Between 1911 and 1915, Gujrat witnessed an unusually turbulent phase in its administrative history.
In just four years, five different rulers governed the district—each bringing a distinct governing style shaped by colonial priorities, local pressures, and the looming shadow of the First World War.
This episode explores:
• Mr. Robert (Richard) Sykes and his focus on revenue discipline and agricultural surveys
• Nawab Malik Khuda Bakhsh Tiwana, whose humane and consultative approach often conflicted with colonial expectations
• Lieutenant Colonel Percy Samuel Mackworth Burlton, who imposed military discipline on civil administration
• Major James Charles Coldstream, whose long experience turned district governance into a precise administrative machine during wartime recruitment
Through documented reforms, brief tenures, and policy shifts, this episode reveals how colonial order and local resilience repeatedly collided in Gujrat.
This is not merely a list of officers—it is a study of how power, policy, and people interacted during a critical transitional period in Punjab’s history.
