The correct answer is: D. Death of Bhai Uday Singh without his successor.
The Rania principality was a princely state in the Indian subcontinent that existed from the 17th century to the 19th century. It was located in the present-day state of Rajasthan, India. The principality was founded by Bhai Uday Singh in the 17th century. Bhai Uday Singh was a Rajput warrior who fought against the Mughal Empire. He was successful in defeating the Mughals and establishing his own principality.
The Rania principality was ruled by a succession of rulers from the Uday Singh dynasty. The last ruler of the principality was Bhai Uday Singh’s grandson, Bhai Jaswant Singh. Bhai Jaswant Singh died in 1818 without a successor. This led to a power struggle within the principality. The British East India Company took advantage of this power struggle and annexed the Rania principality in 1820.
The annexation of the Rania principality was a major blow to the Rajputs. It marked the end of an independent Rajput state and the beginning of British rule in Rajasthan.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option A is incorrect because Nawab Jabit Khan was a Mughal general who fought against the Rania principality. He was not involved in the annexation of the principality by the British East India Company.
- Option B is incorrect because Rani Ram Kaur was the queen of the Rania principality. She was not involved in the annexation of the principality by the British East India Company.
- Option C is incorrect because Maya Daya Kaur was the queen mother of the Rania principality. She was not involved in the annexation of the principality by the British East India Company.
