A History of the Mahrattas v2.c49.5

v2.c49.5

¹ [Moor states that Ghāsīrām or Gahunsa Rām Kotwāl was a native of Aurangābād, that his chief assailants were Telinga, or Telugu-speaking, Brahmans, whose caste-fellows had died while in police-custody, and that he was stoned to death on August 31, 1791, close to a temple and tank of handsome design which he himself had built. His fate was actually witnessed by Dr. Findlay, ‘Surgeon to our Legation at Poona.’ (Hindu Pantheon, ed. 1810, London, p. 373.)]
