About this item

Content

This file relates to institutions in the Hejaz (later Saudi Arabia) that have received or have been offered financial support from the Government of the Nizam of Hyderabad.

The file features the following principal correspondents: the Resident at Hyderabad, the Foreign Secretary to the Government of India, His Majesty's Minister at Jedda (Sir Andrew Ryan), and the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The correspondence primarily concerns proposals from the Government of the Nizam of Hyderabad to install electric lights in the haram at Medina and to repair a number of holy tombs there, in commemoration of the Nizam's silver jubilee. Included in the correspondence are details of the proposals and the Saudi Government's response.

Also included in the file is correspondence dating from 1931 discussing the alleged interference of the Hejazi authorities regarding the religious instruction provided at a Hyderabad-funded Hanafi madrassa in Medina.

The date range of the file is 1931-38 but the majority of the material dates from 1936-38.

The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
