Jaswant Singh was raja of Nabha, one of the Phulkian Sikh states of Punjab, from 1783 to 1840. In 1809 he placed Nabha under British protection with the other Cis-Sutlej states, keeping it safe from Ranjit Singh's expanding Sikh Empire. His successor was later deprived of part of his territory for siding with Lahore in the First Anglo-Sikh War.
