1913 — Rahadari Request and Government Correspondence Concerning the Sajjada of Baba Budan Dargah
Original Mysore Government papers concerning the request for a Rahadari for travel by the Sajjada of Baba Budan Dargah.
Historical context
In 1913, correspondence passed between the Kadur Deputy Commissioner and the Mysore General and Revenue Secretariat concerning a proposed journey by the Sajjada of Baba Budan Dargah. The file refers to older Rahadari precedents, including a document reportedly issued in 1892, and records administrative consideration of the request.
What the file records
The typed Deputy Commissioner’s report (PDF pages 28–30) describes the request and the earlier precedent. Subsequent correspondence asks for previous documents and addresses whether and by whom a Rahadari might be issued. These papers should be read as a record of an application and official consideration, not by themselves as proof of unrestricted travel privileges or a final grant.
