  • The Indian Title Badge: 1911-1947 Jim Carlisle, OMSA No
    The Journal of the Orders and Medals SocieW of America The Indian Title Badge: 1911-1947 Jim Carlisle, OMSA No. 5577 ing George V, on the occasion of the Delhi Durbar, Kintroduced the India Title Badge on 12 December 1911 to be conferred, as a symbol of honor and respect, on the holders of a title conferred by the King-Emperor. The Badge was a step-award in three classes given to civilians and Viceroy’s commissioned officers of the Indian Army for faithful service or acts of public welfare. Awards of the Badge began in January 1912. In many ways, the Badge is a cross between the Imperial Service Medal and the Kaisar-I-Hind. As with the Imperial Service Medal (ISM), it was awarded for long and faithful service to members of the civil and provincial services. Unlike the ISM it was also awarded to members of the military as well as to civilians not in the civil service. It was similar to the Kaisar-I-Hind in that there were three classes to the award as well as being awarded for service in India. Unlike the Kaisar-I- Hind, its award was restricted to non-Europeans. Unlike either of these awards, the India Title Badge also provided a specific title in the form of a personal distinction to the recipient. Specifics regarding the titles will be provided below. It is interesting to note that a title granted with the 1st India Title Badge, Class III- obverse Class of the Badge is identical to that granted to recipients of the Order of British India 1 st Class, Sardar Bahadur.

  • Popular Protest, Disorder, and Riot in Iran: the Tehran Crowd and the Rise of Riza Khan, 1921–1925Ã
    IRSH 50 (2005), pp. 167–201 DOI: 10.1017/S002085900500194X # 2005 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis Popular Protest, Disorder, and Riot in Iran: The Tehran Crowd and the Rise of Riza Khan, 1921–1925Ã Stephanie Cronin Summary: This article looks at the continuing political vitality of the urban crowd in early Pahlavi Iran and the role it played in the crises which wracked Tehran in the first half of the 1920s, examining, as far as possible, the ways in which crowds were mobilized, their composition, leaderships, and objectives. In particular it analyses Riza Khan’s own adoption of populist tactics in his struggle with the Qajar dynasty in 1924–1925, and his regime’s attempts to manipulate the Tehran crowd in an effort to overcome opposition, both elite and popular, and to intimidate formal democratic institutions such as the Majlis (parliament) and the independent press. In attempting to rescue the Tehran crowd from obscurity, or from condemnation as a fanatical and blindly reactionary mob, this article hopes to rectify the imbalance in much older scholarship which views early Pahlavi Iran solely through the prism of its state-building effort, and to introduce into the study of Iranian history some of the perspectives of ‘‘history from below’’. INTRODUCTION Early Pahlavi Iran has conventionally been seen through the prism of its state-building effort, the interwar decades characterized as a classic example of Middle Eastern ‘‘top-down modernization’’. In these years, according to this view, a new state, based on a secular, nationalist elite and acting as the sole initiator and agent of change, undertook a comprehensive and systematic reshaping of Iranian political, economic, social, and cultural life.

  • The Imperial Frontier: Tribal Dynamics and Oil in Qajar Persia, 1901-1910
    The Imperial Frontier: Tribal Dynamics and Oil in Qajar Persia, 1901-1910 Melinda Cohoon A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in International Studies: Middle East University of Washington 2017 Committee: Arbella Bet-Shlimon Ellis Goldberg Program Authorized to Offer Degree: The Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies ©Copyright 2017 Melinda Cohoon University of Washington Abstract The Imperial Frontier: Tribal Dynamics and Oil in Qajar Persia, 1901-1910 Melinda Cohoon Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Assistant Professor Arbella Bet-Shlimon Department of History By using the Political Diaries of the Persian Gulf, I elucidate the complex tribal dynamics of the Bakhtiyari and the Arab tribes of the Khuzestan province during the early twentieth century. Particularly, these tribes were by and large influenced by the oil prospecting and drilling under the D’Arcy Oil Syndicate. My research questions concern: how the Bakhtiyari and Arab tribes were impacted by the British Oil Syndicate exploration into their territory, what the tribal affiliations with Britain and the Oil Syndicate were, and how these political dynamics changed for tribes after oil was discovered at Masjid-i Suleiman. The Oil Syndicate initially received a concession from the Qajar government, but relied much more so on tribal accommodations and treaties. In addressing my research questions, I have found that there was a contention between the Bakhtiyari and the British company, and a diplomatic relationship with Sheikh Khazal of Mohammerah (or today’s Khorramshahr) and Britain. By relying on Sheikh Khazal’s diplomatic skills with the Bakhtiyari tribe, the British Oil Syndicate penetrated further into the southwest Persia, up towards Bakhtiyari territory.

Jun 1961 - “Pakhtoonistan” Dispute. - Military Operations in Frontier Areas. - Pakistani Allegations of Afghan Incursions. Fighting occurred in the Bajaur area of the Pakistani frontier with Afghanistan (north of the Khyber Pass) in September 1960 and again in May 1961. The Pakistani Government announced that it had repelled Afghan incursions on its territory allegedly carried out with the support of the Afghan Army, while the Afghan Government alleged that the Pakistani armed forces were engaged in operations against discontented Pathan tribesmen. Relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan have been strained for a number of years as a result of Afghanistan's demands for the establishment of an independent Pathan State of “Pakhtoonistan” or “Pushtunistan.” Diplomatic relations between the two countries were broken off in 1955 but resumed in September 1957; King Zahir Shah visited Karachi in February 1958, and an agreement on the improvement of transit facilities for Afghan goods through Pakistan was signed on May 29, 1958. In the later months of 1959, however, relations again deteriorated; the Pakistani Government protested in September of that year against broadcast speeches by King Zahir Shah and Sardar Mohammed Daud Khan (the Afghan Premier) reaffirming Afghanistan's support for the establishment of “Pakhtoonistan,” and on Nov. 23, 1959, made a further protest against unauthorized flights overPakistani territory by aircraft believed to have come from bases in Afghanistan. The Afghan Foreign Minister, Sardar Mohammed Naim, visited Rawalpindi on Jan.

FOREWORD The formation of the post independence narion out of the loose political structure of India after the departure of the British was a crucial phase in the modern Indian History. Sardar Vallabhai Patel can truly be described as one of the key architects of this phase even though Sardar Patel's govern- mental tenure in Delhi was a relatively short one. In the present lecture Shri L P Singh describes Sardar Patel as "the greatest statesman-adminis- trator of Independent India-" Shri Singh "rariks him with Ashoka.and Akbar, as a unifier of the country'. This interpretation of Sardar Patel's role covered in this brief lecture stands as a testimony to the emergence of the administrative state in India. The strength and weakness of the Indian States have been of some debate in recent years and perhaps the debate will occupy more space as the adequacies and inadequacies of the state in India begin to affect our national growth and performance. Shri L P Singh s lectu4e will be useful input in assuming both the role played by Sardar Patel and the evolution of the modern Indian state' May 1987 V A Pai Panandiker Director SARDAR PATEL AND THE INDIAN ADMINISTRATION I consider it a great honour to be invited to inaugurate a lecture series on Sardar Patel, who has been without doubi the greatest statesman- administrator of independent Indiq indeed the ' greatest in rnY view that our country has pro- iuced during the last four centuries.

  • Iram Sardar the Emerging British Empire and South Asia in the Eighteenth Century Abstract the Eighteenth Century Was a Time Of
    Iram Sardar The Emerging British Empire and South Asia in the Eighteenth Century Abstract The eighteenth century was a time of enormous progress in Britain brought about by a vibrant economy which was the result of innovation and the growth of industry. Although domestically Britain was doing well, it faced numerous vicissitudes in its colonies. By the middle of the eighteenth century the British had become the de facto rulers of India. This was brought about by strong leadership, a robust economy and a dynamic military force. But in America it was facing numerous problems which ensued in the breakaway of the colony. Despite of so many varying occurrences globally it was able to tackle them one by one and remain on the path of progress. This upward trend as a nation was brought about because of a number of reasons which included growing economy and a relatively stable political system which was an unusual blend of Constitutional Monarchy and a Parliamentary form of government. Introduction The growth and emergences of Britain as a world power can be traced back to only a few hundred years with substantial progress taking place in the eighteenth century, with specific reference to the middle of the century from the fifties to the seventies. The insignificant island nation rose from obscurity to become the leading nation not only in Europe but the entire world. It was a time of change which lead to progress; through innovation exploration and consolidation of new colonies across the globe, stretching from the East Indies to the West Indies, a feat which had never been achieved before.
