Hathi Singh Tomar (born April 6, 1680) was a Jat ruler of Saunkh Garh near Mathura, in present-day Uttar Pradesh, India, active in conflicts with Mughal forces during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He belonged to the Tomar dynasty, which claimed descent from the Pandavas of the Mahabharata through Maharaja Anangpal.

Biography

Hathi Singh was born on April 6, 1680 (Chaitra Shukla Ashtami, Vikram Samvat 1737), in Saunkh Garh to Sukhpal Singh, a Jat chieftain, and Rani Indrakaaur, sister of a fort commander near Agra. His lineage is traced to Anangpal, a Tomar ruler, through 22 generations. The Mathura region under his rule was divided into five areas: Ading, Sosa, Saunkh, Farah, and Govardhan. He constructed three fortified residences near Saunkh Garh, linked by tunnels, of which one wall remains. He is also noted for renaming Mohammadpur to Govardhan.

Military Engagements

Battle of Saunkh (1688–1689)

In September 1688, Mughal forces led by Vishan Singh of Amber besieged Saunkh Garh. Hathi Singh, then a young prince, fought with his father, Sukhpal Singh. The Mughals took the fort in January 1689 after four months, but Hathi Singh regained it later.

Raids on Rajorgarh and Baswa (1689)

In 1689, Hathi Singh led raids on Mughal outposts in Rajorgarh, Dausa, and Baswa, collecting tribute from the region.

Second Battle of Saunkh (1694)

In 1694, Hathi Singh defeated a Mughal force at Saunkh, capturing over 800 soldiers, followed by a victory celebration.

Mewat Campaign (1716)

In January 1716, Hathi Singh attacked Mewat with 4,000 Jat soldiers and 3,000 allies, capturing Tawadu and Khasera, and imprisoning the Mughal governor Saiyyad. He held Mewat for seven months until Mughal forces under Gairat Khan and Durga Das Rathore forced his retreat in July 1716.

Other Actions

In 1708, Hathi Singh targeted Afghan and Baloch communities in Mathura, establishing a post at Beri and collecting taxes from villages like Ahuapur and Ol.

Legacy

Hathi Singh is mentioned in regional texts as a significant Jat leader. Gokul Prasad Chaube, in Braj Vaibhav, titled him "Braj Kesari" (Lion of Braj). Poets Sudhan, in Sujan Charitra, and Iqbal Singh described his military actions and role in the Mathura region.

Genealogy

Hathi Singh’s lineage includes Jeetram Jat, an ancestor of Anangpal I, followed by generations such as Kiratpal and Sukhpal, leading to Hathi Singh through his father, Sukhpal Singh. His sons were Shyam Singh and Tofa Singh.
