knows to what tribe they belong… By reading and 

application she has arrived at that greater degree of 

knowledge to be in the habit of writing and talking 

with professors and other clever men on the subject, 

and they all acknowledge that she understands 

more of the science than anyone else in this 

kingdom.” - Lady Harriet Silvester’s diary, 1824.

who took part in the 1843 Gwalior campaign. 

Rising tensions between the East India Company 

and the State of Gwalior led to a British led 

advance into Gwalior early in December 1843 in a 

two pronged attack. On December 29, 1843, the 

British Army defeated Maharaja Shrimant Jayaji 

Rao Scindia, and regained control of Gwalior. The 

first division of the army, commanded by General 

Sir Hugh Gough, was victorious at the Battle of 

Maharajpoor. Major-General Grey, on the same day, 

with the second division, was victorious at the Battle 

of Punniar.
