MADRAS PRESIDENCY.
Banganapalle.
The present ruler of the Banganapalle State. Nawab Mir Ghulam
Ali Khan Bahadur, son of the late Nawab Saiyid Fateh Ali Khan
Bahadur, c.s.i., was educated at Banganapalle and Kurnool. He
succeeded to the (/ad di of his ancestors and was installed formally by
H. E. Sir Arthur Lawley, g.c.t.e., K.C.M.G., the then Governor of
Madras, on the 19th December, 1908. He is 47 years of age. His
father Saiyid Fateh Ali Khan Bahadur died on the 22nd April, 1905.
The present ruler was carefully trained in administrative work,
by a European member of the Indian Civil Service, Mr. J. C. Molony,
who took the keenest interest in the well-being of the State and its
ruler. With regard to the attainments of the Nawab in statecraft,
Mr. Molony, in his report for the year 1907-8, says: “Throughout
this report will be found indications of the personal interest taken by
the Nawab in the government of Banganapalle ; commencing with
the duties of a Sub-Magistrate he has gradually taken over the
general superintendence of poetically all executive and judicial work
throughout the State.”
Under this young and enlightened ruler the State has progressed
to a considerable extent and many new reforms have been introduced.
The finances of the State are in a most encouraging state and the
balance is increasing year after year.
The Nawab was granted His Majesty’s commission in the
Indian land forces during the year 1918 and underwent military
training in Madras for about two months from December, 1918. The
