PREFACE
In this book an attempt has been made to present the general public
in this country with succinct biographies of most, if not all, living per-
sons who have had a direct connection with India either as
officials or
non-officials. In the majority of cases these biographies are based on
materials very kindly furnished by the persons themselves the rest are :

compiled from authoritative sources of information. The main object


kept in view has been to produce a comprehensive work useful to busy
people. Few care to wade through pages of writing to pick out the main
incidents of a notable's life. British "
The Who's Who " which has
supplied the model Who ", and the American
to the Japanese " Who's
" Who's Who, " is an invaluable work, and covers a field as wide as
the world itself. Its utiHty as a book of reference is beyond praise,
while its general accuracy has been a matter for wonder with most
people who have had occasion to use it. It has many Indian and

Anglo-Indian names included in it, but in the nature of things it cannot


be expected that it can deal with all personages whom India knows
or delights to honour. It is the purpose of the book to fill in this gap.

In its main design it follows that excellent book of reference, and it will
be apparent to those glancing through its p'ages that it covers a wide
ground. The name of almost every man and woman who has worked
or is working for the good of India, in the moral or material, religious
or political spheres has been, it is thought, included in it. Every
endeavour has been made to include the names of all title-holders in
India, but it is possible that owing to non-receipt of replies or from the
paucity of information available, there are occasional omissions. In
the next edition of the Dictionary, it is hoped to make good this short-
coming. A work like this depends very largely for its accuracy and
comprehensiveness on the help that the general public render its Editor.
It is hoped that many more will respond in the years to come to the
appeals for information sent to them. In order to facilitate the work of
giving accurate addresses, a desideratum, in a reference book of this
kind, those sending back proofs will help the Editor very much, in-
deed, if they will add an address or check the one already inserted and
supplement the same with the name of the club or clubs to which they
may belong, so that correspondence may be easily directed to them.
PREFACE
Clubs in India arc very numerous and there are few who do not
belong to one or other of these. To facilitate their work a list of clubs
is included in the appendices printed at the end of this volume to
which reference is solicited.

In the preparation of this boolv, histories of gazetted officers issued


by the Government of India and the various local Governments and
Administrations, and the Feudatory States of India, the India Office
List, Debrett's Baronetage and Peerage, 1914; Dodd's Peerage, 1914;
Who's Who, 1914 Sir Roper Lethbridge's The Golden Book of
;

India Air. Buckland's Z)/c^/on«r;j7 of Indian Biography, Whittaker's


;

Almanac, 1914, and many other official and non-official publications


have been consulted and to publishers and authors of these the Editor
would here express his great indebtedness.
It is work of this kind, passed through the press under
inevitable that a
difficulties and during intervals of time snatched from a busy working
day, should contain some typographical errors. The errata issued
will, it is hoped, tend to clear most of these. The Editor craves the
indulgence of the public in this matter. Every practicable suggestion
intended to improve the utility of the book will, the Editor wishes to
add here, receive his best attention when the time comes to issue the
next edition.

In conclusion the Editor would tender his thanks to the many gentle-
men who have helped him in any way in bringing out tfte work. He
would specially thank those who have readily responded to his call for
information. Also, those who have ver}' considerately tendered sugges-
tions to increase the utility of the book. He would also express his
thanks to Messrs. K. V. Raja Rao and T. Raja Rao who have assisted
him in the preparation of the volume and to Mr. L. Swami Rao, b.a.,
in reading the proofs.
The Editor.

APPENDIX VII
Terms Relating to Ranks and Titles
The following is a summary description, in alphabetical order,
of the various ranks which confer upon individuals to-
titles ;

gether with a brief account of a few terms which frequently


occur in the personal memoirs of each possessor of these digni-
ties :

ARCHBISHOPS. —The highest dignity in the Church is that of


"metropolitan prelate" or archbishop. He exercises control
over Bishops and the limit of his nrchiepiscopal jurisdiction is
;

called " a province." But in addition to these functions, he has


the actual care of a diocese, in w^iich he performs all the duties
of a suffragan prelate, owing obedience, however, only to the
Crown and the Parliament. The Archbishop of Canterbury can
issue licences for marriages to be solemnized at any time or place ;

and he has the power of granting degrees like those of a Univer-


sity.

Baron. —-This though now the lowest rankin the peerage is


the most ancient. It may
be derived from a writ of summons or
from letters patent. The former, if followed by an actual sitting
in the House of Lords, constitutes a title heritable by heirs male
and female of the body of the person summoned. The latter
always prescribes the course of descent in express words. Both
these kinds of Baronies are in existence but formerly another ;

class drew their honours from the possession of certain lands.


These " Baronies by tenure " are obsolete, though many heirs
of such titles exist, possessing baronies by writ or patent.

Baronets. — This order of titled persons w^as founded in


England by James I., 1611 in Ireland, to promote the planta-
;

tion of Ulster, by the same King, 1619 and in Scotland, for the
;

advancement of Nova Scotia, by Charles I., 1625. It owes its


birth to the necessities of James, who sought to recruit his
finances by the condition annexed to the title of paying into the
exchequer about 1095/., being ostensibly three years' pay of
thirty soldiers at 8fZ. a day per man. The institution of the
oi'der in Scotland was connected with a scheme for colonizing
Nova Scotia, and down to 1638 the patents contained a grant of
xlii
TERMS RELATING TO RANKS AND TITLES
lands in that colony, though it had before that date passed into-
the possession of the French. The dignity in modern times has~
always been created by patent, in which the course of its descent
is prescribed —
usually to the heir male of the body of the first
grantee. Many patents, previous to 1827, contained a clause,
I under which the eldest son of a Baronet may claim Knighthood
on coming of age. The rank of Baronet is a " necessary " addi-
tion to the name in all cases, and has to be written in full in
official signatures. The abbreviation " Bt." (not " hart.") is per-
missible in ordinary use.


Bishop. Every Bishop must have been in priest's orders,,
must be at least thirty years of age, must be born in lawful wed-
lock, and must be recommended by the Crown to the dean and
chapter by whom he is elected. Each new Bishop is conse-
'

crated " but when a prelate is removed from one see to another
;

the process is called " translation." The majority of the Bishops


have no seats in the House of Lords, being Prelates of Scotland
or Ireland, or Colonial or Missionary Bishops. Of the English
and Welsh Prelates, the two Archbishops, the Bishops of
London, Durham, and Winchester, and 21 of the remaining 30-
Bishops, sit as spiritual peers, the eight junior Bishops being
excluded. The Bishop of Sodor and Man has a seat )nit no vote..


Countess. The wife of an Earl, or the female possessor of a
peerage of that rank in her own right by descent or by creation..

Distinguished Service Order. This Order was instituted
by royal warrant, dated Gth September, 1880, for the purpose of
adequately rewarding the distinguished services of commissioned
officers of the Naval and military services who have been
honourably mentioned in despatches. It is to consist of the-
Sovereign and Companions.

Duke.—This, the highest rank in the British peerage, dates


its origin from the 11th of Edward III., in which year that King
created his eldest son aDuke previously tlie Kings of England
:

had themselves been styled "Dukes" of Normandy, and were-


naturally restrained from conferring an equal titular designation
upon any subject; but Edward 111. claimed to be " King of
France," and he was tlie first to create an English Duke. This
order of nobility disappeared wholly in 1572 l)y the extinction
of the heirs of all upon whom it had been conferred, or In' tlie
attainder of the remaining possessors of the title the first peer
;

subsequently raised to this rank was Ludovic Stuart, Duke of

TERMS RELATING TO RANKS AND TITLES
Eichmond, 17th May, 1623. There are at present only two
dukedoms in Ireland, those of Leinster and Abercorn, besides the
Eoyal Dukedom of Connaught.

Earl. The title of Earl may be traced to the Saxon earldor-
man, or the Danish jarl but its constitution as a dignity is, of
;

course, subsequent in date to the Norman Conquest, when the


designation comes. Count, or Earl, took a prominent place in the
peerage. Till the reign of Henry III. this dignity, together with
that of Baron, wholly constituted the nobility of the realm and
;

previous to that period earldoms seem in several instances to


have been enjoyed, like baronies, as a consequence of the tenure
of certain lands. Originally the title was derived from the name
of a county, the government of which was attached to the
honour but in modern times the dignity and the duty have
;

long been divided, and towns, villages, and country seats occa-
sionally furnish the name of an Earl.


Imperial Service Order. Instituted by King Edward on
his Coronation, 1902, formembers of the Civil Service of the
Empire, to be conferred after Long and Meritorious Service.
Knight Bachelor. — This rank is far more ancient than any

of the fraternities existingunder the name of Orders. By the


mere imposition of the Sovereign's sword on the shoulder, accom-

panied with the words " Arise, Sir ," its privileges are con-
ferred and even the members of the Orders of Knighthood must
;

all now receive this accolade before they can assume the designa-
tion of " Sir." When residence abroad prevents the personal
reception of this honour, it has of late become the practice to
issue letters patent granting the " style, title, and dignity of a
knight " to the favoured individual. The prefix of " Sir " is ex-
clusively English as appertaining to Knighthood, and is not
necessarily borne by any Foreign knight. In Ireland the Lord-
Lieutenant can confer the honour of Knighthood. The origin of
the designation Knight Bachelor is plausibly derived by some
authors from the words has chevalier, indicating the superiority
of the class of Knights Banneret who were created under the
royal standard displayed in open war.
Knights of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath. —
The practice of creating Knights with various ceremonies, of which
bathing was one, is undoubtedly a custom of considerable anti-
quity but the institution which now bears the name cannot be
;

traced as a State Order, regulated by statutes and ordinances,


xliv
TERMS RELATING TO RANKS AND TITLES

beyond the year 172o. The


close of the war led to a re-model-
ling of its constitution in 1815, and the long continuance of
peace produced an analogous result in 1H47. The new statutes
published in the latter year introduced the means of extensively
rewarding civil services, and, by abolishing a mass of al)surd or
conflicting ordinances, reduced the whole to a consistent and'
rational institution. It contains three classes, viz. Knights
Grand Cross, Knights Commander, and Companions. The latter
are not entitled to the prefix of " Sir," but the two former al-
ways receive the accolade. These three classes are eacli sub-
divided into three minor divisions, viz. Military, Civil and
Honorary. Services in the navy or army are rewarded by the
first of these minor divisions services in diplomacy, on tlie
;

bench, in high otticial stations. Sec, are acknowledged by the


second services rendered l)y foreign princes or officers are re-
;

warded by the third.


Lords Spiritcjal.^ — The Bishops collectively in their legislative-
capacities are called Lords Spiritual, as tlie other members of
the House of Peers are called Lords Temporal.
Marquess. —This title was unknown in England till Richard H..
created a Marquess of Dublin. It is said to derive its origin
from the word Marchio, Lord Marcher, whose duty it was to
guard the Welsh and Scottish frontiers, whicli were called
Marches. Till of late years it occurred very sparingly in the-
lists of Peers and even at present it furnishes the smallest num-
ber of any rank in the nobility.
Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St.
George. —This Order was established by letters patent in 1818,
and enlarged in 1832 and 1839 for the purpose of affording an
appropriate medium by which marks of royal favour might be-
conferred upon the natives of IMalta and the Ionian Islands, as
well as upon Britisli sulijects whose services ma> lie connected
with these dependencies of the Crown. It consists of tliree-

classes Knights Grand Cross, Kniglits Commander, and Com-
panions (substituted for Cavalieri in 1851). In 1809 the Queen
was pleased to sanction sucli a modification of the statutes of
this order, and sucli an enlargement of its numbers as to render
it available as a reward for distinguislied merit or service in anij

of the colonial possessions of the Empire. In 1879 and 1887


this Order of Kniglithood was still furtlier enlarged and new
statutes issued, and the numl)er of meml)ers is now uot to exceed
100 G.C.M.G., 300 K.C.M.G.. and 600 C.lNl.G., inclusive of tliose

xlv

assignable for foreign services, and honorary members, consisting


of foreign princes, &c.

Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire. This Order —


was instituted by the Queen on the 1st of January, 1878, to
commemorate the event of the proclamation of Her Majesty's
style and title of Empress of India in the Indian Dominions and
for the reward of important and useful services rendered to the
Indian Empire. It was enlarged in 188G again in 1887, on the
occasion of the first Jubilee, and again in 1911, and now consists
of the Sovereign, a Grand Master (Viceroy for the time being).
Knights Grand Commanders (not exceeding 40), Knights Com-
manders (not exceeding 120), and Companions (nominations not
to exceed 40 in any successive year); persons who by their services,
official or other, to the Empire in India, and such distinguished
representatives of Eastern Potentates as His Majesty may think
tit and eligible for appointment. The Councillors for and in the
Indian Empire are ex-officio and for life Companions of the Order.

Most Exalted Order of the Star of India. — This Order


was instituted by Queen Victoria in 18G1, and enlarged in 1866,
1876, 1897, 1902 and 1911 for the express purpose of rendering
high honour to conspicuous loyalty and merit in the princes,
chiefs and people of her Indian Empire. The Order consists of
the Sovereign, a Grand Master (the Viceroy of India), forty-four
Knights Grand Commanders one hundred Knights Commanders,
;

and two hundred Companions, e.xclusive of extra and honorary


members.
Most Illustrious Order of St. Patrick. —
This fraternity
of Knights was instituted 1783 as a national Order for Ireland,
in
corresponding to the Thistle in Scotland and the Garter in
England. The Lord Lieutenant, Lords Deputy, or Lord Justices
were appointed ex-officio Grand Masters, and the Order consists
of twenty-two Knights, in addition to which all persons who
have held the office of Lord-Lieutenant are authorized to retain
the insignia of the Order after they have retired from the
government of Ireland.

Most Noble Order of the Garter. The year 1848 is that
usually assigned as the date of the institution of this fraternity.
Popular tradition attrilmtes its foundation to the accident of a
lady's garter being picked up by Edward III. at a court festival,
Avhen he checked the mirth of bystanders by the exclamation
Honi soit qui mal y pense, and permanently converted a trivial
xlvi

TERMS RELATING TO RANKS AND TITLES

accident into a source of honour and distinction V>y founding; a


fraternity of Knights with that motto and the decoration of an
•embroidered garter. It consists of tlie Sovereign, the Prince of
Wales, twenty-five Knights Companions, and such lineal descend-
ants of George II. as may be elected extra Knights.

Order of the Crown of India was instituted on 1st January


1878 to commemorate the assumption by Queen Victoria of the
title of Empress of India. To consist of the Sovereign, Princesses
of the Eoyal and Imperial House, the wives or other female re-
latives of Indian princes, and of other Indian ladies the Sovereign
may think fit and also of the wives or other female relatives of
;

any of the persons who have held, now hold, or may hereafter
hold the offices of Viceroy of India and Governor-General of
India, Governor of Madras or Bombay, or of Principal Secretary
of State for India. The decoration consists of a badge and
the inscription V.R.I, on it.

Order op the Guelphs of Hanover. — This, though no


longer a British fraternity, enjoyed that distinction for nearly a
•quarter of a century, and Englishmen have more largely parti-
cipated in its honours than the natives of Hanover. It was
founded by George IV. in 1815, and consists of three classes
Knights Grand Cross, Knights Commander, Knights the latter, ;

however, in this country, have no otlier attribute of Knighthood


than the name, and correspond exactly to the Cavalieri or Com-
panions of other Orders but in Hanover they enjoy several
;

privileges.

The Order of the Hospital of St. John op Jerusalem,


incorporated by Royal Charter, 1888, under the title of the
" Grand Priory of the Order of the Hospital of St. Jolin of
Jerusalem in England," is the Englisli Laiujiu: or brancli of the
celebrated Order of the Knights of St. John, established at Je-
rusalem at the time of the 1st Crusade and was founded at
•Clerkenwell about 1100 A.D. It was suppressed by Elizal)cth,
and not revived until after the dispersal of the Order on the
capture of ^Nlalta by Buonaparte. Tlie liead of the fraternity is
the Sovereign, and the various grades are a (irand Prior, a Sub-
Prior, a titular Bailiff of Eagle, Honorary ]3ailitfs, Connnandors.
Knights and Eadies of Justice, Knights and Ladies of Grace,
Esquires, and Serving Brothers and Sisters. The Chancery of
the Order is in the gateway of the original Priory in Clerkenwell,
which is still standing.
.Nlvii

Order of Merit. —
Instituted by King Edward on his Corona-
tion, 1902,and consisting of one class of members, subjects of the
Crown, who have rendered exceptionally meritorious service in
the Navy and Army or towards the advancement of Art, Litera-
ture and Science, the number not to exceed twenty-four.*

Privy Councillor. — The Privy Council includes the responsi-


Crown, a few of the judges, some diplomatists,
ble ministers of the
and many peers and commoners distinguished in the public
service. In number it is unlimited. Under its authority many
acts are done, but the measures which pass under its name chiefly

proceed from its own sub-committees the Cabinet, the Judicial
Committee, the Board of Trade, Sec. Privy Councillors enjoy the-
title of Eight Honourable, and are ex-officio entitled to become
magistrates in every county without being required to possess
landed qualification. They also possess the privilege of the cntn'-e
at drawing rooms, levees, state balls, &c.

KOYAL Victorian Order.— This was created in 1896, for


bestowal by the Sovereign upon those subjects whose personal
services it might be desired to recognize, and any foreign princes

and persons upon whom the Sovereign may think fit to confer it.
It consists of five classes, Knights Grand Cross, Knights
Commander, Commanders, and members of the fourth and fifth
classes, who take precedence as indicated on pages 36 and 37.
The Royal Victorian Chain is decoration founded by King
Edward VII. in 1902, to be bestowed on special occasions.
Viscount. —This
is the most modern of all the ranks in the

Peerage. was introduced into England in 1440, and has


It
always been conferred by letters patent. The word vice-comes
had long been used to designate the sheriff of a county, and the
French modification of that term, viscount, was adopted when a
titular dignity was created, to which, however, no shadow of
official trust was assigned. It has never been largely conferred,,
and as a chief title does not at present constitute one-twentieth
of the English peerage in Ireland, however, it bears a much
;

larger proportion to the whole body, being about one-fifth.

• The recipients in 1902 were iate Earl Roberts, Visct. Wolseley, Visct.

Kitchener, Lord Rayleigh, Lord Kelvin, Lord Lister, Hon. Sir Henry
Keppel. Right Hon. John Morley, Right Hon. W. E. H. Lecky, Sir
