83 – The mythical Uncle Bunnu.
(http://www.indianmemoryproject.com/83/)
The Cordeiro Siblings. Alec (Bunnu), May and Beatrice. Karachi (now Pakistan). Circa 1910
Image and Text contributed by Naresh Fernandes (http://www.tajmahalfoxtrot.com/) , Author, Bombay
The picture, photographed sometime around 1910, is the childhood image of my grand-uncle Alec Cordeiro, fondly
called Bunnu. Next to him is my Grand-aunt May and my Grandmother Beatrice.
It isn’t clear when and how exactly my ancestors got to Karachi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karachi) , but it seems
that they’d been there for four generations. Like most Goans, they left looking for work: the Portuguese
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Goa) didn’t establish any industry in Goa, so hundreds and thousands had to
seek work in other places. There were sharp discussions in the family about whether our ancestor Santan Vaz had
made his money running a liquor distributorship or a booze joint.
My paternal great-grandfather, Xavier Cordeiro, was a postmaster general in Karachi. His son-in-law, my grandfather,
Alfred Fernandes, moved to Karachi from Burma during World War II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II) .
He’d been working for the Burma Railways and had to leave when the Japanese invaded
(http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/campaign_burma_japanese.html) in 1941. So he and his wife, my grandmother,
Beatrice (standing right), decided to return to their family’s home in Karachi. In only a few years, the entire family
pulled up their roots from the city in which they’d lived for four generations to take their chances in India, a few
months before Partition in 1947.
Though my father was only nine when the family left Karachi, his elder siblings had more vivid memories : trips
between Bombay and Karachi were made on ferries named the Saraswati and the Sabarmati (“they were like little
tubs, we all got seasick”) ; relatives having leisurely evenings at the Karachi Goan Association
(http://karachigoans.com/index.html) (KGA), “gin and lime was the favourite drink”, and the enterprising nature of the
Karachi Goan community -“they even owned a flour mill!” From my grandmother’s stories, it appeared that everyone in
the family had spent a lot of time at the KGA. After all, it was right opposite their bungalow in Depot Lines. That
bungalow, sold months before Partition, has long been replaced by a characterless block of apartments.

When we
were
children,
my cousins
and I could
have been
forgiven for
thinking
that our
greatuncle’s first
name was
“Poor”.
That, was
how my

grandmother and her sisters referred to their only brother each time he came up in conversation, “Ah, poor Bunnu,”

they’d sigh whenever someone mentioned their Cambridge-educated (http://www.cam.ac.uk/) sibling who’d chosen
to stay put in Karachi at Partition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_India) . The somewhat embarrassed tone
in which his three sisters talked about him left Bunnu obscured by a whiff of mystery—even scandal.
If there’s one thing I knew about Uncle Bunnu, it’s that he spent a great deal of time at the bar of KGA. Friends joked
that the committee of Karachi Goan Association had once made a decision to sack the chowkidar (guard). He wasn’t
really needed since Bunnu Cordeiro never seemed to leave the building.
When I finally made a visit to Karachi in November 2011, I met 92-year-old Rita de Souza. She’d been in school with
all three of my grand-relatives. She displayed all the discretion you’d expect of a woman of her breeding, but under
my badgering, was gradually lulled into talking about my great-uncle. “Ah, poor Bunnu,” she eventually sighed. “He
was quite a talker.” She let slip an anecdote relating to the time Bunnu was at Cambridge in the 1920s. “He was
disappointed in love,” Rita de Souza said. “He was quite keen on a woman when he was in England, but his mother
heard of it and made him exit the situation post-haste.” That’s all she remembered about him.
Others too remembered Bunnu. “He’d tell us about the libraries in Cambridge, where you’d have to maintain pin-drop
silence,” a third-cousin said. “‘What would happen if you had a cough?’ we’d ask. He’d reply, ‘If you had a cough,
courtesy would require that you didn’t visit the library.’”
At one recent family get-together, the conversation turned to Bunnu. It would be difficult to send mail over the border
after each India Pakistan war, so Bunnu’s letters were infrequent. But sometimes, perhaps to remind everyone of his
real name, Alec, he’d sign himself as “Sikander”—the sub-continental name for Alexander the Great. “He called his
three sisters ‘the gangsters’,” someone recalled. “When he was in England, they sent him a childhood photo of the
four of them and he said, ‘I’m not coming home. If I do, I’ll have to take care of them.’”
My aunt Margaret corroborated the story I’d been told in Karachi. Evidently, Bunnu had refused to return to Karachi
because he’d fallen in love with an Englishwoman. His mother, Mary, who wanted him to marry a Goan, was horrified.
She “picked up her skirts and took the next boat to England”. The conclave was divided on what happened next.
Either my great-grandmother “grabbed his ear and dragged him right back home” or “he sent her right home without
even allowing her a day to see the sights, but promised to return soon”. At any rate, Bunnu was back in Karachi by
the mid-1930s and would remain a KGA Bar fixture for the rest of his life.
Uncle Bunnu never married, held a job for long or seen his sisters after 1947. Later he moved into an old folks home
in Karachi. No one in the extended family seemed to have a recent photograph of him. I’d always held the impression
that Uncle Bunnu had drunk himself to death, but considering that he was 80 when he died, he didn’t do it very
efficiently. By the time he passed away in 1984, Bunnu had become more like a hazy myth to his younger Indian
relatives than a real person.
The old folks home in which Bunnu had spent his last years is located in one corner of Cincinnatus Town.
Cincinnatus Town was unnervingly familiar. Many of the older homes had been built in the 1930s, exactly at the time
the pocket of Bandra in which I live had been constructed and with the same coastal-city architectural features. Parts
of Garden East (Cincinnatus Town) resembled the now-demolished landscapes of my childhood. They were filled with
the kind of teakwood furniture you find in older Bombay homes and had identical Catholic iconography
(http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07625a.htm) . My ancestors, yes, they’d been dead for decades, but as we
discussed them in Bombay, six decades and 900 kms away, they were warm, breathing presences, as real and as
resolute as Karachi.

69 – The Princes and Princess of Wanaparthi, Andhra Pradesh
(http://www.indianmemoryproject.com/69/)

sons Krishna Dev Rao (left) and Ram Dev Rao (right) RIGHT IMAGE - Krishna Dev Rao (Left) with sister,

Images and Text contributed by Kamini Reddy, USA
My great grandfather Raja Rameshwar Rao II was the ruler and Raja of Wanaparthy, (seated) Hyderabad state, ruled
by the Nizam. In 1866, at the request of the Nizam of Hyderabad, my great grandfather fused his army, the Bison
Division Battalion with the Nizam of Hyderabad’s army, the Hyderabadi Battalion. He was appointed the Inspector of
the Army. Wanaparthi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanaparthi) ‘s rulers were closely associated with the Qutub
Shahi Dynasty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qutb_Shahi_dynasty) . My great grandfather died on November 22,1922
and was survived by two sons, Krishna Dev Rao and Ram Dev Rao.

Ram Dev
Rao (the
younger
boy in the
image) was
my

grandfather. He was the youngest son of the Raja of Wanaparthy, He had an older sister, Janamma, and elder brother
Krishna Dev. My grandfather used to say that he didn’t have much interaction with his father – it was quite a formal
relationship – and he only replied to him when spoken to.
Raja Rameshwar Rao II and his family strongly believed in education. When his sons were young, they were sent to
Hyderabad to attend St. George’s Grammar School (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._George) (an English medium
school). They stayed with a family (the Welingkars) during the school year and would go back to Wanaparthy for their
holidays. His daughter Janamma married when she was very young, to the Raja of Sirnapalli. After my great
grandfather passed away, his elder son Krishna Dev was still a minor, so the property was managed by the Court of
Wards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_Wards_and_Liveries) until he came of age. Krishna Dev though passed
away when he was only 20 years old and eventually his son Rameshwar Rao III inherited the title.
After the end of the British reign in India, The Nizam wanted to be independent of the Indian government, but the
government was determined to have Hyderabad succumb to acceding, with whatever means. Sure enough, the
government of India in 1948 launched a police action against Hyderabad, and forced the Nizam to accede to India and
surrender. Subsequent to the Hyderabad State’s merger with the Indian Union in 1948, all units of the Hyderabad
State Forces were disbanded and only volunteers of the Battalion were absorbed with the Indian Army. Popularly
known as the “Hyderabadis (http://www.avalanchepress.com/Indian_Pieces_1.php) ” in the Army, the unit had a
unique mixed class composition with no rank structure based on class. Troops celebrated both Hindu and Muslim
festivals together.

These are two photographs from My Grandfather Bert Scott’s family photographic archive. The photograph on the left,
of my Great Great Grandparents Edwin and Emily Scott was taken on Christmas day in 1925 at 3, Campbell road,
Richmond Town, Bangalore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangalore) , our family’s house which was one of the old
British Bungalows and has sadly like many of the rest, been demolished. On the old ground now stands St
Philomenas (http://www.stphilomenashospital.com/) hospital, right in the very heart of Bangalore.
On the right, are my great grandparents Algernon Edwin Scott and Desiree Leferve with my Grandfather, Bert Scott
as a two or three year old boy, the image was taken in 1919 in Cannanore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kannur) ,
Karnataka. (now Kannur and in the state of Kerala)
My family came to India in 1798 when James Scott Savory joined the East India Company

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_India_Company) as a writer of the Records of state. He was the second assistant

under the Collector of Krisnagearry (http://krishnagiri.nic.in/history.htm) (Krishnagiri). Edwin Ebenezer (left image) is
his great great grandson. From the church death records at St. Marks Cathedral (http://www.saintmarks.in) in
Bangalore it states that Edwin Ebenezer was the Assistant commisioner of Salt
(http://saltcomindia.gov.in/HistoryOfSalt.html?tp=html) in South India.
Bert Scott, (little boy on the right) was my Grandfather, and he was born in Bangalore in 1915. He went to Bishop
Cottons (http://www.bishopcottons.com/) school before he joined the Times of India
(http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/) in 1936 as a press photographer.
Son of Algernon Edwin Scott and Desiree Marie Louise Josephene Leferve, (she was the daughter of a French
professor of English from Pondicherry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puducherry) ). Algernon Scott (Bert’s father)
worked for the ‘Salt and Abkeri’ before he joined the army and went to Mesopatamia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia) region from 1916-1919. After Algernon Scott left Mesopotamia he then went
to the North West Frontier province (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NorthWest_Frontier_Province_%281901%E2%80%931955%29) until 1921 when he was discharged as Lieutenant. In 1925 he
joined Burmah Oil company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burmah_Oil) until 1933 he worked at Caltex
(http://www.caltex.com/) until the out break of War.
My Grandfather Bert Scott, whom I fondly call ‘Grandpa’, was mainly brought up by his Grandparents, this must have
been because his parents were away much of the time. He was educated at the famous ‘Eaton of the East’, Bishop
Cottons school in Bangalore and then at St. Joseph’s college in Cannanore on the way up to Ooty in the Nilgiri’

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nilgiri) s. In 1936 he took a job as a press photographer at the Times of India Newspaper

in Bombay where he worked until the out break of World War II. He initially joined up as a ‘Gunner’ but soon took the
Job as Head photographer for the Indian Army during the second world war where he worked out of GHQ New Delhi
(Now Parliament), His duties include photographing ceremonies and Japanese positions behind enemy lines in
Burma.
My grandfather married his Bride, Doll Miles at the church of redemption in New Delhi and 1943 and my Mother Anne
Scott was born later that year in Amritsar, Punjab, whilst he was away on active duty during the war. He was in
position on 14th August 1947 to photograph the hand over of Power and watched as the Mountbattens
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/mountbatten_lord_louis.shtml) left Vicregal lodge
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashtrapati_Bhavan) (now Rashtrapati Bhavan). During the troubles of partition, because
my family were Anglo Indian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Indian) , they fled from Delhi to Bombay, and then
took a ship to the new country of Pakistan where in November of that same year they left for a new life in the United
Kingdom.

52 – The only photograph of a Kashmiri Pandit family, who disbanded
due to ethnic cleansing (http://www.indianmemoryproject.com/52/)
The only photograph of a Kashmiri Pandit Extended Family. My grandmother, Tara Dhar, (second from
right in the top row), my grandfather Raghunath Dhar (fourth from right in the same row) Between them
is my great grandmother, Sokhmal Dhar. Vicharnag, Srinagar, Kashmir. Circa 1915
Image and text contributed by Anil Dhar, Mumbai
This picture is of a Kashmiri Pandit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashmiri_Pandit) family of Vicharnag
(http://ikashmir.net/chanderbhat/vicharnag.html) , a small village that is situated on the outskirts of Srinagar, Kashmir.
Vicharnag, when translated means “the spring of contemplation”, has an ancient centuries-old temple complex and
there were at one time several Pandit families living here for many centuries.
The family pictured here is the extended Dhar family, one of the few Pandit families in this predominantly Muslim
neighborhood. Perhaps this is the first photograph ever taken in Vicharnag. And as it turned out, also the last.
The headgear of the senior male members was different from the junior male members. Also, the women were not in
purdah, displaying some of the liberal social and cultural aspects of the community at the time. The family does not
exist in Vicharnag anymore, after several migrations which took place in 1947 and then again in 1990 because of
mass massacres (http://www.shehjar.com/content/1537/1.html) and murderous assaults by terrorists on the
Pandits. Their derelict temple complex and abandoned houses, now occupied by squatters, are the only memory of
the community having lived here.
My grandmother, Tara Dhar, is the lady second from right in the top last row. And my grandfather Raghunath Dhar is

Between
them is my
great

grandmother Sokhmal Dhar. Most of the family’s descendants are now all over the globe and today, Vicharnag has no
pandits living there anymore.

Devulapalli Krishna Sastry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devulapalli_Krishnasastri) is seated last on the right (on the
chair). He was married to the daughter of my father’s paternal uncle. My paternal grandfather, Gadepally Venkata
Sastry was in the service of Pithapuram Raja. He was a Sanskrit Scholar and a Trustee of the famous Sri
Kukkuteswara Swami temple in Pithapuram, in which lies an incarnation of the lord Shiva, in form of a Kuk k utam, a
‘Cock fowl’. He wrote in Sanskrit a Stotram (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva_mahimna_stotram) , in praise of
Kuk k utam, which my mother got published in 1990. My grandfather passed away by the time this photo was taken
and my grandmother is seen herein (middle, standing) as a widow, wearing the traditional white dress covering her
hairless head.

This photo was taken at the wedding of my parents. My Father, Dr. Gadepally Subbarayudu was a medical doctor.
My mother, Venkata Ratnalamma was a housewife and studied only upto 5th class, but was a well-read person
subsequently. I, Gadepally Kameswara Rao, am their second child, a graduate in Medicine and a post-graduate in
Public Health. My wife, late Lakshmi Devi, nee Mokkarala, was a housewife. I served in private institutions, the
Andhra Pradesh State government and the Army Medical Corps. I was born on July 23, 1932, and am now 78 years
old .

22 – She was the epitome of style and sophistication
(http://www.indianmemoryproject.com/22-2/)
My mother (center) Maya Shivdasani, with her parents, Dr Manghanmal Kripalani, an eminent physician
and Sarsati Kripalani, Hyderabad Sind, 1939
Image and text contributed by Usha Bhandarkar
My mother Maya Shivdasani is now 90 year old of age. She was born in Hyderabad Sind in 1919 and came to
Bombay after her marriage in 1937. After her marriage in 1937 Maya moved to Bombay but would visit her parents in
Hyderabad Sind (Now Pakistan) at least twice a year. This photograph was taken on one of her visits to Hyderabad
where she was the epitome of style and sophistication: sleeveless sari blouse, short hair, long, painted fingernails.
She has lived in Cuffe Parade all these 73 years, read the Times of India every single day and visits the Cricket Club
of India once a week. One of her favourite haunts is the Sea Lounge at the Taj Mahal Hotel. She was truly saddened
to see it damaged in the Mumbai attacks of 2008. On the day the Sea Lounge reopened she was there sitting at a

(http://www.indianmemoryproject.com/83/) The Cordeiro Siblings. Alec (Bunnu), May and Beatrice. Karachi (now Pakistan). Circa 1910 Image and Text contributed by Naresh Fernandes (http://www.tajmahalfoxtrot.com/) , Author, Bombay The picture, photographed sometime around 1910, is the childhood image of my grand-uncle Alec Cordeiro, fondly called Bunnu. Next to him is my Grand-aunt May and my Grandmother Beatrice. It isn’t clear when and how exactly my ancestors got to Karachi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karachi) , but it seems that they’d been there for four generations. Like most Goans, they left looking for work: the Portuguese (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Goa) didn’t establish any industry in Goa, so hundreds and thousands had to seek work in other places. There were sharp discussions in the family about whether our ancestor Santan Vaz had made his money running a liquor distributorship or a booze joint. My paternal great-grandfather, Xavier Cordeiro, was a postmaster general in Karachi. His son-in-law, my grandfather, Alfred Fernandes, moved to Karachi from Burma during World War II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II) . He’d been working for the Burma Railways and had to leave when the Japanese invaded (http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/campaign_burma_japanese.html) in 1941. So he and his wife, my grandmother, Beatrice (standing right), decided to return to their family’s home in Karachi. In only a few years, the entire family pulled up their roots from the city in which they’d lived for four generations to take their chances in India, a few months before Partition in 1947. Though my father was only nine when the family left Karachi, his elder siblings had more vivid memories : trips between Bombay and Karachi were made on ferries named the Saraswati and the Sabarmati (“they were like little tubs, we all got seasick”) ; relatives having leisurely evenings at the Karachi Goan Association (http://karachigoans.com/index.html) (KGA), “gin and lime was the favourite drink”, and the enterprising nature of the Karachi Goan community -“they even owned a flour mill!” From my grandmother’s stories, it appeared that everyone in the family had spent a lot of time at the KGA. After all, it was right opposite their bungalow in Depot Lines. That bungalow, sold months before Partition, has long been replaced by a characterless block of apartments. www.indianmemoryproject.com/tag/1910s/#sthash.cSrkgomV.dpbs 1/28
  • 2. 12/19/13 1910s :: Indian Memory Project When we were children, my cousins and I could have been forgiven for thinking that our greatuncle’s first name was “Poor”. That, was how my grandmother and her sisters referred to their only brother each time he came up in conversation, “Ah, poor Bunnu,” www.indianmemoryproject.com/tag/1910s/#sthash.cSrkgomV.dpbs 2/28
  • 3. 12/19/13 1910s :: Indian Memory Project they’d sigh whenever someone mentioned their Cambridge-educated (http://www.cam.ac.uk/) sibling who’d chosen to stay put in Karachi at Partition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_India) . The somewhat embarrassed tone in which his three sisters talked about him left Bunnu obscured by a whiff of mystery—even scandal. If there’s one thing I knew about Uncle Bunnu, it’s that he spent a great deal of time at the bar of KGA. Friends joked that the committee of Karachi Goan Association had once made a decision to sack the chowkidar (guard). He wasn’t really needed since Bunnu Cordeiro never seemed to leave the building. When I finally made a visit to Karachi in November 2011, I met 92-year-old Rita de Souza. She’d been in school with all three of my grand-relatives. She displayed all the discretion you’d expect of a woman of her breeding, but under my badgering, was gradually lulled into talking about my great-uncle. “Ah, poor Bunnu,” she eventually sighed. “He was quite a talker.” She let slip an anecdote relating to the time Bunnu was at Cambridge in the 1920s. “He was disappointed in love,” Rita de Souza said. “He was quite keen on a woman when he was in England, but his mother heard of it and made him exit the situation post-haste.” That’s all she remembered about him. Others too remembered Bunnu. “He’d tell us about the libraries in Cambridge, where you’d have to maintain pin-drop silence,” a third-cousin said. “‘What would happen if you had a cough?’ we’d ask. He’d reply, ‘If you had a cough, courtesy would require that you didn’t visit the library.’” At one recent family get-together, the conversation turned to Bunnu. It would be difficult to send mail over the border after each India Pakistan war, so Bunnu’s letters were infrequent. But sometimes, perhaps to remind everyone of his real name, Alec, he’d sign himself as “Sikander”—the sub-continental name for Alexander the Great. “He called his three sisters ‘the gangsters’,” someone recalled. “When he was in England, they sent him a childhood photo of the four of them and he said, ‘I’m not coming home. If I do, I’ll have to take care of them.’” My aunt Margaret corroborated the story I’d been told in Karachi. Evidently, Bunnu had refused to return to Karachi because he’d fallen in love with an Englishwoman. His mother, Mary, who wanted him to marry a Goan, was horrified. She “picked up her skirts and took the next boat to England”. The conclave was divided on what happened next. Either my great-grandmother “grabbed his ear and dragged him right back home” or “he sent her right home without even allowing her a day to see the sights, but promised to return soon”. At any rate, Bunnu was back in Karachi by the mid-1930s and would remain a KGA Bar fixture for the rest of his life. Uncle Bunnu never married, held a job for long or seen his sisters after 1947. Later he moved into an old folks home in Karachi. No one in the extended family seemed to have a recent photograph of him. I’d always held the impression that Uncle Bunnu had drunk himself to death, but considering that he was 80 when he died, he didn’t do it very efficiently. By the time he passed away in 1984, Bunnu had become more like a hazy myth to his younger Indian relatives than a real person. The old folks home in which Bunnu had spent his last years is located in one corner of Cincinnatus Town. Cincinnatus Town was unnervingly familiar. Many of the older homes had been built in the 1930s, exactly at the time the pocket of Bandra in which I live had been constructed and with the same coastal-city architectural features. Parts of Garden East (Cincinnatus Town) resembled the now-demolished landscapes of my childhood. They were filled with the kind of teakwood furniture you find in older Bombay homes and had identical Catholic iconography (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07625a.htm) . My ancestors, yes, they’d been dead for decades, but as we discussed them in Bombay, six decades and 900 kms away, they were warm, breathing presences, as real and as resolute as Karachi. An unedited version of this narrative can be found here (http://www.livemint.com/Leisure/Zx1be05TSk58fbeSorbmGM/Roots--The-Goan-theory-of-relativity.html) . www.indianmemoryproject.com/tag/1910s/#sthash.cSrkgomV.dpbs 3/28

Wanaparthi, Andhra Pradesh. Circa 1912 Images and Text contributed by Kamini Reddy, USA My great grandfather Raja Rameshwar Rao II was the ruler and Raja of Wanaparthy, (seated) Hyderabad state, ruled by the Nizam. In 1866, at the request of the Nizam of Hyderabad, my great grandfather fused his army, the Bison Division Battalion with the Nizam of Hyderabad’s army, the Hyderabadi Battalion. He was appointed the Inspector of the Army. Wanaparthi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanaparthi) ‘s rulers were closely associated with the Qutub Shahi Dynasty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qutb_Shahi_dynasty) . My great grandfather died on November 22,1922 and was survived by two sons, Krishna Dev Rao and Ram Dev Rao. www.indianmemoryproject.com/tag/1910s/#sthash.cSrkgomV.dpbs 5/28
  • 6. 12/19/13 1910s :: Indian Memory Project Ram Dev Rao (the younger boy in the image) was my grandfather. He was the youngest son of the Raja of Wanaparthy, He had an older sister, Janamma, and elder brother Krishna Dev. My grandfather used to say that he didn’t have much interaction with his father – it was quite a formal relationship – and he only replied to him when spoken to. Raja Rameshwar Rao II and his family strongly believed in education. When his sons were young, they were sent to Hyderabad to attend St. George’s Grammar School (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._George) (an English medium school). They stayed with a family (the Welingkars) during the school year and would go back to Wanaparthy for their holidays. His daughter Janamma married when she was very young, to the Raja of Sirnapalli. After my great grandfather passed away, his elder son Krishna Dev was still a minor, so the property was managed by the Court of Wards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_Wards_and_Liveries) until he came of age. Krishna Dev though passed away when he was only 20 years old and eventually his son Rameshwar Rao III inherited the title. After the end of the British reign in India, The Nizam wanted to be independent of the Indian government, but the government was determined to have Hyderabad succumb to acceding, with whatever means. Sure enough, the government of India in 1948 launched a police action against Hyderabad, and forced the Nizam to accede to India and surrender. Subsequent to the Hyderabad State’s merger with the Indian Union in 1948, all units of the Hyderabad State Forces were disbanded and only volunteers of the Battalion were absorbed with the Indian Army. Popularly known as the “Hyderabadis (http://www.avalanchepress.com/Indian_Pieces_1.php) ” in the Army, the unit had a unique mixed class composition with no rank structure based on class.

He was the second assistant under the Collector of Krisnagearry (http://krishnagiri.nic.in/history.htm) (Krishnagiri). Edwin Ebenezer (left image) is his great great grandson. From the church death records at St. Marks Cathedral (http://www.saintmarks.in) in Bangalore it states that Edwin Ebenezer was the Assistant commisioner of Salt (http://saltcomindia.gov.in/HistoryOfSalt.html?tp=html) in South India. Bert Scott, (little boy on the right) was my Grandfather, and he was born in Bangalore in 1915. He went to Bishop Cottons (http://www.bishopcottons.com/) school before he joined the Times of India (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/) in 1936 as a press photographer. Son of Algernon Edwin Scott and Desiree Marie Louise Josephene Leferve, (she was the daughter of a French professor of English from Pondicherry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puducherry) ). Algernon Scott (Bert’s father) worked for the ‘Salt and Abkeri’ before he joined the army and went to Mesopatamia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia) region from 1916-1919. After Algernon Scott left Mesopotamia he then went to the North West Frontier province (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NorthWest_Frontier_Province_%281901%E2%80%931955%29) until 1921 when he was discharged as Lieutenant. In 1925 he joined Burmah Oil company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burmah_Oil) until 1933 he worked at Caltex (http://www.caltex.com/) until the out break of War. My Grandfather Bert Scott, whom I fondly call ‘Grandpa’, was mainly brought up by his Grandparents, this must have been because his parents were away much of the time. He was educated at the famous ‘Eaton of the East’, Bishop Cottons school in Bangalore and then at St. Joseph’s college in Cannanore on the way up to Ooty in the Nilgiri’ www.indianmemoryproject.com/tag/1910s/#sthash.cSrkgomV.dpbs 9/28

He initially joined up as a ‘Gunner’ but soon took the Job as Head photographer for the Indian Army during the second world war where he worked out of GHQ New Delhi (Now Parliament), His duties include photographing ceremonies and Japanese positions behind enemy lines in Burma. My grandfather married his Bride, Doll Miles at the church of redemption in New Delhi and 1943 and my Mother Anne Scott was born later that year in Amritsar, Punjab, whilst he was away on active duty during the war. He was in position on 14th August 1947 to photograph the hand over of Power and watched as the Mountbattens (http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/mountbatten_lord_louis.shtml) left Vicregal lodge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashtrapati_Bhavan) (now Rashtrapati Bhavan). During the troubles of partition, because my family were Anglo Indian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Indian) , they fled from Delhi to Bombay, and then took a ship to the new country of Pakistan where in November of that same year they left for a new life in the United Kingdom.

Vicharnag, Srinagar, Kashmir. Circa 1915 Image and text contributed by Anil Dhar, Mumbai This picture is of a Kashmiri Pandit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashmiri_Pandit) family of Vicharnag (http://ikashmir.net/chanderbhat/vicharnag.html) , a small village that is situated on the outskirts of Srinagar, Kashmir. Vicharnag, when translated means “the spring of contemplation”, has an ancient centuries-old temple complex and there were at one time several Pandit families living here for many centuries. The family pictured here is the extended Dhar family, one of the few Pandit families in this predominantly Muslim neighborhood. Perhaps this is the first photograph ever taken in Vicharnag. And as it turned out, also the last. The headgear of the senior male members was different from the junior male members. Also, the women were not in purdah, displaying some of the liberal social and cultural aspects of the community at the time. The family does not exist in Vicharnag anymore, after several migrations which took place in 1947 and then again in 1990 because of mass massacres (http://www.shehjar.com/content/1537/1.html) and murderous assaults by terrorists on the Pandits. Their derelict temple complex and abandoned houses, now occupied by squatters, are the only memory of the community having lived here.
