Jhujhar Singh was a raja of the Orchha region in India during the 17th century AD. In 1626,{{sfnp|Michael|2009|p=728|ps=}} Jhujhar Singh succeeded his father, Vir Singh Deo, as ruler and determined not to remain a vassal of the Mughal Empire as his father had done. His attempt to assert independence from the reigning emperor, Shah Jahan, led to his downfall. The Mughal army, which was led by the teenager Aurangzeb, invaded his lands, conquered them in 1635 and forced Singh to retreat to Chauragarh, where he was killed by the Gondi people.{{sfnp|Mehta|2005|pp=105-106|ps=}} The events that followed the Mughal conquest were the first known example of the Muslim Aurangzeb's religious intolerance. Singh's female relatives were enslaved and two of his sons were forcibly converted to Islam; a third son, who refused to convert, was executed. The royal palace in the town of Orchha was converted into a mosque.{{sfnp|Mehta|2005|pp=105-106|ps=}} ReferencesCitationsBibliography{{refbegin}}
