HARYANA DISTRICT GAZETTEEERS ------------------------ REPRINT OF AMBALA DISTRICT GAZETTEER, 1923-24 GAZETTEERS ORGANISATION REVENUE DEPARTMENT HARYANA CHANDIGARH (INDIA) 1998 The Gazetteer was published in 1925 during British regime. 1st Reprint: December, 1998 © GOVERNMENT OF HARYANA Price Rs. Available from: The Controller, Printing and Stationery, Haryana, Chandigarh (India). Printed By : Controller of Printing and Stationery, Government of Haryana, Chandigarh. PREFACE TO REPRINTED EDITION The District Gazetteer is a miniature encyclopaedia and a good guide. It describes all important aspects and features of the district; historical, physical, social, economic and cultural. Officials and other persons desirous of acquainting themselves with the salient features of the district would find a study of the Gazetteer rewarding. It is of immense use for research scholars. The old gazetteers of the State published in the British regime contained very valuable information, which was not wholly reproduced in the revised volume. These gazetteers have gone out of stock and are not easily available. There is a demand for these volumes by research scholars and educationists. As such, the scheme of reprinting of old gazetteers was taken on the initiative of the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Haryana. The Ambala District Gazetteer of 1923-24 was compiled and published under the authority of Punjab Govt. The author mainly based its drafting on the assessment and final reports of the Settlement Officers. The Volume is the reprinted edition of the Ambala District Gazetteer of 1923-24. This is the ninth in the series of reprinted gazetteers of Haryana. Every care has been taken in maintaining the complete originality of the old gazetteer while reprinting. -
Engineers in India: Industrialisation, Indianisation and the State, 1900-47
Engineers in India: Industrialisation, Indianisation and the State, 1900-47 A P A R A J I T H R AMNATH July 2012 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Imperial College London Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine DECLARATION This thesis represents my own work. Where the work of others is mentioned, it is duly referenced and acknowledged as such. APARAJITH RAMNATH Chennai, India 30 July 2012 2 ABSTRACT This thesis offers a collective portrait of an important group of scientific and technical practitioners in India from 1900 to 1947: professional engineers. It focuses on engineers working in three key sectors: public works, railways and private industry. Based on a range of little-used sources, it charts the evolution of the profession in terms of the composition, training, employment patterns and work culture of its members. The thesis argues that changes in the profession were both caused by and contributed to two important, contested transformations in interwar Indian society: the growth of large-scale private industry (industrialisation), and the increasing proportion of ‘native’ Indians in government services and private firms (Indianisation). Engineers in the public works and railways played a crucial role as officers of the colonial state, as revealed by debates on Indianisation in these sectors. Engineers also enabled the emergence of large industrial enterprises, which in turn impacted the profession. Previously dominated by expatriate government engineers, the profession expanded, was considerably Indianised, and diversified to include industrial experts. Whereas the profession was initially oriented towards the imperial metropolis, a nascent Indian identity emerged in the interwar period. -
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. -

Administration of Dir Under Nawab Shah Jehan
Pakistan Vol. 49, 2013 Annual Research Journal ADMINISTRATION OF DIR UNDER NAWAB SHAH JEHAN Gohar Ali Shah Abstract Dir the land of lofty mountains, snow peaks, lush green valley, transparent streams and industrious people, remained shrouded for a long time in obscurity, unknown to the outside world. It is very difficult to say that how and when Dir became the residential area but it must be said that due to the beauty, plenty and security, this area will have become the residential area from long age. Dir was invaded by Alexander, than came under the Budhist, the Mughal and important event was the settlement of the Yousafzai tribe in the area by defeating Swatis and Dilazaks in sixteenth century. The followers of Mullah Ilyas ruled for more than three centuries, and then a period of politicization and democratization started. Muhammad Shah Jehan ascended the throne after the death of his father Nawab Aurangzeb khan in November, 1924 and declared himself as the new Nawab of Dir and ruled till 1960. He was a tyrant ruler and ruled with an iron hand. He introduced some administrative reforms in army, judiciary, executive, and in legislation in his principality. His rule was not different than a dictator’s. He snatched the power from his father and imposed his own constitution to show his mighty power. This paper is an attempt to discuss the administrative setup of Nawab Shah Jehan in detail. The data has been collected from books and personal interviews. Keywords Dir, Nawab Shah Jehan, Administration, Jirgah, Shariah, Dastural Amal. Nawab Muhammad Shah Jehan After the death of Nawab Aurangzeb his son Shah Jehan succeeded his father as the Nawab of Dir and ruled from November 1925 to 8th October 1960. -

HUZOOR's TOUR of GERMANY MAY – JUNE 2015 a Personal
HUZOOR’S TOUR OF GERMANY MAY – JUNE 2015 A Personal Account PART 1 By Abid Khan 1 Introduction On 23 May 2015, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (aba) and his Qafila (entourage) set off for an 18day tour to Germany, where Huzoor would grace the Jalsa Salana with his presence. On this occasion the Qafila was a little larger than on the previous tours I had been a part of. Apart from Huzoor and Khala Saboohi (Huzoor’s respected wife), there were 14 members of the Qafila who travelled from London on that day. There were seven security staff, Muhammad Ahmad Sahib (Ahmad bhai), Nasir Saeed Sahib, Sakawat Bajwa Sahib, Mohsin Awam Sahib, Sardar Humayun Sahib, Khawaja Qudoos Sahib and Nazir Baloch Sahib. The office staff comprised Munir Ahmad Javed Sahib (Private Secretary), Abdul Majid Tahir Sahib (Additional WakilulTabshir), Mubarak Ahmad Zafar Sahib (Additional WakilulMaal), Bashir Ahmed Sahib (PS Office) and me travelling on behalf of the central Press & Media Office. Nadeem Amini and Nasir Amini, two cousins from Bradford, were also part of the Qafila as the designated drivers for two of the cars. A few days prior to Huzoor’s arrival, Mahmood Ahmad Khan Sahib (security staff) had been sent in advance to Germany and he had been accompanied by a young WaqfeZindighi serving in Private Secretary Sahib’s Office, Athar Baig. 2 Packing advice A couple of days before the tour, I was fortunate to have Mulaqat in Huzoor’s office. Whilst, I was seated, Huzoor was going through his office mail when he came across a document in which the weather forecast for the duration of Huzoor’s forthcoming tour of Germany had been printed. -

But Man is not a mere machine. He is a human being with feelings of sympathy for some and antipathy for others. This is even true of the ‘best’ man. He too is charged with the feelings of class sympathies and class antipathies. Having regard to these considerations the ‘best’ man from the governing class may well turn out to be the worst from the point of view of the servile classes. The difference between the governing classes and the servile classes in the matter of their attitudes towards each other is the same as the attitude a person of one nation has for that of another nation. - Dr. Ambedkar in ‘What Congress.... etc.’ z:\ ambedkar\vol-09\vol9-01.indd MK SJ 10-1-2013/YS-13-11-2013 4 z:\ ambedkar\vol-09\vol9-01.indd MK SJ 10-1-2013/YS-13-11-2013 5 DR. -

Ray, at Sri Gouranga PresS, Ii <;;h~laJ.llan.i 1}as tan~. Calcutta. TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE l THJt Emperor Akbar (reign 1556-1605 A.D.) set the example of having a detailed history of his reign written by official command. The result was the A~~1!'!g;h or 'Book of Akbar' of. ~uly-)y:l (completed by other hands after that author's death). Then came the Emperor Jahangir" who dictated his own memoirs, known as the Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri, and therefore no official Jahiingir-niimah had to be written about him. This book, however, combines the literary characteristics of an autobiography with those of an official history, or in other words, it gives the Emperor's own reflections and feelings as well as an objective record of the events of his reign. Indeed, in this reign, the literary type of the Mughal official histories was determined for the future, as was exemplified by the Piidishiihniimah (Shah Jahan), the (Alamgir-1Ui.mah (of Aurangzib, completed by the Maasir-i-Alamgiri), the Bahadur Shah-niimah (Shah Alam I) and later attempts like the Tiirikh-i-Ahmad Shahi and the Tiirikh-i-(Alamgir $iini. -
