(ARCHIVE) Vol. XXIII No. 7, July 16-31, 2013
A gold chain from the Prince of Wales

This is the final part of a three-part story on T. Ramachendra Row, the first Indian to be appointed Assistant Commissioner of Police, Madras City, the highest post achieved by an Indian till that time. It is narrated rather differently – through testimonials and letters he received and which his family have carefully retained – to provide a flavour of the times and show something of the interaction between the British and the Indians. These extracts have been copied from a printed compilation created by the family.
