Raja Ram (1670–1688) was a Jat leader who organised a rebellion against Aurangzeb. He was chieftain of Sinsini in what became the princely state of Bharatpur, India. Raja Ram was son of Bhajja Singh of Sinsini. Details about the early life of Raja Ram are not available. After the death of Gokula on 1 January 1670, Raja Ram kept alive the rebellion against the Mughals.
To avenge the death of Gokula, Raja Ram looted Akbar's tomb and dragged Akbar's bones and burned them.[1]
He was later sentenced to death by Aurangzeb.
