Farzand-i-Dilpazir-i-Daulat-i-Inglishia (lit. 'Esteemed son of the English Government') was a title in the Indian subcontinent.[1] It was used by the Nawab of Rampur.[1][2]
History[edit | edit source]
During the rebellion of 1857, Yusef Ali Khan, the Nawab of Rampur, rendered prompt and valuable assistance to the East India Company.[3] In recognition and appreciation of this, the Earl Canning, in his capacity as Viceroy and Governor-General of India, conferred upon him, on behalf of Her Majesty’s Government, the title of Farzand-i-Dilpazir at a durbar he held at Fatehgarh on 25 November 1859.[4][5] During the reign of Yusef’s successor, Kalb Ali Khan, the British Government on 10 January 1873 added the words Daulat-i-Inglishia to this title.[5][6]
