The territory consists of three isolated tracts, amid British districts. Total area, 1332 sq. m. Pop. (Igor), 282,003, showing a decrease of 1% in the decade. Estimated
gross
  revenue 109,000; there is no
tribute
 . Grain and
cotton
  are ex-ported, and there are manufactures of gold and silver ornaments, leather and Wooden wares and cloth. The
chief
 , whose title is raja, is a
Sikh
  of the Sidhu Jat clan and of the Phulkian family. The principality was founded in 1763, and the
chief
  was recognized by the Mogul emperor in 1768. The dynasty has always been famous for its loyalty to the British, especially during the Mutiny, which has been rewarded with accessions of territory. In 1857 the raja of.jind was actually the first man, European or native, who took the field against the mutineers; and his contingent collected supplies in advance for the British troops marching upon Delhi, besides rendering excellent service during the siege. Raja Ranbir Singh succeeded as a
minor
  in 1887, and was granted full powers in 1899. During the
Tirah
  expedition of 189798 the Jind imperial service infantry specially distinguished themselves. The town of Jind, the former
capital
 , has a station on the Southern Punjab railway, 8o m. N.W. of Delhi. Pop. (1901), 8047. The present
capital
  and residence of the raja since 1827 is Sangrur; pop. (19o1), 11,852.
