The first number gives the page, the second the line of the page, on which the word will be found. A.-ANGLO-INDIAN TERMS. (1) The East India Company (1600-1858) had its headquarters at the India House in Leadenhall Street (20. 23). It was managed by the Governor and Board of Directors (47. 21), elected annually by the holders of East India Stock (47.27). The Court of Proprietors (47. 23), consisting of all holders of £500 stock, could be summoned at a crisis as a Court of final reference. Lord North's Regulating Act, 1773 (31. 26) subordinated the other two Presidencies to the Governor-General of Bengal, himself controlled by a Council and Supreme Court, named by the Crown. Pitt's East India Bill, 1784, added a Board of Control under a Secretary of State, named by the Crown, to control the Directors at home (16. 10). The Company's servants were known as Writers (7. 1) Senior and Junior Merchants. A Factor was the head of a Factory (7. 36) or place of trade (not a manufactory). Agents were appointed in distant towns. Their pay being small they also traded on their own account. This system was gradually altered in this period as tending to grave abuses. To these, after Clive's Diwáni, were added Judges and Collectors of revenue (122. 26). A Resident (9. 2) was a British Minister at a Native Court. A Settlement was a town at which the English lived protected by a Fort (7. 12), garrisoned mainly by Sepoy (native) troops (18. 24). Cantonment (73. 26), the lines inhabited by a garrison. The Factories were grouped into three Presidencies (16. 33), Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, each under a Governor (8. 9), and Council (9. 5) of four members. (2) The Emperor (Padishah) (26. 19), or the Mogul (7. 29), had ruled over the Mogul Empire from Delhi (15. 23), but was now an exile at Allahabad (25. 5). Viceroy (Subahdar) and Nabob (15. 27), (Nawab) had been his lieutenants, ruling provinces, but were now independent. The Nizam ruled at Hyderabad; the Nawab Wazir in Oudh. (3) Money. Rupee, 2s.; lac (23. 29), 100,000 rupees, £10,000; crore (117. 5), 100 lacs, £1,000,000; pagoda (12. 30), 3 rupees; gold mohur, 10 rupees, £1 (20. 7). (4) Religion. The Hindoo religion (19. 28) is pantheistic. One Supreme Being is believed in, who has many distinct aspects and manifestations, benignant and malignant (122. 29) which can be multiplied at the worshipper's will. Idols are worshipped as symbols of these. The Hindoos are divided into Castes, marking social and religious precedence. Each man wears the mark of his caste (99. 24) painted on his forehead. The highest caste is that of the Brahmins (42. 22) or priests, who, however, may follow other professions. Sanscrit (26. 11) is the language of their sacred books. A Pundit (87. 31) is one skilled in Sanscrit lore. The Mussulman (19. 22) is the follower of Mahomet, the Koran is his bible, Mecca (99. 20) his sacred city. His religion is pure Monotheism. The churches are called Mosques (99. 20) in which the Imaum (leader) recites the prayers. A Dervish, or fakir, is a member of a religious order, often a mendicant (66. 18). (5) General. Aumil (117. 5) a native agent. Bang (53. 3) an intoxicating drug made from hemp. Bazar (99. 34) a street of native shops. Begum (76. 35) a princess. Cuddy (122. 9) the saloon of an Indiaman (91. 12) or Company's ship trading to India. Haram (7. 31) the zenana or women's apartments.
