1935-04-02T00:00:00Z

The India Office List for 1935 The Government of India A new arrangement w s adopted for the 1934 edition of the India Office List. Previously, the lists of Officers serving in India were grouped together and followed the list of officers serving in the Office of th e High Commissioner for India, a separate section, containing general information in regard to India, the several provinces and minor administrations and the Indian States, appearing after the section devoted to Rules and Regulations. In the present volume, as in the last edition, the list of officers serving under the Government of India is preceded* b y general information relating to India as a whole, -and the reafte r separate sections are devo ted to each Province (or minor administration) consisting of a brief n arra tive concerning the Province and a list of the officers serving in the Province. A separate section, containing information relating to the Indian States, appears on pages 153 to 161. This volume has been corrected, as far as possible, up to the 1st of January, 1935. may be explained that the lists of Officers serving in India are compiled from the Civil Lists of the Government of India and the Provincial Governments published, either half-yearly or quarterly, in 1934, while the records of these officers given in Record Of Services Section (pages 495 to 942) are based on the corresponding Histories of Services published in Ju ly last. Late r information received as to changes occurring up to the 1s t January last has, however, been used in the compilation of these sections. In the lists o f Officers serving in India only substantive appointments are, »as a rule, shown; the lists contain the names of all members of the All- India Services and the Indian Political Department, of Chaplains on the Indian Ecycle statistical Establishment, and of other officers drawing substantive ay of not less than Rs. 1,000 a month. The names shown in italics are those of Officers who' are on long leave, on leave pending retirement, in foreign service, supernumerary, seconded, or employed outside their own departments. Indian names in the lists of officers are indexed as in the Civil Lists. As a general rule, the last name is treated as a surname in the case of Hindus and the first in the case of Muhammadans. To meet the difficulty that arises from the lack of uniformity in India in the use of surnames, Indian names are in doubtful cases twice indexed, and cross-references are made in the Kaiser-i-Hind and Alphabetical Honours lists and in the Record of Services. Rulers of Sta te s are shown under the names of their States. T he principle of selection followed in the Record of Services is explained on page 493-The " In d e x -of Subjects and Appointments ” is on page iv to x vi, and the “ Index of Names ” on page 953 et seq. Unless they appear elsewhere in the volume, names in the lists relating to the Indian Orders (pages 193 to 216) and the Kaisar-i-Hind Medal (pages 216 to 226), the Alph ab e tical Honours L is t (pages 227 to 274), and in the Record of Services (pages 495 to 942) are omitted from the Index of Names.
