Excerpt from The People of India, Vol. 8: A Series of Photographic Illustrations of the Races and Tribes of Hindustan Calcutta. The young Rajah of Mysore continued under the joint superintendence Of the Hindoo minister of the state, and of British Officers at his court. He was well educated, and it was hoped would administer satisfactorily the dominions allotted to him; but when be attained his majority, he not only squandered the large accumulation which had accrued during his minority, but fell deeply into debt, and Oppressed his subjects so severely, that violent outbreaks occurred, which required English interference to subdue. In 1831-2 the Rajah's authoritv was set aside, and the administration conducted by English Officers. The state remained in this condition till the Rajah's death. For some years before this event he had been desirous, as he had no male heir, of adopting the son Of a relative as heir, and this permission was finally granted. The prince elected is being educated for his high station, and it may be hoped may prove a more efficient and more practical ruler than the late Maharajah.
