  Sir Joseph Fayrer - LoveToKnow 1911
From 1859 to 1872 he was professor of surgery at the Medical College of Calcutta, and when the prince of Wales made his tour in India he was appointed to accompany him as physician.
Returning from India, he acted as president of the Medical Board of the India office from 1874 to 1895, and in 1896 he was created a baronet.
Sir Joseph Fayrer, who became a fellow of the Royal Society in 1877, wrote much on subjects connected with the practice of medicine in India, and was especially known for his studies on the poisonous snakes of that country and on the physiological effects produced by their virus (Thanatophidia of India, 1872).

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: India
India consists of eight ecclesiastical provinces, seven of which are in the peninsula and the eighth in Ceylon.
India is rich in archælogical monuments of various kinds, and presents a remarkable variety of architectural works of highest excellence, embodying the history of the past.
In the last respect the Government of India cannot be said to be partial to Christians as compared with non-Christians; since it spends large sums of State money over a number of non-Christian religious edifices and institutions in continuance and perpetuation of the practice of their predecessors in the government of the country.

 India
India’s domesticated elephants are valuable not only for the work they perform but also as a future conservation tool against inbreeding or genetic drift in wild elephants.
India has a tradition of several thousands of years of keeping elephants and the region is the conventionally accepted birthplace of domestication.
In India livestock departments apparently (it is difficult to generalize across eleven states) presently play a very small role in treating elephants and no role in registering or managing domesticated elephants, the main reason simply being that they have never done so in the past.

 The 13th Hussars
BETWEEN the time of the arrival of the regiment in India on February 12, 1874, and the month of October 1880, when the 13th Hussars were ordered to Kandahar, there are very few events of importance to chronicle.
On January 6, 1874, the H Troop under the command of Captain Pole entrained for Portsmouth in charge of the baggage, and em­barked on board the Indian troopship H.M.S. Serapis the same day, the women and children of the regiment accompanying the party.
On arriving at the Camp on December 14, 1875, the regiment was attached to the 3rd Division, under the command of Major-General the Hon.

 Aden Protectorate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
British expansion into the area was designed to secure the important port that was, at the time, governed from British India.
From 1874, these protection arrangements existed with the tacit acceptance of the Ottoman Empire that maintained suzerainty over Yemen to the north and the polities became known collectively as the "Nine Tribes" or the "Nine Cantons."
In 1917, control of Aden Protectorate was transferred from the Government of India, which had inherited the British East India Company's interests on strategically important naval route from Europe to India, to the British Foreign Office.

 Review: British Foreign Policy 1874-1914: the Role of India/The Empire of the Raj
Mahajan’s presentation of the view of India from Whitehall is well complemented by Blyth’s presentation of the view from India (whether Calcutta, Delhi, or, to a lesser extent, Bombay) of what the governments there regarded as the sphere of interest and influence of the Raj itself.
Despite a chapter on ‘Persia and the Persian Gulf 1850-1914’ and a postscript on ‘India and the Persian Gulf 1928-48’, there is less – and less successful – coverage of the interests of the Government of India in the Gulf and in particular in Persia.
No mention is made, for instance, of the attitude of the authorities in India to the revival of the Trans-Persian Railway project, against which Curzon inveighed in the House of Lords, or the possibility of a branch from the Baghdad Railway into Persia proper.

 A Tribute to Hinduism - European Imperialism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
India has been invaded by many foreign faiths, only to be absorbed in the vast Indian humanity until the advent of Islam which spread more by its fire and sword and later Christianity by more subtle means of inducements and compulsions.
They taught that India was not one country, that it was a miscellany of people, that it had never known independence, that it had always been under the rule of foreign invaders.
The British who go to India to carry on the government never for a moment think of the country as home; it is merely their temporary tarrying place, their "inn".

 Language in India
Now-a-days no Hindu of Upper India dreams of writing in any language but Urdu or Hindi when he is writing prose; but when he takes to verse, he at once adopts one of the old national dialects as the Awadhi or Tulsi Das or the Braj Bhasha of the blind bard of Agra.
Similarly, in India the knowledge of Persian was limited to a small number of the people under the Muhammadan Kings, not chiefly because Persian was repellent, but for want of cheap books and for want of an organized attempt to spread it among the people.
In India it would be quite possible, for example, to widely spread a knowledge of English up to the Upper Primary Standard, say; that would not be changing the language of the people, but the attempt would be so expensive, and so utterly useless, that it is wise that nothing of the kind is done.

This alleged map of 1874, which was to draw a new demarcation line between Nepal and India, suddenly surfaced from Delhi in 1988 demanding immediate implementation.
Thus the existing state of relationship between India and Nepal is almost like that of the occupying power and the occupied nation.

 KASHMIR: The Storm Center of the World
The British rulers of India foresaw quite early the birth of national awakening of a different type than the one which had manifested itself in 1857, and formulated a set policy to checkmate it.
It was thus enunciated by Sir John Stratchey, one of the ablest British administrators in India in 1874, "The existence side by side of these (Hindu and Muslim) hostile creeds is one of the strong points in our political position in India.
According to the tentative plan it placed before Indian leaders for consideration, India was to be a federation in which the centre would have control over specific matters, including defense, foreign affairs and communications and the residual powers were to remain with the federating units.

The Jacobite Patriarch, Mar Peter, arrived in India in 1874 and during his three year stay, he divided the church into seven dioceses and consecrated new bishops naming them all Metropolitans.
