Brevet

[[Category:Military ranks]]

'''Brevet'''. An officer was generally promoted within the corps in which he served in accordance with his seniority and any vacancy within that corps due to transfer, retirement or death. Certain officers were, however, deemed worthy of a higher rank by virtue of long and/or distinguished service but were unable to be granted it due to the lack of vacancy. Accordingly, a Commander-in-Chief was empowered to issue a letter (French word, ‘Brevet') granting him ‘Brevet' Rank within the Army at large. Generally, this conferred with it the uniform and right to command of the ‘higher' rank.

Rail gauge

2010-05-28T08:23:53Z

Johnkendall:

[[Image:Gauge EN.jpg|thumb|right|Rail gauge]]'''Rail gauge''', sometimes track gauge, is the distance between the inner sides of the two parallel rails that make up a single railway line. Sixty percent of the world's railways use a '''standard gauge''' of 1,435 mm (4' 8½" in). Wider gauges are called '''broad gauge'''; smaller gauges, '''narrow gauge'''. '''Break-of-gauge''' refers to a place where different gauges meet; sometimes this may involve '''transhipment''' and there may be extensive sheds to facilitate this. Some stretches of track are dual or mixed gauge, with three (or sometimes four) rails in place of the usual two, to allow trains of two or more different gauges to share the same path. Gauge conversion can be used to reduce break-of-gauge situations.
[[Image:Project Unigauge India.jpg|thumb|right|Comparison of the four different gauges common in India with UIC standard gauge which is not in railway use in India]]

==History==
=====Broad Gauge=====
The first gauge used in India was one of 5' 6" (1676mm), settled upon in the belief that it offered greater stability in the face of Indian weather and the perceived threat of cyclonic winds, and offered economies in freight haulage.
=====Metre Gauge=====
In 1868, a decision was taken to permit the introduction of a smaller gauge in order to increase quickly the construction of railways in India.
=====Narrow Gauge=====
Later, two even narrower gauges (2' and 2' 6") were allowed to be used for feeder lines.
=====Gauge conversion=====
Following the introduction of the metre gauge, the GOI occasionally allowed existing broad gauge lines to be converted to metre gauge and ''vice versa'' where expedient.
=====Transhipment=====
Despite four Commissions of Inquiry, the GOI did little te resolve the continuing problem of transhipment wherever there was a break-of-gauge.

==Project Unigauge==
Starting about 1980, Indian Railways resolved to convert its legacy of metre and narrow gauge lines to broad gauge standards. This project is ongoing.

Indian Railway Classification

2010-05-28T08:22:37Z

Johnkendall:

Beginning in the 1920s and for statistical purposes, the Government of India classified Indian railway systems according to three classes:-

; Class I
: Railways with gross annual earnings of over Rs 50 lakhs (Rs 50,00,000).1
; Class II
: Railways with gross annual earnings of between Rs 10 and 50 lakhs.
; Class III
: Railways with gross annual earnings of under Rs 10 lakhs.

No further reclassification was carried out after 1942 but the rankings remained in use until the mid-1950s.

----
1 ''Lakh'' in the Indian numbering system equates to one hundred thousand and is written as 1,00,000. 50 lakh (50,00,000) is the same as 5 million.

Johnkendall:

The continued slow pace and high cost of railway construction during the 1860s convinced the then Viceroy, Sir John Lawrence, that [[metre gauge]] offered significant advantages over [[broad gauge]], such that the speed of laying track could be increased while driving down its cost. Also, that the only way to resolve the lack of risk capital was by direct Government involvement. Thus emerged the concept of the '''State Railway''' in the early 1870s - planned, built and run by the Government of India (GOI).

Annual figures for track mileage constuction began to increase but further famines during the late 1870s (which struck at the GOI's ability to raise taxes) and the cost of the Second Afghan War again highlighted the need for further change. Once more, the British Government in Westminster sought to attract [[:Category:Private Railways|private capital]], and, if that failed, to provide [[:Category:Assisted Railways|direct assistance]]. At the same time, and in an effort to reduce the load on the Imperial budget, the GOI began to encourage the various independent Princely States to come forward with their own [[:Category:Indian States Railways|railway schemes]].

In one sense, all the railways in British India could be said to be 'assisted'. From the first experimental lines, the GOI provided all the land needed for the trackbed once a projected line had been surveyed and agreed to. In return for this concession, the GOI had insisted on a contractual clause allowing the GOI to assume ownership after 25 years. The East Indian Railway's agreement was due for renewal in 1874 but extended for five years. When it fell due again in 1879, the GOI exercised its option to acquire the line but chose not to pass the operation of the line to the Railway Branch. Instead it caused the EIR to be re-formed as a management company and promptly contracted the new company to operate the EIR. Thus was born the state-owned but privately worked railway which dominated the period 1880-1925.

Johnkendall:

From 1862, the Government (both in Calcutta and in Westminster) began to seek the construction of railways in India on terma more favourable (to Government) than those of the original guarantee, and to induce private investors to undertake construction at their own risk and expense. The modified terms available offered land free of cost and an operating subsidy specified for a period of time.

Two companies commenced works under these altered arrangements but the terms proved too onerous and the [[Indian Tramway]] Company paid the ultimate price of liquidation in 1870. Three years previously, in 1867, the [[Indian Branch Railway]] Company sought assistance from the Government of India (GOI) and was offered a contract with terms similar to (but less generous than) the original [[:Category:Guaranteed Railways|guaranteed companies]]. This new deal became the model for subsequent [[:Category:Assisted Railways|assisted railways]] although it did not stop the GOI from again encouraging the formation of further private railways between 1880-1882.

However, before then, as the 1860s drew to a close, famine in [[Orissa]] and drought in [[Rajputana]] drew attention to the continued slow pace and high cost of railway construction. The first change in policy since 1850 saw the emergence of the [[:Category:State Railways|'State Railway']].

Johnkendall:

When India became independent in 1947, there were 42 rail systems operating in what had been British India. Many of these were already owned by government; others, notably those owned by, or operated for the Indian Princely States, were gradually nationalised as the new nation incorporated the latter into the Union.

Rationalisation and reorganisation there was e.g. the [[Saurashtra Railway]] was created in Gujerat by merging the several small systems that operated there, but the major systems e.g. [[East Indian Railway]] by and large continued as they had previously save for the replacement of British General Managers by their Indian subordinates.

== Zonal Grouping ==

On 14 April 1951, a new grouping, or zone, called [[Southern Railway]] was formed from the merger of the [[Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway]], the [[South Indian Railway]] and the [[Mysore State Railway]]. This was followed in November 1951 by the creation of two further zones, [[Central Railway]] and [[Western Railway]]. Further mergers in 1952 took the total number of zones to 6 since when the number has grown to 16. These are shown below.

Category:Guaranteed Railways

2010-05-28T08:12:33Z

Johnkendall:

The '''Guaranteed Railways''' were the original railway companies which, from 1850, began to construct, and then work, the first railways in India. At first, progress was slow, with the Court of Directors of the [[East India Company]] (EIC) evincing their lack of vision in authorising just three "experimental" lines, one for each of the three Presidencies, and totalling all of 192 miles of track. The three companies involved were the [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway]], the [[East Indian Railway]] and the [[Madras Railway]] and were characterised by each being a British company, registered in London, privately owned and financed, operating under license and guarantee from the (British) [[Board of Control]] and the EIC.

In 1853, the Governor-General, Dalhousie, who had already acquired experience of railway regulation as President of the (UK) Board of Trade, recommended that a system of arterial trunk lines be rapidly proceeded with. These would connect the interior of each Presidency with its principal port, and the three Presidencies with each other. The proposed routes were:
*a line from [[Calcutta]] to [[Lahore]];
*a line from [[Bombay]] to Hindustan or alternatively, a line from Bombay to a point mid-way on the Calcutta-Lahore line;
*a line from [[Bombay]] to [[Madras]]; and
*a line from Madras to the Malabar Coast.

These proposals were accepted by the Court of Directors which then began to contract with the three existing companies and with further companies for the delivery of Dalhousie's vision.

From 1858, authority passed to the Secretary of State for India but by 1862, the Government of India was beginning to question the generosity shown to British investors at the expense of Indian taxpayers. No new lines were promoted under the terms of the original guarantee and every encouragement was given to [[:Category:Private Railways|private investors]] to construct railways at their own risk and cost.

Johnkendall:

The three small railways itemised below were never owned by the (British) Government of India because their tracks were situated in foreign enclaves.

However, all three came to be operated as part of wider systems and therefore were regularly reported upon. In due course, they became part of Indian Railways (although that process was not necessarily smooth).

===Other records===
''Bengal Past and Present: Journal of the Calcutta Historical Society'', available at the [[British Library]] has a list of burials based on the original registers in Calcutta, two articles written by Rev W. K. Firminger. They are probably mostly covered by the Ecclesiastical Returns in the B.L., however there may be some additional entries which never made it to England (e.g. the ship carrying the returns to England was lost). There are also some biographical details.

East India Company

2010-02-19T13:59:44Z

Johnkendall:

The '''East India Company''' (EIC) was also known as the '''Honourable East India Company''' (HEIC) and '[[John Company]]'. It was a joint-stock company that was granted an English Royal Charter on December 31, 1600 by Elizabeth I. The British East India Company started out as a commercial trading venture, but grew in strength and eventually virtually ruled India until the [[Indian Mutiny]] in 1857.

|'''How to add information to the FIBIWiki'''
Have a play and try adding some content. It's really easy, all you do is click on the '''edit''' tab at the top of the page you want to edit, or click on one of the links which is coloured purple on any of the pages - which means that page doesn't exist yet. Then just type what you want to appear on the web page.

There is some specialist syntax for formatting the text, for example to create a 3rd level heading called
===Regiments===
you simply write
<nowiki>===Regiments===</nowiki>.

To create a link to another page you just surround the word with [[ ]]. For example to link to the [[Indian Navy]] page you type <nowiki>[[Indian Navy]]</nowiki>.

To create a bulleted list just precede every item by an asterisk. For example type:

<nowiki>*</nowiki>first 
<nowiki>*</nowiki>second 
<nowiki>*</nowiki>third 

and it will appear on the web page as:
*first
*second
*third

See, I told you it was easy.

A short crib sheet for formatting text or putting in links etc. is at [[:Help:Editing]]

So that you can keep track of your own changes and have more control generally, anyone can create their own account, click on '''create account''' above. Conversely we can lock certain pages so that only we can edit them.

Have a think about what you are putting onto the FIBIWiki for instance so it doesn't duplicate information in Wikipedia or in the FIBIS search site. See our [[policy]] for details.

1st Bengal Light Cavalry

2007-07-11T18:36:23Z

Johnkendall:

The Diary of an Indian Cavalry Officer, Pagioda Tree Press, Bath, 2003 is the diary of John Hatfield Brooks who was an officer in this Regiment form 1843 till it was disbanded in 1858. Unfortunately most of the earliest years are missing, so we lack the first hand account of the Maharjpoor Campaign and the Sikh Wars. But the diary is complete from 1849. The diarist gives a vivid view of cantonment life in pre-Mutiny India, and also sheds light on the annexation of Oude. When the Mutiny broke out in 1857, the Regiment was at Mhow in SW Bengal and Brooks describes in some detail the events there.

The diary continues till 1863, by which time the officers of the Regiment had transferred to the new 1st Bengal European Light Cavalry, which in turn became the 19th Hussars in the Queen's (ie British) Army.
