Contribute to the Record

If you hold material connected with Pandit Mulk Raj, Patiala's Raj Pandits or the royal household, it may help authenticate a family account or open a new archival lead.

What is useful

Share the source, not only the story.

We welcome family recollections and copies of photographs, letters, diaries, princely decrees, sanads or farmans, appointment or service papers, property records, newspaper cuttings and other material with a clear connection to the subject.

How submissions are treated

A contribution is not automatically treated as verified fact. Its provenance is recorded and it is independently corroborated where possible.

For photographs or documents: retain the full uncropped image, reverse-side writing or captions, and any archive, file, folio or record number visible. Please do not send original physical documents.

You may also attach scans or photographs after your email app opens.

Why this matters

One photograph can fix a date. One decree can settle a title.

The purpose of this archive is not to preserve a preferred version of the past. It is to preserve the trail by which future generations can know what was remembered, what was proved and what remained open.
