PREFACE
In this book an attempt has been made to present the general public in this country with succinct biographies of most, if not all, living per- sons who have had a direct connection with India either as officials or non-officials. In the majority of cases these biographies are based on materials very kindly furnished by the persons themselves : the rest are compiled from authoritative sources of information. The main object kept in view has been to produce a comprehensive work useful to busy people. Few care to wade through pages of writing to pick out the main incidents of a notable's life. The British " Who's Who " which has supplied the model to the Japanese " Who's Who ", and the American " Who's Who, " is an invaluable work, and covers a field as wide as the world itself. Its utiHty as a book of reference is beyond praise, while its general accuracy has been a matter for wonder with most people who have had occasion to use it. It has many Indian and Anglo-Indian names included in it, but in the nature of things it cannot be expected that it can deal with all personages whom India knows or delights to honour. It is the purpose of the book to fill in this gap. In its main design it follows that excellent book of reference, and it will be apparent to those glancing through its p'ages that it covers a wide ground. The name of almost every man and woman who has worked or is working for the good of India, in the moral or material, religious or political spheres has been, it is thought, included in it. Every endeavour has been made to include the names of all title-holders in India, but it is possible that owing to non-receipt of replies or from the paucity of information available, there are occasional omissions. In the next edition of the Dictionary, it is hoped to make good this short- coming. A work like this depends very largely for its accuracy and comprehensiveness on the help that the general public render its Editor. It is hoped that many more will respond in the years to come to the appeals for information sent to them. In order to facilitate the work of giving accurate addresses, a desideratum, in a reference book of this kind, those sending back proofs will help the Editor very much, in- deed, if they will add an address or check the one already inserted and supplement the same with the name of the club or clubs to which they may belong, so that correspondence may be easily directed to them.
PREFACE
Clubs in India arc very numerous and there are few who do not belong to one or other of these. To facilitate their work a list of clubs is included in the appendices printed at the end of this volume to which reference is solicited.
In the preparation of this boolv, histories of gazetted officers issued by the Government of India and the various local Governments and Administrations, and the Feudatory States of India, the India Office List, Debrett's Baronetage and Peerage, 1914; Dodd's Peerage, 1914; Who's Who, 1914 ; Sir Roper Lethbridge's The Golden Book of India ; Air. Buckland's Z)/c^/on«r;j7 of Indian Biography, Whittaker's Almanac, 1914, and many other official and non-official publications have been consulted and to publishers and authors of these the Editor would here express his great indebtedness.
It is inevitable that a work of this kind, passed through the press under difficulties and during intervals of time snatched from a busy working day, should contain some typographical errors. The errata issued will, it is hoped, tend to clear most of these. The Editor craves the indulgence of the public in this matter. Every practicable suggestion intended to improve the utility of the book will, the Editor wishes to add here, receive his best attention when the time comes to issue the next edition.
In conclusion the Editor would tender his thanks to the many gentle- men who have helped him in any way in bringing out tfte work. He would specially thank those who have readily responded to his call for information. Also, those who have ver}' considerately tendered sugges- tions to increase the utility of the book. He would also express his thanks to Messrs. K. V. Raja Rao and T. Raja Rao who have assisted him in the preparation of the volume and to Mr. L. Swami Rao, b.a., in reading the proofs.
The Editor.

About the year 1880, one Aman- ul-Mulk was the Chief of Chitral, having received a Subsidy from the British Government. He died in 1892 and his son Afzul-ul- Mulk succeeded hnn ; but believ- ing that the claims of one Nizam- ul-Mulk were being supported by the British, he ran away leaving the latter in undisputed possession of Chitral. Nizam-ul-Mulk's claim was recognised by the Government and a Resident was placed in Chitral. In 1895 however, Nizam-ul-Mulk was murdered and the fort of Chitral taken possession of by one Amir-ul-Mulk. This man was soon after ousted by his brother Shuja-ul-Mulk, who was recognised as a provisional Mehtar. Disturbances arose soon after in Chitral, the result of which was that Shuja-ul-Mulk was confirmed as Mehtar. Since then the princi- pality has been under the protec- tion of the British and has been enjoying peace. Address : Chitral, N.W.F. Province, India.

Formal Modes of Addressing Communications To Persons of Rank and Title

Address letters ' His Excellency (with name or distinctive title following), His Britannic Majesty's x\mbassador and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of — ' Begin : 'Sir,' * My Lord,' according as the ambassador possesses title or not. When personal reference is made, say 'Your Excellency.' An envoy extraordinary or charge d'aiifaires, though inferior to an ambassador strictly so called, also usually receives the title ' Excellency '; and the wives of ambassadors are generally addres- sed similarly during their husband's tenure of office and while residing abroad.
Archbishop. — Address : ' His Grace the Lord Archbishop of — .' Begin : ' My Lord i\rchbishop.' Eefer to as ' Your Grace.' The most formal method of addressing the Archbishop of Canterbury is as follows : ' The Most Eeverend Father in God, James (or whatever the Christian name is), by Divine Providence Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate of All England and Metro- politan.' The Archbishop of York is addressed as ' The Most Eev- erend Father in God, — ' by Divine Permission Lord Archbishop of York, Primate of England and Metropolitan.'

APPENDIX VII Terms Relating to Ranks and Titles
The following is a summary description, in alphabetical order, of the various ranks which confer titles upon individuals ; to- gether with a brief account of a few terms which frequently occur in the personal memoirs of each possessor of these digni- ties : —
ARCHBISHOPS. — The highest dignity in the Church is that of "metropolitan prelate" or archbishop. He exercises control over Bishops ; and the limit of his nrchiepiscopal jurisdiction is called " a province." But in addition to these functions, he has the actual care of a diocese, in w^iich he performs all the duties of a suffragan prelate, owing obedience, however, only to the Crown and the Parliament. The Archbishop of Canterbury can issue licences for marriages to be solemnized at any time or place ; and he has the power of granting degrees like those of a Univer- sity.
Baron. — -This though now the lowest rank in the peerage is the most ancient. It may be derived from a writ of summons or from letters patent. The former, if followed by an actual sitting in the House of Lords, constitutes a title heritable by heirs male and female of the body of the person summoned. The latter always prescribes the course of descent in express words. Both these kinds of Baronies are in existence ; but formerly another class drew their honours from the possession of certain lands. These " Baronies by tenure " are obsolete, though many heirs of such titles exist, possessing baronies by writ or patent.
Baronets. — This order of titled persons w^as founded in England by James I., 1611 ; in Ireland, to promote the planta- tion of Ulster, by the same King, 1619 ; and in Scotland, for the advancement of Nova Scotia, by Charles I., 1625. It owes its birth to the necessities of James, who sought to recruit his finances by the condition annexed to the title of paying into the exchequer about 1095/., being ostensibly three years' pay of thirty soldiers at 8fZ. a day per man. The institution of the oi'der in Scotland was connected with a scheme for colonizing Nova Scotia, and down to 1638 the patents contained a grant of
xlii
I
TERMS RELATING TO RANKS AND TITLES
lands in that colony, though it had before that date passed into- the possession of the French. The dignity in modern times has~ always been created by patent, in which the course of its descent is prescribed — usually to the heir male of the body of the first grantee. Many patents, previous to 1827, contained a clause, under which the eldest son of a Baronet may claim Knighthood on coming of age. The rank of Baronet is a " necessary " addi- tion to the name in all cases, and has to be written in full in official signatures. The abbreviation " Bt." (not " hart.") is per- missible in ordinary use.
Bishop. — Every Bishop must have been in priest's orders,, must be at least thirty years of age, must be born in lawful wed- lock, and must be recommended by the Crown to the dean and chapter by whom he is elected. Each new Bishop is ' conse- crated ; " but when a prelate is removed from one see to another the process is called " translation." The majority of the Bishops have no seats in the House of Lords, being Prelates of Scotland or Ireland, or Colonial or Missionary Bishops. Of the English and Welsh Prelates, the two Archbishops, the Bishops of London, Durham, and Winchester, and 21 of the remaining 30- Bishops, sit as spiritual peers, the eight junior Bishops being excluded. The Bishop of Sodor and Man has a seat )nit no vote..
Countess. — The wife of an Earl, or the female possessor of a peerage of that rank in her own right by descent or by creation..
Distinguished Service Order. — This Order was instituted by royal warrant, dated Gth September, 1880, for the purpose of adequately rewarding the distinguished services of commissioned officers of the Naval and military services who have been honourably mentioned in despatches. It is to consist of the- Sovereign and Companions.
Duke.— This, the highest rank in the British peerage, dates its origin from the 11th of Edward III., in which year that King created his eldest son a Duke : previously tlie Kings of England had themselves been styled "Dukes" of Normandy, and were- naturally restrained from conferring an equal titular designation upon any subject; but Edward 111. claimed to be " King of France," and he was tlie first to create an English Duke. This order of nobility disappeared wholly in 1572 l)y the extinction of the heirs of all upon whom it had been conferred, or In' tlie attainder of the remaining possessors of the title ; the first peer subsequently raised to this rank was Ludovic Stuart, Duke of

Eichmond, 17th May, 1623. There are at present only two ■dukedoms in Ireland, those of Leinster and Abercorn, besides the Eoyal Dukedom of Connaught.
Earl. — The title of Earl may be traced to the Saxon earldor- man, or the Danish jarl ; but its constitution as a dignity is, of course, subsequent in date to the Norman Conquest, when the designation comes. Count, or Earl, took a prominent place in the peerage. Till the reign of Henry III. this dignity, together with that of Baron, wholly constituted the nobility of the realm ; and previous to that period earldoms seem in several instances to have been enjoyed, like baronies, as a consequence of the tenure of certain lands. Originally the title was derived from the name of a county, the government of which was attached to the honour ; but in modern times the dignity and the duty have long been divided, and towns, villages, and country seats occa- sionally furnish the name of an Earl.
Imperial Service Order. — Instituted by King Edward on his Coronation, 1902, for members of the Civil Service of the Empire, to be conferred after Long and Meritorious Service.
Knight Bachelor. — This rank is far more ancient than any of the fraternities existing under the name of Orders. By the mere imposition of the Sovereign's sword on the shoulder, accom- panied with the words " Arise, Sir — ," its privileges are con- ferred ; and even the members of the Orders of Knighthood must all now receive this accolade before they can assume the designa- tion of " Sir." When residence abroad prevents the personal reception of this honour, it has of late become the practice to issue letters patent granting the " style, title, and dignity of a knight " to the favoured individual. The prefix of " Sir " is ex- clusively English as appertaining to Knighthood, and is not necessarily borne by any Foreign knight. In Ireland the Lord- Lieutenant can confer the honour of Knighthood. The origin of the designation Knight Bachelor is plausibly derived by some authors from the words has chevalier, indicating the superiority of the class of Knights Banneret who were created under the royal standard displayed in open war.
Knights of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath. — The practice of creating Knights with various ceremonies, of which bathing was one, is undoubtedly a custom of considerable anti- quity ; but the institution which now bears the name cannot be traced as a State Order, regulated by statutes and ordinances,
xliv

beyond the year 172o. The close of the war led to a re-model- ling of its constitution in 1815, and the long continuance of peace produced an analogous result in 1H47. The new statutes published in the latter year introduced the means of extensively rewarding civil services, and, by abolishing a mass of al)surd or conflicting ordinances, reduced the whole to a consistent and' rational institution. It contains three classes, viz. Knights Grand Cross, Knights Commander, and Companions. The latter are not entitled to the prefix of " Sir," but the two former al- ways receive the accolade. These three classes are eacli sub- divided into three minor divisions, viz. Military, Civil and Honorary. Services in the navy or army are rewarded by the first of these minor divisions ; services in diplomacy, on tlie bench, in high otticial stations. Sec, are acknowledged by the second ; services rendered l)y foreign princes or officers are re- warded by the third.
Lords Spiritcjal.^ — The Bishops collectively in their legislative- capacities are called Lords Spiritual, as tlie other members of the House of Peers are called Lords Temporal.
Marquess. — This title was unknown in England till Richard H.. created a Marquess of Dublin. It is said to derive its origin from the word Marchio, Lord Marcher, whose duty it was to guard the Welsh and Scottish frontiers, whicli were called Marches. Till of late years it occurred very sparingly in the- lists of Peers and even at present it furnishes the smallest num- ber of any rank in the nobility.
Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George. — This Order was established by letters patent in 1818, and enlarged in 1832 and 1839 for the purpose of affording an appropriate medium by which marks of royal favour might be- conferred upon the natives of IMalta and the Ionian Islands, as well as upon Britisli sulijects whose services ma> lie connected with these dependencies of the Crown. It consists of tliree- classes — Knights Grand Cross, Kniglits Commander, and Com- panions (substituted for Cavalieri in 1851). In 1809 the Queen was pleased to sanction sucli a modification of the statutes of this order, and sucli an enlargement of its numbers as to render it available as a reward for distinguislied merit or service in anij of the colonial possessions of the Empire. In 1879 and 1887 this Order of Kniglithood was still furtlier enlarged and new statutes issued, and the numl)er of meml)ers is now uot to exceed 100 G.C.M.G., 300 K.C.M.G.. and 600 C.lNl.G., inclusive of tliose
xlv

assignable for foreign services, and honorary members, consisting of foreign princes, &c.
Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire. — This Order was instituted by the Queen on the 1st of January, 1878, to ■commemorate the event of the proclamation of Her Majesty's style and title of Empress of India in the Indian Dominions and for the reward of important and useful services rendered to the Indian Empire. It was enlarged in 188G again in 1887, on the occasion of the first Jubilee, and again in 1911, and now consists of the Sovereign, a Grand Master (Viceroy for the time being). Knights Grand Commanders (not exceeding 40), Knights Com- manders (not exceeding 120), and Companions (nominations not to exceed 40 in any successive year); persons who by their services, official or other, to the Empire in India, and such distinguished representatives of Eastern Potentates as His Majesty may think tit and eligible for appointment. The Councillors for and in the Indian Empire are ex-officio and for life Companions of the Order.
Most Exalted Order of the Star of India. — This Order was instituted by Queen Victoria in 18G1, and enlarged in 1866, 1876, 1897, 1902 and 1911 for the express purpose of rendering high honour to conspicuous loyalty and merit in the princes, chiefs and people of her Indian Empire. The Order consists of the Sovereign, a Grand Master (the Viceroy of India), forty-four Knights Grand Commanders ; one hundred Knights Commanders, and two hundred Companions, e.xclusive of extra and honorary members.
Most Illustrious Order of St. Patrick. — This fraternity of Knights was instituted in 1783 as a national Order for Ireland, corresponding to the Thistle in Scotland and the Garter in England. The Lord Lieutenant, Lords Deputy, or Lord Justices ■were appointed ex-officio Grand Masters, and the Order consists of twenty-two Knights, in addition to which all persons who have held the office of Lord-Lieutenant are authorized to retain the insignia of the Order after they have retired from the government of Ireland.
Most Noble Order of the Garter. — The year 1848 is that usually assigned as the date of the institution of this fraternity. Popular tradition attrilmtes its foundation to the accident of a lady's garter being picked up by Edward III. at a court festival, Avhen he checked the mirth of bystanders by the exclamation Honi soit qui mal y pense, and permanently converted a trivial
xlvi

accident into a source of honour and distinction V>y founding; a fraternity of Knights with that motto and the decoration of an •embroidered garter. It consists of tlie Sovereign, the Prince of Wales, twenty-five Knights Companions, and such lineal descend- ants of George II. as may be elected extra Knights.
Order of the Crown of India was instituted on 1st January 1878 to commemorate the assumption by Queen Victoria of the title of Empress of India. To consist of the Sovereign, Princesses of the Eoyal and Imperial House, the wives or other female re- latives of Indian princes, and of other Indian ladies the Sovereign may think fit ; and also of the wives or other female relatives of any of the persons who have held, now hold, or may hereafter hold the offices of Viceroy of India and Governor-General of India, Governor of Madras or Bombay, or of Principal Secretary of State for India. The decoration consists of a badge and the inscription V.R.I, on it.
Order op the Guelphs of Hanover. — This, though no longer a British fraternity, enjoyed that distinction for nearly a •quarter of a century, and Englishmen have more largely parti- cipated in its honours than the natives of Hanover. It was founded by George IV. in 1815, and consists of three classes — Knights Grand Cross, Knights Commander, Knights ; the latter, however, in this country, have no otlier attribute of Knighthood than the name, and correspond exactly to the Cavalieri or Com- panions of other Orders ; but in Hanover they enjoy several privileges.
The Order of the Hospital of St. John op Jerusalem, incorporated by Royal Charter, 1888, under the title of the " Grand Priory of the Order of the Hospital of St. Jolin of ■Jerusalem in England," is the Englisli Laiujiu: or brancli of the celebrated Order of the Knights of St. John, established at Je- rusalem at the time of the 1st Crusade and was founded at •Clerkenwell about 1100 A.D. It was suppressed by Elizal)cth, and not revived until after the dispersal of the Order on the capture of ^Nlalta by Buonaparte. Tlie liead of the fraternity is the Sovereign, and the various grades are a (irand Prior, a Sub- Prior, a titular Bailiff of Eagle, Honorary ]3ailitfs, Connnandors. Knights and Eadies of Justice, Knights and Ladies of Grace, Esquires, and Serving Brothers and Sisters. The Chancery of the Order is in the gateway of the original Priory in Clerkenwell, which is still standing.
.Nlvii

Order of Merit. — Instituted by King Edward on his Corona- tion, 1902, and consisting of one class of members, subjects of the Crown, who have rendered exceptionally meritorious service in the Navy and Army or towards the advancement of Art, Litera- ture and Science, the number not to exceed twenty-four.*
Privy Councillor. — The Privy Council includes the responsi- ble ministers of the Crown, a few of the judges, some diplomatists, and many peers and commoners distinguished in the public service. In number it is unlimited. Under its authority many acts are done, but the measures which pass under its name chiefly proceed from its own sub-committees — the Cabinet, the Judicial Committee, the Board of Trade, Sec. Privy Councillors enjoy the- title of Eight Honourable, and are ex-officio entitled to become magistrates in every county without being required to possess landed qualification. They also possess the privilege of the cntn'-e at drawing rooms, levees, state balls, &c.
KOYAL Victorian Order.— This was created in 1896, for bestowal by the Sovereign upon those subjects whose personal services it might be desired to recognize, and any foreign princes and persons upon whom the Sovereign may think fit to confer it. It consists of five classes, Knights Grand Cross, Knights Commander, Commanders, and members of the fourth and fifth classes, who take precedence as indicated on pages 36 and 37. The Royal Victorian Chain is decoration founded by King Edward VII. in 1902, to be bestowed on special occasions.
Viscount. — This is the most modern of all the ranks in the Peerage. It was introduced into England in 1440, and has always been conferred by letters patent. The word vice-comes had long been used to designate the sheriff of a county, and the French modification of that term, viscount, was adopted when a titular dignity was created, to which, however, no shadow of official trust was assigned. It has never been largely conferred,, and as a chief title does not at present constitute one-twentieth of the English peerage ; in Ireland, however, it bears a much larger proportion to the whole body, being about one-fifth.
• The recipients in 1902 were iate Earl Roberts, Visct. Wolseley, Visct. Kitchener, Lord Rayleigh, Lord Kelvin, Lord Lister, Hon. Sir Henry Keppel. Right Hon. John Morley, Right Hon. W. E. H. Lecky, Sir Edward Hobart Seymour, Sir William Huggins, and George Fredk- Watts. R. A.

INDIAN TITLES OF DISTINCTION AND HONOUR
Indian Titles of Distinction and Honour
The exact date of the institution of these titles is not known but in some cases they are hereditary, though they are purely personal. Since the Durbar of 1911, the holders of these dis- tinctions are allowed in all public functions to wear a badge corresponding to the distinction conferred on them. The fol- lowing is a list of Indian Titles now in general use : Maharaja ; Raja ; Sardar ; Sardar Bahadur ; Dewau Bahadur ; Rai Bahadur, Rao Bahadur ; Rai Sahib ; Rao Sahib ; Rani ; Jang ; Manne Sultan ; Mahamahopadhyaya ; Vaidyaratna ; Amir ; Sultan ; Nawab ; Shams-u-ulema ; Shaifa-ul-Mulk ; Khan-Bahadur ; Khan' Sahib.
