PREFACE TO THE SECOND SUPPLEMENT.

The first supplement to the now famous ** Who's Who in
India" (published by the Newul Kishore Press, Lucknow, in
igii) appeared in June 19 12, and thanks to the patronage of
the Ruling Chiefs, title holders and the general public it met
with a reception which was perhaps more than it deserved.
Ever since then our friends and patrons had been persistently
requesting us to make the work up-to-date by bringing out
as soon as possible an additional supplement which might
contain the names of those who by virtue of their patriotic
and loyal services to the country and the Government, respec-
tively have received fresh honours or have otherwise distia-
guished themselves during the interval. This volume is the
result.

I must again tender my sincere and grateful thanks to those
who, at my request, assisted me in bringing out this work
as without their co-operation the task would have been well
nigh impossible. As one of the chief objects of the publi-
cation of " Who's Who in India" (with the two Supplementary
Volumes) is to dispel the wide-spread ignorance that prevails
in India as well as in other countries about the notable and
distinguished personages of the country I still rely upon my
counti-ymen to help me in the realisation of that object by
popularising the book as much as possible and if I succeed in
this object even partially, as I have no doubt to do through
the kindness of my numerous friends and patrons, I will con-
sider my labours not to have been in vain.

WHO'S WHO IN INDIA

SUPPLEMENT

BAm Bahadur Shah, Rai Bahadur, Kunwar — of the
Khairigarh estate in the District of Kheri, United Provinces,
born in Samvat 1925 (1868 A.D.), belongs to the ruling
family of the above estate which traces its descent from the
Suryavanshi Rajput Kings who ruled over Ajodhia (Oudh) in
ancient times. A detailed account of the family history will
be found on page 88, Part IV of the principal work under Rani
Surat Kumar of Singhai. Kunwar Bam Bahadur Shah received
his education in the Canning College, Lucknow where, as a
student, he had a bright career. After completing his education
he returned to his estate where he has been helping the Rani
in the administration ever since. He is also an Honorary
Magistrate exercising jurisdiction within the limits of the
Khairigarh estate situated within police circles Nighasan,
Palia and Dhaurahra and sitting at Singhai. His services
have been highly spoken of from time to time by Government
Officers. Apart from his administrative capabilities, the
Kunwar Sahib is a well-known figure in the sporting world
of the United Provinces especially in the direction of shooting
big game such as tiger, etc. He is wonderfully smart in
organizing big shoots and his name has become synonymous
with successful shooting trips. His presence of mind at
critical moments in tiger shooting has saved many a life.
In every public movement in support of a good cause his
sympathies have been genuine and practical. He has a very
wide circle of friends by whom he is held in great esteem. His
generosity in befriending the needy and the distressed is
well-known. On the occasion of the visit of His Royal
Highness Prince George of Wales (now King-Emperor) to
Lucknow, in 1906, he was introduced to the Royal personage

2 WHO'S WHO ]N INDIA

who presented him a medal as a mark of his pleasure and
good wishes. He has travelled extensively all over India and
has been to Europe also ; consequently his knowledge of the
world is very vast. In social matters, he holds the views of
the enlightened section of the people. Not only he holds
those views but translates them into practice whenever
occasion demands it. In recognition of his public services the
title of Rai Bahadur, as a personal distinction, was conferred
on him in December, 191 1, on the occasion of the Delhi
Durbar. Address : Singhai Estate, Kheri District, United

Raj Raghubar Singh, son of Raj Lalta Singh, is the
present Talukdar of Bhoor Estate in the Kheri District of Oudh
which is locally known as Jhandipurwa Estate from the place
of the Raj's residence. The family is a branch of the
Songarha Chowhan Rajputs so called because their remote
ancestors some time held the impregnable fort of Sohangarh
at Jalwar, a town in the Marwar territory. Since their migra-
tion in the Kheri District their tribal name has been known
as Jangra Chowhan. The first ancestor of this family who

4 WHO'S WHO IN INDIA

founded this Estate in the Kheri District was Akhairaj Singh,
who came here from Ajmer side, in the time of Emperor Jehangir.

Raj Raghubar Singh was born in 1876, and brought up
in the Rajput style at Jhandipurwa. After receiving his educa-
tion in Persian and Sanskrit in his own Estate he was sent to
Lakhimpur to join the Government High School there. But
family alTairs stood in his way inasmuch as a civil suit was
brought against his estate by Rani Parbati Kunwar, wife of
Raja De.bi Bakhsh Singh of Mallanpur Estate on the ground
that she was heir to her father Raj Milat Singh and was entitled
to succeed to his property, though evetually the case was
settled by the Privy Council in favour of Raj Raghubar
Singh. , ^

Raj Raghubar Singh is very highly connected. He him-
self is married in the family of Kachhwaha Sirdars of Tamra
which, in turn, is related by blood to the ruling family of Jaipur.

The Talukdar takes delight in all manly games and hunt-
ing pursuits, specially, tiger shooting. He recently opened an
Ayurvedic Dispensary at Jhandipurwa for the benefit of his
tenants and the public of the place. He takes interest in all
public movements of the district. The Government invested
him with the powers of an Honorary Magistrate in 1908.
His title of '' Raj " is recognised by the Government and he
has a seat in the Darbar. Address : Jhandipurwa. (Kheri
District), Oudh.

NiTTYANAND PRASAD SiNHA, Raja — born, August 7th, 1882,
and educated at the Queen's Collegiate School, Benares, suc-

grandson of the late Raja Shiva Prasad, C.S.I., upon whom the
hereditary title of Raja was conferred by the British Govern-
ment in 1887 for his excellent service to the British during the
Mutiny of 1857 and afterwards. The family traces its descent
from one Dhandal of the Pan war (Pramar Kshatriya) tribe in
Ranthambhaur (Jaipur territory) who embraced Jain religion as

he got a son through the blessings of a Jain pontiff (Sripujya)
Amardatt, twenty-sixth in descent from Dhandal, presented a
diamond to Shahjehan who conferred upon him the title of
Rai as a personal distinction and, bringing him to Delhi,
appointed him his mukim or jeweller. Rai Amardatt's son,
Rai Uday Chand, married the sister of Seth Manik Chand of
Murshidabad and when some members of the family were
killed in the Delhi massacre by Nadir Shah, the survivors went
to and settled at Murshidabad. Later on when some members
of the family were arrested by Nawab Kasim Ali Khan of
Murshidabad on account of their taking up the cause of the
British and joining Lord Clive, one, Raja Dalchand, managed
to escape and settled at Benares. Raja Nittyanand Prasad

6 WHO'S WHO IN INDIA

Rao Raghuraj Singh of Barauli, Rajgarhi, in the
Aligarh District ^ Vjiited Province s\ was born in 1873. The
family to which he belongs claims to have descended from Raja
Bharat of the Solar dynasty which reigned over Ajudhia in
ancient times. Raja Nityapal, a remote ancestor of the
family, left Ajudhia and took possession of Kathiawar in
Gujerat but Raja Sadasen had, after some time, to leave Kathia-
war and migrate to Benares where he founded a principality
of his own and he and his descendants ruled over the territory
for several centuries. They were called Katharya Rajputs as
they had come from Kathiawar. During the Mahomedan period
the family, owing to special deeds of loyalty, obtained from
the Kings several jagirs and other privileges some of which
are still enjoyed by the members. The village Madhkar
was granted to Rajas Bhawani Singh and Harhar Singh by
Shah Alam Ghazi. Raja Pirthi Singh, brother of Rao
Raghuraj Singh still lives at this village. Raja Partab Singh, a
near ancestor of the family, married the daughter of Raja Door
and populated the town of Barauli in Sam vat 1 122 (1065 A. D.)
when there were 1656 villages attached to it. The title of Rao
comes from the time of Raja Pirthi Raj and is prefixed to
the name of the eldest son. The title formed part of Rao
Rajghuraj Singh's name as a courtesy, vide local Government
order of 1908. In January, 19 13, this title was made hereditary.

SUPPLEMENT 7

Appaji Rao Sitole Anklekar, c.i.e., Lieut.-Col. Amir-ul-
umra Sardar. — The Sitoles claim descent from one of the
Sisodia Rajput families of Udaipur which settled in the then
province of Poona in the 15th century and enjoyed the position
of Deshmukh and Patil there. The father of the branch of this
family was Tammaji Sitole and his descendant, in the 6th
generation, was Kshetroji Rao Sitole who distinguished himself
on the field of battle in a manner that he. was awarded the
title of Sena Hardu Sahasri and the village of Padri in
\n2t.m jajir by Maharaja Sahu Chhatarpati of Satara in 171 1.
Later on, for similar services, the villages of Ankali Manjri
and Mez were granted. The family seat was removed to Ankali
although the heads remained in service at Poona. Appaji
Rao Sitole was born in 1874 and he received a good vernacular
education under the supervision of his father. He was married
to the youngest daughter of His Highness the late Maharaja
Jivaji Rao Scindia of Gwalior. Since his marriage he has
been assigned a perpetual annuity of a lac of rupees. He was

VI of the Principal work. Address : Raj Nandgaon State.

KusHAL Pal Singh, the Hon'ble Raja — m.a., l.l.b.,
L.L.D., PH. D. of Kotla, is the acknowledged head of the Jadav
Rajputs in the Province of Agra. He is descended from Bijai
Pal of the Karauli family. Raja Harkishan Das, the sixth in
descent from Raja Tulsi Das who received from the Emperor
Aurangzeb the title of Bahadur, acquired the villages of
Phariha and Kotla as well as a large tract of the neighbouring
country but most of this was lost again in 1784, when Har-
kishan Das's son was killed in a vain effort to resist the
advance of Scindia. Later on, Raja Ishwari Singh, the then
representative of the family, transferred his services to
Lord Lake who, as is well-known, retrieved the fortunes
of the British army and inflicted a crushing defeat on
jaswant Rao Holker. In October, 1804, Holker laid siege to
Delhi and on the approach of Lord Lake he crossed the
Jumna and determined to ravage the Doab with fire and
sw^ord. Lord Lake set out in hot pursuit and it was then that
Raja Ishwari Singh and his son Sumer Singh supplied Lord

> r

SUPPLEMENT 9

Lake with provisions and rendered him material assistance in
every other way. It was acknowledged by the General in com-
mand and by the Political Agent that the promptitude with
which the Kotia Raj supplied provisions to the division of the
army which surprised and cut up Holkar's force near Fategarh
mainly contributed to the success of that brilliant enterprise.
Lord Lake confirmed in perpetuity Raja Ishwari Singh in his
possession as a loyal adherent of the East India Company.
The Raja, however, failed to pay revenue and the villages were,
in 1810, included in the ist i m?'ari sanad grsmted to Hira Singh
of Awagarh. On the latter's death, in 1831, the property was
once more restored to the former proprietors and permanently
settled with Ishwari Singh's son, Sumer Singh. Raja Ishwari
Singh's grandson, Raja Chaturbhuj Singh, died in 1845 A.D.,
his widow succeeding to the Estate. This lady Zamindar
displayed great loyalty and devotion to the British Government
during the dark days of the Indian Mutiny and aided the local
officers with men and money besides furnishing supplies and
keeping the line of communication open, especially, in the
parganas of Ferozabad and Mustafabad. She died in 1889
leaving the Estate to her daughter Rani Jas Kumar. As the
latter had no child of her own she transferred the Estate to Raja
Kushal Pal Singh in May 1905, the latter having descended
from Raja Harkishan Das in the eldest male line. Raja
Kushal Pal Singh attended the Coronation Durbar at Delhi
as a Member of the Provincial Legislative Council and was
awarded the title of Raja on the occasion of the celebration
of- the birth-day of the King-Emperor in 19 12. He was
born on the 15th December, 1872. He received his education
at the Agra College where he had the good fortune of
being placed under very capable and experienced teachers.
He passed the B. A. degree examination of the Allahabad
University in 1892, the M. A. Examination of the Calcutta
University in 1893 ^^^ obtained the Bachelor of Laws degree
of the Allahabad University in 1897. While at College he
acquired an extensive acquaintance with the English literature

10 WHO^S WHO IN INDIA

and English and Indian history. He did not seriously take to
the profession of law for which he had qualified himself but
belonging to the leisured classes, as he did, he thought it more
becoming to devote his energies to public duties. He is a
trustee and a member of the Managing Committee of the Agra
College which has now been long under non- official management
with excellent results. He is the Vice-Chairman of the Agra
District Board and as his numerous questions and speeches in
the Council show, he has thoroughly mastered the details of the
work entrusted to the District Board in the province of Agra and
the financial and other questions connected therewith. As an
Honorary Magistrate, he has taken an active share in the
administration of the Criminal law in the district where he
lives. But his chief activities lie in the improvement of
agriculture and the condition of those engaged in it. He has
established two village banks, several model farms and is
the Honorary Secretary of the Agricultural Associations of
the Mainpuriand the Agra Districts. Two of the farms which
he has established are devoted, mainly, to the production of
wheat and cotton, a third is intended chiefly to show commercial
results, a fourth for the trial of new crops and a fifth in the Agra
District for experimental purposes. The Raja has some excel-
lent ideas on the subject of giving an agricultural education to
village boys which he has given expression to in the speeches
that he made in the Council from time to time. He thinks,
and rightly too, that a purely literary education is lost on
boys who, in their maturer years, would be engaged in
agricultural pursuits and he thinks that nature study and
the intelligent appreciation of village surroundings and know-
ledge of everything about them were a much better education
for these boys than that which is noVv actually imparted in the
village schools. The Raja has recently started an Agricultu-
ral School on these lines and the head of the Agricultural
Department in the United Provinces rightly remarks that
his department is keenly interested in the venture. Address :
Kotla, Agra District.

Hyderabad Deccan. He was born at Ajmere on the 19th
September, 1850, and is now 64 years of age. He belongs to
the Loonia family of Marwadis and is a Jain by religion.
He traces his descent as far back as 72 generations, his first
ancestor, Hathisa, being the Diwan of the Nawab of Multan
about 1154-55 A. D. Chandmulji, the father of Seth
Thanmulji rendered very valuable services to the British
Government, during the Mutiny of 1857-58 when, at great
personal risks, he used to import treasure from Ahmedabad
for disbursing the salaries of the British troops at Ajmere.
He had a great inclination towards religion and liberality
and his son has inherited these virtues from him. Seth
Thanmulji remained at Ajmere till 187 1 when he went
to the Kotah State and worked there under the Regent,
Nawab FaizuUa Khan, as the officer-in-charge of 36 depart-
ments {karkhanas). In 1875, he went to Hyderabad Deccan
and started business as a jeweller. As fortune favoured him
he added the business of a banker to his work and has steadily
prospered as a result of his perseverance and honesty and
also as a result of the fact that he is one of the very few
jewellers in Hyderabad who can accurately make out and
value jewellery. Continued prosperity has made Rai Bahadur
Seth Thanmulji the owner of not only a spacious house in the
Hyderabad Residency Bazars, but he has also acquired large
tracts of arable land in His Hignness the Nizam's Dominions,
the largest of such estates being at Masaipet, a station
on the Metre Gauge Section of the Nizam's Guaranteed State
Railways. The total acreage of his estate comes to about

scope to exhibit itself when he was appointed a member of

world and gave illustrated lectures on music before several
European, Japanese, Chinese, and American learned assem-

the subject was highly admired. In India also she gave, after

during Queen Victoria's reign and had a most cordial recep*
tion at court. The members of the Maharshi's family are all
distinguished. The eldest son Dwijendranath Tagore is a great
philosopher and the second son was the first Indian to enter
the Civil Service. The poet's cousins, Gogonendranath TagiDre
and Abanindra Nath Tngore, are great artists. One of the
Maharshi's daughters conducts the *' Bharti " magazine. The
purity and spirituality of the poet's father's life are well-known*
These tracts are to be found in Rabindranath Tagofe in per-
fection and have contributed to make his poems great morai
and spiritual forces besides being temples of beauty. His
love of meditation and the cloistral repose and seclusion of
his life have enabled him to perceive truths that are not visible
to the ordinary eyes. As a boy, Dr. Rabindranath did not like
school-life and early acquired the habit of self-education.
His earliest poems were written when he was very young but
they received little encouragement. He then went to
England to study Law but came back as he did not find the
study of Law congenial to him to any extent. Since then
he has written various poems that have made his name
universally known. He wrote exquisite love poetry in his
youth. He had a great sorrow in his 35th year and after
that his art grew deeper and became religious and philosophical.
His patriotism and the practical bent of his genius are
clear from his conducting a large school at Bolepur where
the pupils, about 200 in number, are instructed in the open
air. His recent translations of his poems into exquisite
English prose have won for him a European reputation and in
19 1 3, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature which Is
awarded for *' the most distinguished work of an idealistic
tendency in the field of literature," and every reader ot
Tagore's poems can well realise how worthy he is of the great
honor thus conferred on him. With characteristic patriotism he
has devoted the entire prize amount of £S,ooo to the Bolepur
School. The degree of Doctor of Literature was conferred on
him by the Calcutta University in December, tgt^. The worki

S2 WHO'S WHO IN INDIA

now published in English by him are Gitanjali, the Gardener,
the Crescent Moo7i, and the Autography of Maharshi Deven-
dranath Tagore. Dr. Rabindranath is of a profoundly.religious
temperament. He is very fond of singing which is his chief re-
creation though he finds great delight in swimming and rowing
also. He is a poet of the people; all his heroes and heroines are
drawn from the ordinary people and their simple joys and
sorrows are rendered for us in musical language with extra-
ordinary insight and depth of emotion. His works again
thrill with burning patriotism. Tagore^s Bengali style is admit-
ted by all to be unique, full of subtlety of rythm, of untranslate-
able delicacies of color, of metrical inventions. Another
characteristic of his writings is the mystic element that runs
through them — mysticism not in the sense in which Dr. Max
Nordau took it but that of a higher type that has always been
recognised as a golden gateway leading to the innermost
shrine of truth.

MOTI Lal Ghose, Babu—the Editor and Proprietor of
the " Amrita Bazar Patrika," one of the most influential
Indian papers in India, was born in 1847 ^" ^^^ village of Amrita
Bazar near Jessore. He and his illustrious brother, the late
Babu Shishir Kumar Ghose, published their paper at first in
their native village in 1869 as a weekly. It had hardly been
in existence for 5 months, however, when an action for
criminal lib^l was brought by an English Deputy Magistrate
in consequence of some sharp criticism of him in its columns.
The brothers, though they came out victorious after a lengthy
litigation were, however, left almost penniless. In February,
1872, they brought out their first issue of the ''Amrita Bazar
Patrika" as a metropolitan journal from Calcutta both in English
and Vernacular and very soon took the front rank in Indian
journalism. It, however, incurred again the serious displeasure
of the Government for its unsparing criticism and the result
was Lord Lytton's Vernacular Press Act, but it escaped from
its grip by a very remarkable feat of journalism which created

a great sensation at the time. Immediately after the passing
of the Act the brothers Ghose, in a single day, with the help
of borrowed type, made their paper wholly English and there-
by placed it beyond the jurisdiction of the Act. Since the
retirement of Babu Shishir Kumar from public life in 1888,
Babu Moti Lai has been editing the ''"Amrita Bazar Patrika "
which became a daily in 1890. Babu Moti Lai Ghose is a grand
personality in India. As a rule he works from behind and rarely
comes to the front, yet his 'paper is one of the most potent
factors in Indian Society and Politics. Originality, humour,
vigor and perspecuity characterise most of his public
writings and speeches and there are few Indian public men
who are so well informed about the affairs of the country as he.
Among the officials he is known as an honest and sincere
man but an uncompromising critic of the Government. All
the same, he has access to the highest authorities from the
Viceroy downwards. Lord Curzon' valued his opinion though
the Patrika attacked his policy vigorously. Lord Minto was
so impressed with his genuine patriotism that he had agreed to
forward his scheme for the reversal of the partition of Bengal
which was based on the Sindh system. Of the two Bengali
gentlemen whom Lord Hardinge consulted when releasing the
accused in the Khulna dacoity case which evoked bitter
criticism from the Anglo-Indian Press, Babu Moti Lai was
one and Mr. S. P. Sinha the other. It was at the instance of
Babu Moti Lai that Lord Carmichael, Governor of Bengal,
was pleased to take up the sanitary and rural water supply
question in that Presidency in right earnest and acknowledged
this fact publicly at the Rural Water Supply Conference held
at Darjeeling in October, 191 2. When the present King-
Emperor visited this country in 1906 as Prince of Wales
the only Bengali gentleman whom he did the honor of
granting an interview was Babu Moti Lai. The private
character of Babu Moti Lai is exemplary. He leads
the simple life of a genuine Hindu. He has a kind and
loving word for all. His heart bleeds for the sufferings

of humanity. He is a devout Vaishnava and follower of Sri
Chaitanya the prophet of Nadia who preadied the religion
of love and hhakti (devotion). His motto is '* when you serve
otherS; extinguish self, as far as that is possible and never
seek reward and God will then bless your work." Address :

Prafulla Chandra Ray, D. Sc. (Edin.) Hon. Ph.D.
(Cal.), Hon. D. Sc. (Durham), C. I. E., Doctor — was born in
the year 1861 in his native village Raruli, District Jessore (now
Khulna). He was educated up to his 9th year in the H. E.
School of the village maintained by his father, late Harish
Chandra Ray. In 1870, his parents moved to Calcutta with
the object of imparting the best of education to their children.
Dr. Ray read up in the flare School till 1874 when he fell a
victim to dysentery from which he suffered a year. This
shattered his health and constitution to such an extent that from
that time he has never had a day which could be said was all
well with him. Being of a studious disposition and having a well
equipped library at home he literally devoured the contents of it
though suffering all the while and Dr. Ray has often been heard
to say that it was during this one year's protracted illness
together with another year of convalescence that he acquired
more than he could have done in his whole University career.
In 1876, he changed to the Albert School where he came in
contact wdth Keshab Chandra Sen whose lectures on religion
and morality he listened to with great attention. After
passing the Entrance Examination from this School he
became a student of the Metropolitan Institution as also of the
Presidency College, Scientific Department, and attended
lectures of Sir John Elliot and Sir Alexander Pedlar. While
yet a student of the 4th year class Dr. Ray was preparing
for the Gilchrist Examination and obtaining the necessary
Scholarship in 1882 he proceeded to England at once. He
studied in Edinburgh for 6 years devoting himself specially
to physical science. After obtaining the B. Sc degree he
applied himself exclusively to chemistry for which he had a
natural taste. In 1887, he was awarded the Hope Prize

88 WHO'S WHO IN INDIA

Scholarship, a distinction which falls to the lot of the best
boy of the year. He took his Doctrate in 1887 but stayed an
additional year that he might be thoroughly imbued with the
spirit of original investigation. In 1899 he returned to India
and was appointed Professor of Chemistry in the Presidency
College, Calcutta. In addition to his duties as a teacher in this
College Dr. Ray has found great delight in the work of
original research. In 1894 he read before the Asiatic Society
his first paper on original research, viz,, that on Chemical
Examination of the Indian fats and oils. In 1895 he began
his memorable researches on mercury and nitric acid and it
was this work which picked him out in the forefront. The
discovery by him of mercurious nitrite, the first product of the
action of nitric acid on mercury was spoken of in glowing
terms not only in India and England but the German savants
were equally surprised at the same, all the more, as distin-
guished chemists like Peligot, Nemaun and Lang were unsuc-
cessful in their attempts. Since then he has published some 60
papers on the nitrites of mercury, etc., in the journal of the
London Chemical Society. In 1904-05, he proceeded to Eng-
land on deputation and made a " holy pilgrimage " to all the
centres of chemical activities, renewing and sometimes making
new acquaintances with the chief chemists of London, Man-
chester, Leeds, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Dublin, E'aris, Berlin,
Zurich, etc. The life of a chemist is the bare enumeration of
his researches, but the life of this oriental savant is a little
different. If anyone is to analyse his whole life he would be
surprised by the most uneventful character of it but four land-
marks stand prominent even in this life: (i) His devotion to
the cause of science and education; (2) his labours in the bring-
ing out of a History of the Hindu Chemistry in two volumes ;

(3) the Bengal Chemical and Pharmaceutical works and

(4) perhaps the sublimest of all, his charity. Address: 91,

CHUNNIBHAI MADHAWLA.L SiRDAR, SiR, KT., C.I.E.,
Baronet, of Ahmedabad, was born in 1864. His grandfather,
the late Runchorelal Chotalal, C.i.E., was one of the pioneers
of trade and especially of the cotton manufacturing trade in
Gujarat and started the first Spinning Mill in Ahmedabad nearly
fifty years ago. This example was quickly followed by other
capitalists and there are to-day over half a hundred cotton
mills of various classes working in Ahmedabad. This gentle-
man and his son Madhawlal took a very prominent part in
the development of the city and it is but true to say that it
owes much of its present day prosperity to their exertions.
Sir Chunnibhai passed through the Ahmedabad High School
and then matriculated and passed two years at College. This
course was succeeded by a two years term at the Ahmedabad
Spinning and Weaving Mills where he was well grounded in
commercial matters under the personal supervision of his
long-sighted grandfather. At a comparatively young age, he
lost his grandfather, and his father almost at the same time,
and the vast responsibilities of the business were thrown on
to his shoulders ; but he was not only equal to the burdens of
his business as a merchant and cotton spinner but was
able also to undertake the duties of a Municipal Coun-
cillor and to carry them out with conspicuous ability and
credit to himself. Sir Chunnibhai was the first man in India to
attempt the spinning of the finest variety of *' counts " from
Egyptian cotton, and to-day he owns two of the most success-
ful Cotton Mills in the Bombay Presidency giving employ-
ment to over 5,000 hands. His public works are many and
include the foundation of a Science Institute in his native city
at a cost of Rs. 6,00,000; and a donation of Rs. 3,00,000 to
the Runchorelal Chotalal Technical Institute. Sir Chunni-
bhai's charities are not confined to Ahmedabad alone but
extend to distant lands like Hardwar, Benares and Southern
India. Among them may be mentioned the establishment
of a High School bearing his grandfather's name at a cost of
Rs. 75,000 and a donation of Rs. 25,000 towards the spread

SUPPLEMENT iii

of Sanskrit knowledge. A munificient sum of Rs. 1,50,000
has been given to Ravabai Jubilee Hospital for its equipment
and maintenance. The Government rewarded his services by
the grant of the title of C.I.E., in 1907; he was made a first
class Sirdar in 1909, was created a Knight in 191 1, and the
honor of baronetcy was conferred on him in January, 19 13.

BiHARi Lal Gupta, C.S.i., i.c.S., Mr. — was educated at
Colootola Branch School, Calcutta, and at Calcutta University
and at University College, London. He was appointed to
the LC.S. after the examination of 1869, and on coming to
India was posted to Bengal. He was placed on famine
relief duty in 1874, was Presidency Magistrate and Coroner
in Calcutta in 187 1, District and Sessions Judge in 1888,
Superintendent and Remembrancer of Legal Affairs in 1900,
and officiated as Judge at the Calcutta High Court in 1901
and 1906. He became a member of the Legislative Council
in March, 1902, retaining that position for five years, and was
appointed Minister at Baroda in 19 12. Mr. Gupta has done
excellent service in the Baroda State and Jn recognition of
the same the title of C.S.L was confered on him in 1913.
Address : Baroda.

Ramabai Ranade, Mrs. — the widow of the late Mr. Justice
M. G. Ranade, was born in the year 1863 in a village in Satara
District. As was the practice in those days she had received no
education till her marriage in 1874 when she was 11 years
old. It was after the marriage that her husband seriously took
upon himself the task of educating her. During the life-time of
her husband she got ampleopportunitiesof broadening her mind
and thus became a true companion of her great husband.
Mr. Ranade before his death, in 1901, served for 7 years in
Bombay as a Judge of the High Court and during this time
Mrs. Ranade took a leading part in the social life of the city
and it is a matter of great satisfaction that she has continued
it to the present day. She organised the Hindu Ladies' Social

u:i WHO'S WHO IN INDIA

Club in Bombay and was its President till she left Bombay in
1 90 1. In Poona where she went to stay in her husband's house
after his death she started the Hindu Ladies' Social Club and
is its President. She is now the central figure in all activities
for vv'omen not only in Poona but all over the Deccan so
far as social and philanthropic movements by women go.
Besides being a member of a number of associations, like the
Hindu Women's Home in Poona, the National Indian Asso-
ciation, Poona Branch, the Poona Plague Relief Committee,
the Salumbra Fire Committee, she is a regular visitor to the
Central Jail in Poona where she teaches the 3 R's
to female convicts. Of late, her main line of work has been
the women's movement called the Sevasadan Society of
Bombay of which she is the President since its commence-
ment in 1909. She is also the President of the Poona branch
of the Sevasadan and what is more striking is that the whole
institution is located in her own house. Under her guidance
this institution promises to be the foremost institution in the
land as a women's mission of service. She, accompained by
three other high class women workers of the Sevasadan, went to
Palanpur in Kathiawar at the time of the great famine of 191 1-
12 to distribute relief to the famine striken people and in
appreciation of these and other services the Government
granted her a Silver Kaisar-i-Hind Medal. As regards her
literary merits she occupies a pre-eminent place among the
authoresses of the Deccan. Among others, she has published
a Marathi book styled "The Reminiscenses of Mr. Ranade
and this publication has become so popular that 3 editions
have been printed. Moreover, the book has been translated
into Gujrati and Hindi as well. The property left to her by
her husband is just enough for her to keep her position. Mr.
Ranade has appointed her the sole executress of a charitable
trust of the value of Rs. 50,000 which he created to help
several social, religious, educational and political movements.
Her own charities have also been many and in different
directions. She now spends all hef time in educational, social

and philanthropic work and to no small extent are the present
popularity and manifold activities of the Sevasadan movement
due to this great woman who to-day occupies, by her qualities
of head and heart, a pre-eminent position in the Deccan,

Dhondo Keshav Karve, b.a., Professorof Mathematics,
Fergusson College, Poona, was born in May, 1858, and educated
at the Elphinstone College, Bombay. Professor Karve has dedi-
cated his life to the cause of womanhood in Southern India
and in his own words " I love that cause as I love anything.'*
After graduating at the age of 27 he lived in Bombay for 7
years and worked for sometime as mathematical teacher in
the Cathedral Girls' High School and the Alexandra Native
Girls' English Institution. At the end of 1891 when the
mathematical teachership in the Fergusson College fell vacant
it was offered to him by the Hon'ble Professor Gokhale
who was his class fellow in the Elphinstone College. In 1893,
he, then a widower, his wife having died shortly before,
determined to inaugurate his work in the cause of the re-
marriage of Hindu widows by himself marrying a widow.
Eight years later, in 1901, he saw the wisdom of separating
the two causes of women's education and widow remarriage
and commenced to devote himself to the .former, transferring
the management of the purely social reform cause to a friend.
In 1907, the next step was taken by him of founding the
Mahila Vidyalaya which was intended to be an institution
for the encouragement of marriage at a later age than had
been customary till then. In 19 10, again, Professor Karve
inaugurated the movement to establish a self-denying body of
women (chiefly widows) who were to devote their lives to the
administration of the Mahila Vidyalaya or that part of it, at
all events, which is intended to promote education and general
social reform. This last body bears, in its idealism, a
striking resemblance to and may be said to be the comple-
ment of another body in Poona founded by the Hon'ble
Mr. Gokhale, namely, the Servants of India Society. In the

114 WHO'S WHO IN INDIA

words of the Hon'ble Mr. C. H. Hill, C.S.I., I.C.S., the special
unique character of Professor Karve lies in two very definite
directions, firstly, there is the unadvertising, steady, personal
devotion to the cause to which he has sacrificed so much with-
out, in any way, proclaiming his deed from the housetops; and
secondly, there is the very remarkable sagacity displayed by him
in the steps by which he has sought to advance. Professor
Karve has thus been both a pioneer and an organiser in the
women's cause. Like all apostles he has met with difficulties,
misunderstanding and occasional reviling, but there can be
no doubt that he has secured a large measure of success.

Sarojini Naidu, Mrs. — Sarojini Chattopadhyaya was born
at Hyderabad on 13th February, 1879. Her father, Dr. Aghore
Nath Chattopadhyaya, is descended from the ancient Brahmin
family of Chatterjees of Brahm^nagram and is a Doctor of
Science of the University of Edinburgh and founder of the
Nizam College at Hyderabad. Sarojini is the eldest of his
children, and was given a very good training by her talented
father. She herself says that though her father was determined
that she should be a great mathematician or a scientist yet
the poetic instinct which she inherited from him and also from
her mother (who wrote some lovely Bengali lyrics in her youth)
proved stronger. *' One day," she says, "when I was eleven
I was sighing over a sum in Algebra it would^nt come right,
but, instead, a whole poem came to me suddenly." At thirteen
she wrote a long poem a la ' Lady of the Lake' — 1)300 lines —
in six days and has since been the author of innumerable poems.
Sarojini Chattopadhyaya passed the matriculation examina-
tion of the Madras University in her 12th year and at once
became famous throughout India. She was sent to England
in 1895 and stayed there till 1898 studying first at King's
College and afterwards at Girton. She returned to Hyderabad
in September, 1898, and in December married Dr. Naidu,
though he belonged to a different caste. Her wedded life has
been happy and has left her ample leisure to fulfil the great
purpose and passion of her life — the dedication of her soul to
the services of the Muse of Poetry, She has recently appeared
on various platforms in India and has shown rare talents
as a stirring speaker. In Hyderabad she is a great social
force making for harrtiony and happiness. As a woman of
great beauty and personal charm, as a sweet toned and stirring
speaker on public platform her life has been a brilliant
record of rare achievement for the up-lift of India. As a

142 WHO'S WHO IN INDIA

poet, Mrs. Sarojini has now a world-wide reputation. The
lyric element predominates in her verse. Her poems are
mostly "short swallow-flight of song." Nature plays the same
part in her poetry as it does in Tennyson's, it is a backgrpund
for the portraiture of human emotions. Another important
characteristic of Mrs. Sarojini's verse is the passionate love
for her country that throbs in it. Taken all in all Mrs.
Srojini is the most gifted poet of our century in India.

SiVASWAMI AlYAR, B.A., B.L., C.S.I., C.I.E., the Hon'ble
Mr. P. S. — was born in Tanjore in February, 1864. A brief

Part II). In February, 19 12, Mr. Aiyar was appointed a

Executive Council, is the highest post that has so far been

Prof. Rammurti Naidu, the Indian Hercules — was
born, in 1883, in Viraghattam — a small town, a short distance
from Vizianagram in the Madras Presidency. Both his
parents were of the common run of men so far as general
physique is concerned and so the Indian Hercules, as Prof.
Rammurti is called, did not inherit his great strength from
them. Rammurti's schooling began when he was only 5
years old but he did not make much progress in his studies
often retrogressing from a higher to a 'lower form. At first,
he was a sickly youth and suffered from asthma which,
strange to say, was cured by (medicated) cigar smoking.
But, from the very beginning, Rammurti showed an intense

i^M^

SUPPLEMENT 143

interest in the tales of the Hindu heroes of old and evinced
an overpowering love for athletics. He would run and
romp and go through the exercises prescribed by native
wrestlers and when he became a little older he took to foreign
gymnastics with the same avidity as he had shown for those of
his own land. In 1896, Prof. Rammurti joined the High
School at Vizianagram as an Honorary teacher of physical
culture and the position afforded him ample opportunity to
engage in manly sports and develope his physique. About
3 years later, he discovered that his foreign exercises — his
practice with trapeziums, rings, parallel bars, horizontal bars
and Sandow's dumb-bells — were doing him no good. They
produced an abnormal muscular development but no strength.
Moreover, they called for expensive apparatus. Once his mind
w^as made up he exclusively took to Indian gymnastics — dand^
baithak, w^alking in the morning and running, swimming,
wrestling, etc. In 1902, the youngman joined the "Raja of
Tuni Circus Company and was made the manager of the
concern. His athletic feats interested the public and in 1903
and 1904, he was the recipient of a number of medals. In
1904, the company broke and Rammurti was again unengaged.
On 27th May, 1905, he challenged Eugen Sandow who was,
at the time, charming Madras with his dumb-bell feats. Sandow
rejected the challenge refusing to put his strength against that
of a mere " native " but this did not discourage Rammurti. On
the other hand, he himself began to think of large audiences
witnessing and applauding his own performances like those of
the English physical culturist. In 1905, he gave his first
exhibition in Madras under the patronage of Lord Ampthill,
the then Governor of the Presidency. His feats won him
instant success, for, nothing like them had ever before been
seen anywhere in the world. In the following January,
he repeated his performance before the present King and
Queen who were then in India as the Prince and the Princess
of Wales. So pleased were they with Rammurti's strength
that they gave hini a gold medal as a token of their apprecia-

144 WHO'S WHO IN INDIA

tion. In 1909, he took a fast trip through some of the
countries of the Far East and was received with acclaim
wherever he performed. While in Malaysia, an attempt was
made to poison him by a rival athlete but it proved futile.
This same year, Lord and Lady Minto presented him with a
medal and also gave him a certificate, speaking in the highest
terms, of his interesting feats at a garden party at Barrackpur.
In May, 19 10, he went to England where he showed his
strength to the people from all over the world assembled
there for the Coronation of the King-Emperor. Rammurti's
life is a life of plain living and high thinking. For a time, he
took meat as an essential part of his daily menu thinking
it necessary for his health, but of late he has reverted to a
purely vegetarian diet. He never takes alcoholic drinks
unless medicinally. Unlike the common run of Indian
athletes, Rammurti is a man of original ideas. When you
question him closely as to how he is able to exhibit such
superhuman strength he unassumingly answers '* will power
does it." He tells you in explanation that when the
elephant is to pass over his person or the country carts over
his thighs and chest, or when he is to bear a huge stone on
his person or let the motar car run over him or break the
chain, all that he does is to concentrate his mind on the
particular portion of his body which is to bear the brunt of
the burden and since the mental controls the physical his
body obeys his will and he is able to perform the feat without
being hurt in the least. Rammurti is a great believer in.
" pranayam " — breathing exercises and concentration of
thought, both of which he practises regularly every day. He
has great faith in the old institution of * Brahmacharya ' and
advocates that Indian men should not marry until they are
25 years old. He himself is still a celibate and wishes to
continue to be one until the end of his sporting career.
Rammurti not only loves his country but constantly thinks
about its welfare. He is exceedingly unhappy because the
physique of his countrymen is being undermined by early

SUPPLEMENT [43

marriage and the neglect of physical exercises. It is his
intention to establish a college of physical culture in some
central spot in India. With this purpose*in view he is laying
aside a portion of his earnings and proposes to use the funds
thus secured to found and endow this institution.
