I am forwarding this letter with the hope and belief of getting your support for the cause of compilation of comprehensive directory of the Rulers of south - east India and vassals in allegiance to British/ Indian Princely States e. g. Zamindars , by whatever name called in different parts of Orissa.
This is aimed to encompass the basic data of the State/ Estate (like situation, extent, population, revenue, major achievements, palaces & forts, etc.), a concise history of its establishment and development, present encumbents and their clan affiliations and relations.
This in turn requires the compilation of list, history and genealogical tables of Rulers/ Jagirdars from the respective Princely States, Land Revenue Records and enactments like Oudh Estate Act 1869, etc.
