• Notes

  Responsible for the prohibition of widow burning in Rajpootana Major Ludlow, in the Maharaja's minority, was President of the Council of Regency. He first persuaded the Rajput states to abolish female infanticide ; then, in 1846, after long endeavour, his tact and personal popularity won the Jaipur Council over as to "suttee also. Already some of the powerful Jaipur nobles had suppressed it in their own territories ; but his success with the Council took everybody by surprise, his predecessor as Resident most of all. Lord Hardinge, the Governor- General, notified the prohibition in the Gazette, September 22, 1846, thanking Ludlow for his service.
