George Thomas, nicknamed Jaharai Jung,Raja of Hansi and Jahazi Sahib,(c. 1756 in Roscrea, Tipperary, Ireland – 22 August 1802 in Berhampur, Bengal Presidency) was an Irish mercenary and later a Raja who was active in 18th-century India. From 1798 to 1801, he ruled a small kingdom in India, which he carved out of Hisar and Rohtak districts of Haryana. On the death of his patron Apa Khande Rao in 1797, Thomas declared independence from the Marathas. He quickly took possession of Rohtak and Hisar and made Hansi as his capital.Later that year his requests to the Chiefs of the Phulkian Misl for assistance against the Marathas were rejected.He thereafter launched a campaign against Jind whilst the Phulkian Chief's was in Lahore. Despite lifting his siege of Jind, Thomas successfully defeated Sikh forces during a night attack, forcing Jind to sue for peace.The peace only lasted until 1799, when Thomas launched further expeditions against neighbouring Jind and Kythal to help pay for the upkeep of his large army.In January 1800 he invaded Patiala and plundered the town. Thereafter he attacked Sirsa and expelled the Bhatti's.
During his short period of rule, he established a mint in Hansi and released rupees of his own kingdom. His area of control included area from Ghaggar river in the north to Beri in south and from Meham in the east to Bhadra in west. He rebuilt the Asigarh Fort at Hansi, which was in ruined state and built defensive walls and fortifications.He divided his area of control into 14 paraganas.
