On the strength of his years of\r\nstudy in Mecca, Ibn Batuta was appointed a qazl, or judge, by the sultan.

376. (4) Called\r\nthe “Proclamation Durbar”, the Durbar of 1877 was held beginning on 1 January\r\n1877 to designate the coronation and proclaim Queen Victoria as Empress of\r\nIndia.

It was attended by the 1st Earl of Lytton\r\n- Viceroy of India, maharajas, Nawabs and intellectuals. It was at this\r\nglittering durbar that a man in “homespun spotless white khadi” rose to read a\r\ncitation on behalf of the Pune Sarvajanik Sabha.
