History
His father's family is from Bilaspur State (founded about 880AD). About 200 years ago an ancestor from his father's side (the younger brother of Raja Udai Chand of Bilaspur) was exiled, and whose family ultimately found their way to serve as hereditary Prime Ministers of Bahawalpur (Pakistan). The present Raja's paternal grandfather, Dewan Tek Chand, broke that chain after he joined the Indian Civil Service(officially known as the Imperial Civil Service) in 1894 becoming the Deputy Commissioner and later Commissioner of Punjab Province (of undivided India). He was a member of the Imperial Legislative Council (1915-1916) and a Member of the Council of State (1923-1925). He was educated at the Christ Church College at Cambridge University and trained as a barrister in England thereafter. He was a member of the The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple, commonly known simply as Middle Temple, in London. The Raja's father, Major General Dewan Misri Chand (b.1907), served in the army being commissioned from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, in 1927. He saw active in the North West Frontier (Afghanistan). He was an avid flyer and took part in a number of air races like the King's Cup Air Race, the Viceroy's Cup Air Race and the Schlesinger African Air Race. In 1936, he became the very first native Indian to win the Viceroy's Cup Air Race. In 2009, the Indian Government issued postal stamps to honour Major General Misri Chand.
