Maharaja Sir Kishan Singh, KCSI (1899–1929) was a ruler of the princely state of Bharatpur. Singh was a supporter of the Arya Samaj and its Shuddhi movement, which aimed at reconverting individuals to Hinduism. With the backing of royal courts like his, the Hindu Mahasabha and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) gained prominence. V. D. Savarkar of the Mahasabha actively pursued a strategy of engaging with Hindu rulers. During his reign, Kishan Singh replaced Nastaliq with Nagari as the official script and prohibited the teaching of Urdu and Persian in state schools.
