  • Political History of Modern Kerala.Pmd
    Political History of Modern Kerala Chapter III POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT OF COCHIN Introduction he political movements in Cochin offer almost a contrast to those Tof Travancore in respect of their origin, character and course of events. There is no such phase in the modern history of Cochin as the one marked by the Memorials in the politics of Travancore. The fact that the princes of the large-sized Cochin royal family entered into matrimonial relations with Nair families ensured for the Nair community a privileged position in the civil services and there was no need for them to petition or protest in regard to denial of jobs as in Travancore. The communal overtones associated with the movements in Travancore were also by and large absent in Cochin. Whereas the Government of Travancore proceeded with liberal social reforms like Temple Entry, the Government of Cochin not only followed a policy of caution in this field but even opposed the move for Temple Entry. At the same time, in Travancore the GovernmentBOOKS adopted a policy of opposition to the popular demand for responsible government while in Cochin it implemented a liberal policy of conceding this demand by stages. Mention should also be made in this context of the personal factor. Sir R.K. ShanmukhamDC Chetti who was the Dewan of Cochin in the crucial thirties was much different from Sir C.P. Ramaswami Aiyar, his counterpart in Travancore at the time, in his outlook and approach.This was mainly because the former was a leading light of the non-Brahmin movement in the Madras Presidency before he accepted the office of the Dewan of Cochin.

  • The Impact of Modern Education on the Ruling Caste, the Urs, in the Princely State of Mysore
    142 ■ Research Note ■ Forming a Class of Gentlemen: the Impact of Modern Education on the Ruling Caste, the Urs, in the Princely State of Mysore ● Aya Ikegame 1. Introduction In the second half of the nineteenth century, modern and western education became a crucial matter not only for the Brahmins or liter- ary classes who already occupied high status in the colonial adminis- tration, but also for the Kshatriyas, especially princes and royals [Allen and Dwivedi 1998; Price 1996]. It may be argued that they wished to maintain, through such education, their authority as 'proper rulers' both from the point of view of their people and from that of the colonial power)) But what is a 'proper ruler'? What did it mean to be a king or a Kshatriya ruler in colonial times? The topic, which will be discussed here, concerns the nature and form of modern education introduced among Indian rulers, royals, and their caste members, the Urs, in the princely state of Mysore from the end of the nineteenth to the early twentieth century.

The research presented here is part of my dissertation work, and I have planned to publish this soon after submitting the dissertation (for my Ph D from the University of Washington, Seattle, USA) in 2015. The earlier draft received some useful and critical inputs, which set me on revising it substantially and also increasing its scope. It is now considerably improved and I hope that it will be received with interest. I express my deep gratitude to two individuals on this account: Dr Radha D’Souza for her critical review and discussion of the draft, and Dr Gopinath Reddy at CESS for his extraordinary patience and undeserving belief in me and my work. I am also thank Prof Gopal Kadekodi for his comments on an earlier version of the draft. I thank my colleagues at the Centre for Policy Research (CPR), New Delhi, for conversations, inputs and support at different stages of producing this research. I am grateful to Dr Pratap Bhanu Mehta and Dr Partha Mukhopadhyay for their unstinting support. I have been fortunate to benefit from generous conversations with late Prof Ramaswamy Iyer on the subject. I have also benefitted from interactions with several professional colleagues engaged directly with interstate water disputes resolution. I want to particularly acknowledge the enthusiastic the generous support of Mr Mohan Katarki.

    RAJASTHAN HIGH COURT Purshotam Singh Vs. Narain Singh Civil Misc. Writ No. 24 of 1954 ( Wanchoo, C.J. and Dave, J.) 16.08.1955 JUDGMENT Wanchoo, C.J. 1. This is an application by Purshotam Singh for a writ, direction or order in the nature of certiorari or mandamus under Article 226 of the Constitution quashing the order of His Highness the Rajpramukh, which was conveyed to the Additional Jagir Commissioner, Udaipur, on 3-4-1954. 2. The facts put forward by the applicant in support of his application are these : 3. The last holder of the Jagir of Jilola wasThakur Pratapsingh who died in September 1952without leaving any male issue. Pratap Singh had a son Govind Singh who had gone in adoption to the Jagirdar of Amet. Purshotamsingh is the son of this Govind Singh, and says that he was adopted by the widow of Pratapsingh as a son to Pratapsingh after his death. The applicant also says that there was a will by Pratapsingh in his favor bequeathing all his property including the jagir to him. Anyhow disputes arose about the succession to the jagir on the death of Pratapsingh. Eventually the dispute was confined to Purshottam Singh on the one hand, and Narain Singh, opposite party, on the other. The matter was enquired into by the Additional Jagir Commissioner, and he made a report on 1-9-1953. In this report, the Additional Jagir Commissioner said that Purshotamsingh would be entitled to succession if the rule of Murisala was ignored; but that if the rule of Murisala was applied, Narainsingh would be entitled to succeed.
