Description

Excerpt from Memoir of Rao Bahadur Ranchhodlal Chhotalal, C. I.e: Late Member of the Legislative Council, Bombay, and Founder of the Mill Industry of Gujarat

Mr. Ranchhodlal was one Of the few Hindu gentlemeni have known who maintained throughout life an um questioning and unshaken attachment to the faith Of their ancestors. This devotion was combined with a most progressive Spirit in material and mundane affairs. I well remember how once, after his return from Bhimnath, a remote and very holy spot in the Himalayas, whither he had made a pilgrimage with some Of his family, he sought my assistance in carrying out certain projects designed for the benefit Of the pilgrims who annually visited the shrine. He was anxious that the ?ights of steps leading to the sacred waters should be repaired or rebuilt, and that certain sanitary works, the value Of which he had learnt to appre ciate in Ahmadabad, should be constructed. He believed that if I, as District Magistrate, appealed on his behalf to the Deputy Commissioner of the district, with whom he was personally unacquainted, and remitted the money required for these projects to him, there was greater possi bility of the amount being advantageously expended. Gladly did I write to the Officer, explaining the situation and Ranchhodlal''s Object, and in due course received a cordial reply, as a result Of which Ranchhodlal forwarded through me a sum Of two thousand rupees to meet the cost Of the necessary works.
