Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PERTAB (or PARTAB) SINGH, SIR , maharaja of Idar (1844 ), native Indian soldier and statesman, belonging to the Rahtor Rajputs of the Jodha class, was born in 1844, being the son of Maharaja Takht Singh, ruler of Marwar (or Jodhpur). In 1878 and again in 1879 he was
chief
  minister of Jodhpur. In the following year he accompanied the British mission to Afghanistan, and on his return he carried out many judicious reforms and administered Jodhpur with remarkable success. He visited England to take
part
  in the celebration of the 1887
Jubilee
  of Queen Victoria's reign. He served on the staffs of Sir William Lockhart and General Elles in the
Tirah
  and Momand expeditions in 189798, was slightly wounded, was mentioned in despatches, and promoted to the rank of full colonel. He won the reputation of being one of the keenest sportsmen and the best riders that even Rajputana has produced. When it was decided to send a force from India to China in 'goo to relieve the foreign embassies besieged in Peking, Sir Pertab Singh at once offered the services of the Jodhpur Lancers, and himself accompanied them. His father rendered good services to the British government in the Mutiny, and Pertab Singh always cherished the memory of the
protection
  given to Jodhpur by the
East
  India Company in 1818. His services to the empire in India were universally recognized. From Queen Victoria he received the honour of
knighthood
  and the Bath and the
Star
  of India; from King
Edward
  VII. the distinction of " aide-de-camp "; and the university of
Cambridge
  gave him the degree of LL.D. From his own state of Jodhpur he obtained the title of Maharaja-Dhiraj. In 1901 he succeeded to the rulership of the state of Idar.
