoming British force. The British leader, Crawfurd found out about this and changed his route. He ended up virtually encircling Narain Singh's forces. Caught in a hopeless position, he somehow managed to escape to Patna where he surrendered before the revenue chief in March 1782.
