Gazetteer of Ulwur

http://www.archive.org/stream/gazetteerofulwur00powliala#page/n5/mode/2up
Now this is a wonderful piece of History, written at a time when Alwar was still referred to as Ulwar.

(btw Alwar was formerly known as "Ulwar". This placed it in last position in alphabetically ordered lists, so a king renamed it to "Alwar" to bring it to the top.)

This book happens to have information which I would not ave found on Wikipedia or any other place otherwise.

n in the same line DIDI(mamta benarji) wanted to change their kingdom's(west bengol) name... but with no sense in a meeting of ministers she changed its name to "west banga"... ab meeting ki thi toh conclude toh karni hi thi, hataana aage ka 'W' aur hata diya peeche ka 'L'...
