Sadul Singh (administrator)

Sadul Singh was an Indian civil servant and administrator, primarily remembered for his role in the integration of princely states into the Dominion of India after India's independence in 1947. He served as the Regional Commissioner for Rajasthan and played a significant part in the consolidation of numerous small kingdoms and principalities into larger administrative units. He worked closely with Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and V.P. Menon in this complex and sensitive process, often negotiating with rulers and addressing concerns regarding their privy purses and political influence. His contributions were crucial in ensuring a relatively smooth transition and the establishment of a unified and stable Rajasthan. Detailed records of his specific roles and responsibilities can be found in archival materials related to the Ministry of States and historical accounts of the integration process.
