Maha Martand Singh of Jammu & Kashmir:

A gentle and intelligent young prince, Martand Singh is a carbon copy of his grand father Maharaja Dr. Karan Singh with a suaveness that is a reminder of his maternal grand-father, the dynamic politician Madhav Rao Scindia, Maharaja of Gwalior. A graduate of the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, in Business Management and Sustainable Development, he has a tough family act to follow as he is the great grandson of Maharaja Hari Singh of Kashmir, grandson of Karan Singh who is a Rajya Sabha member and a senior member of the Indian National Congress Party, and son of Vikramaditya Singh who is actively involved in the politics of the state.

An agro entrepreneur, a philanthropist and an educationist, Chaitanya Raj is the son of Rajmata Raseshwari Singh and the late Maharaja Braj Raj Singh of Bhati.

Born and brought up in New Delhi and having graduated from SOAS University in U.K. he now resides in his palace amongst his people of Jaisalmer enjoying the goodwill and responsibility attached to the role.
