The Maratha scholars and historians had worked hard to construct the history of the land and people of Maharashtra. Among such scholars people like Kashinath Sane, Rajwade, Khare and Parasnis were well known luminaries in this field of history writing of Maratha. Kashinath Sane published a mass of original material like Bakhars, Sanads, letters and other state papers in his journal Kavyetihas Samgraha for more eleven years during the nineteenth century.

    Tran DF sfo P rm Y e Y r B 2 B . 0 A Click here to buy w w m w co .A B BYY. INTRODUCTION The first idea of compiling information about the different districts of the Bombay Presidency, conceived as far back as 1843, was in the form of Statistical Accounts. The Collectors of the districts were called upon to collect fullest information about 'the state of the cross and other roads not under the superintendence of a separate department, the passes and ferries throughout the country, the streets in the principal towns and the extension and improvement of internal communication'. The Collectors were also desired to include in their Annual Reports observations on every point from which a knowledge of the actual condition of the country could be gathered. In this scheme there was obviously no place for any section on history. Later, in 1867, it was proposed to compile a Gazetteer of the Presidency on the model of the Gazetteer of the Central Provinces which had been prepared during that year So several new subjects were proposed to be included in the Gazetteer, of which history was one. The purpose was to give a new Collector a comprehensive and at the same time a distinct idea of the district which he had been sent to administer. To-day our notions about the Gazetteers have greatly changed. They are intended to serve not only the administrators but the entire nation. The people must have full information about inter alia the past history and culture of their country.

  • ART. XX.-Some Interesting Antiquities of Salsette Bv J
    ART. XX.-Some Interesting Antiquities of Salsette Bv j. A. SALDANHA, B.A., LL.B. (Read on 12tk January 1917.) Next to Bombay there is no part of this Presidency which engages so much of the solicitude of Government and the concern of the public as the island of Salsette. It is to this islana that the Bombay Town Planning Act of 1915 has primarily been made applicable-with a special collector, called the Salsette Development Officer, to carry out its purpose with a direct eye to the highest type of sanitation and the best amenities of a town life. The study of the past of such a place must be of unique interest and value. 2. In this paper I propose to confine myself to some ol its antiqui­ ties over which light is thrown fron1 legal enactments and documents. The first one that occurs tu. us is a very antique regulation of the Bombay Government, which, though not standing in any Statute book of unrepealed laws and regulations, still holds good in certain parts ol the Salsette island. It is the Salsette Revenue Settlement Regulation No. 1 of 1808. It consists of an historical memoir of the revenut! systems established by the Portuguese, the Mahrattas and the East India Company as well of a little of geography, ethnography, botany and zoology of the place. In fact, it is a small gazetteer of the island in the form of one of the old Bombay Regulations, held by Courts to have had the force of a legislative enactment and relied upon as binding­ in regard to land tenures in certain Khoti villages.

  • 1 Bombay and Lahore. Colonial Railways and Colonial
    1 Bombay and Lahore. Colonial Railways and Colonial Cities: Some Urban Consequences of the Development and Operation of Railways in India, c. 1850-c. 1947 by Ian J. Kerr Two images, two railway stations, frame this presentation: the first is Victoria Terminus in Bombay; the second is the station in Lahore. Many aspects of the post-1850 histories of Bombay and Lahore were deeply affected by the development and operation of the railways of colonial India. Each station, so different one from the other, tells us something about the history of each city and their railways; different histories, different growth trajectories within a shared context defined by British colonial rule in South Asia and the development of a system of colonial railways. Lahore is discussed later in the paper. I begin with Bombay. Victoria Terminus is shown in figure 1 below. Commonly known as VT in a semiotic shift indicative of appropriation and familiarity, it opened in 1887 after nearly a decade of construction. This magnificent building ranks among the world’s great railway stations.1 Designed by its architect, F.W. Stevens, in what is sometimes labelled an Indo-Italian Secular Gothic style and echoing some elements of London’s St. Pancras Station Hotel, Victoria Terminus dominated the cityscape of late 19th century central Bombay; it remains a formidable presence in the early years of the 21st century despite a cityscape now dotted with skyscrapers. Over 2 million passengers pass daily through the sumptuous interior with its marble floors, stained glass windows, and a great staircase lined with Corinthian columns of polished granite from Aberdeen, Scotland—a staircase that provided access to the upper- level, headquarter offices of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company (hereafter GIP), and now its successor, the Central Division of the world’s fourth-longest (38,500 route miles) railway system and, at 1.75 million employees, the world’s largest, single-enterprise employer: the state-owned and state-operated Indian Railways.

  • BOMBAY Story of the Island City
    BOMBAY Story of the Island City By A. D. PUSALKER & V. G. DIGHE -~INDIA ORIENTAL CONFERENCE BOMBAY. 1949 BOMBAY Story <:>f the Island-City. By A. D. PUSALKER & V. G. DIGHE ALL INDIA OltiEN'l'AL CONFERENCE BOMBAY. 1 9 .4 9 Printed bJ G. G. Patbue at 'l'be Popular Pna (Bom.) Ltd., ....~ 7 Uld Publlabed .., the Local s-.r,., All Jndla OrieDtal Confennce, Town Hall, Bombay 1. PRICE IUIPBES '!:. PREFACE The rise and growth of Bombay present interesting problems to a student of history. While the city has been built in comparatively modern times the formation of the island and its rock temples arouse the interest of the geologist and the antiquarian. The history of the island upto 1500 A.D. is not very eventful; this tropical island and its native population slumbered in peaceful repose till the first European set foot on its soil and set in train forces which transformed it into one of the largest cities in the East and made it the beehive of commerce and industry. How this transformation was wrought, what factors contributed to it, has been narrated in the pages that follow. The object of the book as the title explains is to narrate the story of the island city in simple outline. The main sources of information are Edwardes' Rise of Bombay and the statistical Account of the town and island of Bombay based on old Government records and prepared for the Bombay Gazetteer. Other sources have also been consulted. The account of research institutes in the city will, it is hoped, interest Orientalists and Historians.
