[edit]DescriptionDarjeeling Deed Of Grant, 1835.gif |
English: Probably the ‘Grant of Darjeeling’ is most widely known from the version in English given in the ‘Darjeeling’ volume of the series of ‘Bengal District Gazetteers’ (A.J. Dash ed., 1947); certainly it was through this version that I first came to know of ‘the Grant’: “ The Governor General having expressed his desire for the possession of the hill of Darjeeling on account of its cool climate, for the purpose of enabling the servants of his Government, suffering from sickness, to avail themselves of its advantages, I, the Sikkimputtee Rajah, out of friendship for the said Governor General; hereby present Darjeeling to the East India Company, that is all the land South of the Great Rangit river, east of the Balasun, Kahail and Little Rangit rivers and west of Rungno (Tista) and Mahanadi rivers” (pp.37-8). |
