Raja Man Singh(Man Singh I) was the Kacchwaha raja of Amber. He ruled Amber from 1589 to 1614. He was a mansabdar and a trusted general of Akbar, who included him among the Navratnas, or the nine gems of the royal court. He fought many battles for Akbar, including the well known battle of Haldighati fought in 1576 between Maharana Pratap and Mughal Empire led by Kunwar Man Singh, among others.

Man Singh was born at Amber as the grandson of Akbar’s father-in-law, Bharmal. Later he was adopted son of Raja Bhagwant Das (adoptions within the clan being a common means to ensure succession among Rajputs).


[edit] Military Achievements
In 1585 CE, he was sent to Kabul to keep the country in order, and in 1588, was appointed Subahdar of Bihar. In 1590, Mansingh, hitherto known as Kunwar, was given the title of Raja and a mansab of five thousand. On 17 March 1594, he was appointed subahdar of Bengal and served for three terms: 1594 -1598,1601-1605 and 1605 -1606.

Later in 1577 he led Akbar's Gujrat expedition. In 1580-81 he led the army of Akbar to suppress revolt in North-Western provinces of India. Later from 1581 to 1587 Man Singh went to Afganistan won Kabul and defeated five major tribes of Afgans. To commerete this victory the flag of Amber was changed from "Katchnar" to "Pachranga". This flag continued till merger of Jaipur state into India.

From 1587 to 1594 Man Singh fought many battles in in Bengal Bihar, Orissa and Assam in the East of India. Thus Man Singh expended Mughal Empire from Afganistan in the West of India to Assam in the East. Kashmir was already won by his father Raja Bhagawant Das for Akbar. He went to southern most regions and won almost entire India, except the state of Mewar under Maharana Pratap.

Maharana Pratap adopted gurilla warfare after Haldighati and was able to recapture entire "Mewar" except the fort of Chittor. It is believed Man Singh allowed Maharana Pratap escape from Haldighati. Two moughal soldiers following the Maharana were killed by his step brother "Shakti Singh" who was also fighting against him and for Akbar in this battle. Akbar did not speak with Man Singh for many months after Haldighati. Perhaps he suspected Man Singh had secret understanding with Pratap and allowed him to escape. But Man Singh was a great warrior and could not be avoided. He lead another expedition of Akbar next year in Gujrat and won Gujrat for Akbar.

Man Singh and his father, Bhagwant Das are reputed to have brought the secret of artillery production to Amber from Kabul and Lahore where they remained as governor for four years after subduing Hakim (Akbar’s rebellious-brother, and governor of Kabul).He also led campaigns in Orissa and Bengal. As governor of Bengal, Man Singh made Rohtas (in Bihar) his headquarters; he rebuilt the fort and also built a palace there.

==Cultural Achievements]] Besides being a great warrier Man Singh was patron of arts culture and religion. He ordered the construction of a seven story temple of lord Krishna at Vrvandavan. He furtermore ordered construction and repairs to many more temples in Bengal and Bihar. He brought the famous idol of Shiladevi from Jaisor (now in Bangladesh) to Amber. He also brought idol of Hanuman and Sanga. They are still worshiped at Amber, Jaipur and Sanganer.

It is believed he used to attend the sermons of Tulsi Das (a famous poet who wrote Ramcharit Manas populary known as Tulsi Ramayana, Hanuman Chalisa, and many more).
