This diary spans the period of 1 January, 1915 through 31 December, 1915, with no entries between 23 December and 31 December and with a very small minority of them written in, what appears to be, Urdu, one of the coofficial languages in the general area today. It contains a stamp reading: "Munshi Radha Mohan Lal B.A., Nazim of Sambhar, Jaipur State." One learns from it that as the Nazim of Sambhar, the author performed many legal, as well as representative duties, which kept him very busy. He worked during weekends. He wrote correspondence, sent many money orders to magistrates in connection with legal cases, received royalty money from treasuries, worked with his court clerks to record the number of currency notes supplied by the Sall, heard legal cases, was present at inspections of his court and postmortem examinations in the local hospital, made usual arrangements to guard H.E. the Viceroy passing through Sambhar, met with many other officials and administrators, including "the Resident" and hosted them in his house on a regular basis. On 15 December, he was photographed during an official presentation of the insignia of Rai Salib to someone. The Nazim appears to be religious. He bathed in sacred streams and on Wednesday, 1 December, 1915, he observed that while the Raj courts were observing a holiday, "the Salt offices" were "working without the last regard to the sanctity of the day." "Salt offices" most likey referred to the offices administering salt from the Sambhar Lake (the offices of the Commissioner?) or to the last name of the Commissioner mentioned on 13 December, 1915. The Nazim also attended "the great Jalsa day" in Sambhar in September of 1915, which most likely referred to some regular day of public parties, festivities (nowadays speakers of Urdu use "Jalsa" to mean `procession`, `public rally`, and `public gathering`.) On Saturday, 15 January, a boy named Suresh, who was likely one of Nazim's servants, died of diptheria. The mourning was observed for three days (Saturday, Sunday, and Monday) and the court was closed on Monday. On 6 February there is a mention of the African Theatre of World War I. The Nazim was sent news of an Indian doctor's death, along with the doctor's entire regiment, in the East African Campaign, in which in excess of 200,000 Indian and South African troops fought against the German empire troops between August 1914 and November 1918.
