Before you start reading. Subject of my blog has been history and always will be. It is just that some people are trying to change the history for their personal benefits .<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><img alt="Image result for indian politics" height="213" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HuK2WPmcbjA/maxresdefault.jpg" width="320" /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am not in favor of any political party. It is for you to decide what you think and might help you decide what is right and might enlighten you on several aspects where people of the nation has been kept in dark.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has not been late since nation heard the news of towns names being changed. Is it a trend people following, Or an emotion . Think again. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Politicians do not think of your emotional attachment towards your home town's name . The MP's . PMs vidhayaks , parshads though cover their words with patriotism and selflessness and care for people . </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However the truth is it is not coincident or a mere wave of emotion . It has always been a game of votebank. Before we dive more into this . We need to understand the history behind the name "SHIMLA" and why now people are trying to change it . </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The History of Shimla dates back to the year 1819. Before that Shimla was under the rule of the Gurkhas. It was after the Gurkha War that the British soldiers founded a dense forest near the temple of Goddess Shyamala and gave it the name Shimla</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shimla was the capital of the undivided Punjab in 1871, until the construction of Chandigarh. After the formation of Himachal Pradesh in 1971, Shimla was named as the state capital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the time this small village was know by the name of “Shyamla” meaning a blue ... History of Shimla goes back to the period of Anglo – Gurkha war in the yea</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After independence, the city became the capital of Punjab and was later named the capital of Himachal Pradesh. It is the principal commercial, cultural and educational centre of the state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most of the area occupied by present-day Shimla city was dense forest during the 18th century. The only civilisation was the Jakhoo temple and a few scattered houses.The area was called 'Shimla', named after a Hindu goddess, Shyamala Devi, an incarnation of Kali.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has been 23 years since politicians changed the name of the erstwhile city of Madras to Chennai but the venerable Madras High Court has proudly held on to its old name. IIT Madras has also flourished just fine, thank you very much. And years after the Mumbai and Bengaluru name changes went into effect, IIT Bombay and IIM Bangalore retain their colonial names. Meanwhile, the world still transacts with the Bombay Stock Exchange just as it refers to Bollywood (and not Mollywood).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These esteemed institutions know a thing or two about branding. The two most obvious features of a brand — the name and logo — identify a product, company or place like no other and create a mark of distinction. IBM adopted its name in 1924 and has held on to it for 94 years, although its core business is no longer deriving as much revenue from making business machines as software and services. General Electric (GE) derives only a small part of its revenue from making electric machines. In 2016, it sold its 100-year appliance machines business unit to China’s Haier. It has taken the IBM and GE brands decades to build and nurture their identities, identities that don’t go away simply because a few product lines have changed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sows confusion</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a global economy, changing names after they have gained universal recognition sows confusion. Many places recognise and respect this fact and have maintained dual identities for centuries — one, in the language of their peoples and another, which is directed at a global audience. Consider a Japanese product. It proudly displays a sign which says, “Made in Japan” and not, “Made in Nihon”, although Japan is Nihon in Japanese. This is why, we visit Rome although locals call it Roma. Or we do business in Germany although Germans call it Deutschland.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The late UR Ananthamurthy may go down in history not for his various works of Kannada literature but as one who fought for successfully lobbying the Karnataka government to rename ten cities, including Bangalore. He was not alone in this quest to incite a combination of ethnic, cultural and nationalist emotions to undo names that had been well recognized around the world. Calcutta, Cochin and Baroda were all butchered out of the global lexicon simply to satisfy the whims and fancies of elitists and local politicians.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What good did these city name changes accomplish? Do residents of these regions feel any prouder of their localities now than before? Have they been able to shed their colonial past and reclaim their native glory? Have the changes resulted in better investment opportunities, infrastructure or living standards?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There have been no studies done to date to measure the impact of city name changes but that there are costs is beyond dispute. When cities re-brand, highway traffic signs out into neighbouring States have to be changed. Railway signage, systems and paperwork across the country have to be updated. Government and business stationery have to be destroyed and remade at a cost to the environment. The biggest cost may be in re-educating outsiders about the name change, an intangible line item whose true costs will never be known.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But name-change enthusiasts are not willing to lie low. They are truly pushing the envelope at such complete transformations as Pataliputra for Patna; Prayag for Allahabad and Karnavati for Ahmedabad. If they were to just check with Bank of Baroda about the wisdom of keeping old names, perhaps they would back off.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the questions rises that a country <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnKbMt-Vjzk" target="_blank">where children die of non availablity of oxygen</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_um-J0hkqjE" target="_blank">people die being crushed under a speeding train</a> because of lack of proper infrastructure in place. Does a third world country like ours deserve million of dollars being spent in name of creating a stronger voter bank from a specific community . Please judge for your self and support such acts wisely. </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Air Raid Sirens or the locals at shimla and around himachal call it GHUGGU (घुग्गू ) . These part of our magnificent history which have embraced the time of World war 1 and 2 . Have seen several wars . Been used to alert people at time of emergency. Today i would like to show you part of our history in this blog because one of the air raid siren is also in jutogh town . It used to be near the old mosque and today's police station. These air raid sirens have a vast history i would like to give glimpse of the same.<br />

A <b>civil defense siren</b> (also known as an <b>air-raid siren</b> or <b>tornado siren</b>) is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siren_(alarm)" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Siren (alarm)">siren</a> used to provide <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_population_warning" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Emergency population warning">emergency population warning</a> of approaching danger and sometimes to indicate when the danger has passed. Some (that are mostly located in small towns) are also used to call the volunteer fire department to go fight a fire. Initially designed to warn city dwellers of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airstrike" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Airstrike">air raids</a> in World War II, they were adapted to warn of nuclear attack and of natural destructive weather patterns such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Tornado">tornadoes</a>. The generalized nature of the siren led to many of them being replaced with more specialized warnings, such as the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Alert_System" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Emergency Alert System">Emergency Alert System</a>.</div>

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Mumbai">Mumbai</a> has around 450 sirens, located in all parts of the city. Some 200–250 are still functional. The government is planning to change the system by incorporating the modern wireless/digital technology, in place of the present landline switching system.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
In Mumbai civil defense, sirens were used during the Indo-Pakistan wars of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Pakistani_War_of_1965" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Indo-Pakistani War of 1965">1965</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Pakistani_War_of_1971" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Indo-Pakistani War of 1971">1971</a>, warning civilians about air raids by the Pakistan Air Force. At night, sirens were also used to indicate <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackout_(wartime)" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Blackout (wartime)">blackout</a>, when all lights in Mumbai were switched off. The sirens were tested every day at 9 am. More recently, after the request from civil society, these sirens are tested once every month, and monitored by civil defense personnel deputed for the purpose . They are controlled by the Regional Civil Defense Control Center, Mumbai with inputs from Indian Defense Services. Sirens are also used to denote a minute's worth of 'silence' at special occasions.</div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Watermill is a centuries old technology,Our town Jutogh also has witnessed this legacy as we had our own gharat. It was near to badairi village. it is said that this technology started around 7th century. This technology is widespread over the hilly territories of Uttaranchal, Himachal Pradesh and North East India. The watermills popularly known as ‘gharats’ in Himachal Pradesh, have traditionally been used for rice hulling, milling of grain and other mechanical applications. With the advent of new technology these can be used to produce electricity, not only energy requirement can be met but it would boost the economic and social condition of power producers.

The rail line goes through Shoghi and from Tara Devi, the rail line goes round the Prospect Hill to Jatogh, winding in a series of curves round Summer Hill and burrows under the Inverarm Hill to emerge below the road on the south side of Inverarm, and thus reaches Shimla. </b></span><br /><b><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium;">One of the most interesting features of the Kalka-Shimla route is the absence of girder bridges. There is only one 60-foot plate girder span in a pinewood near Dharampur and a steel trestle viaduct, which replaced a stone gallery in 1935. The remaining 866 bridges, representing three per cent of the line, carry the rail track over the ravines and between the hill spurs.</span></b><br /><b><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div>

<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><b>The Kalka-Shimla Railway built to connect, the summer capital of India in 1903 at an altitude of 2076 meters offers a panoramic feast to experience the grandeur of the picturesque Himalayas from the shivalik foot hills at Kalka to several important points such as Dharampur, Solan, Kandaghat, Taradevi, Barog, Salogra, Summerhill, Shimla and beyond up to the silvery snow line near the towering peaks.<br /><br />The 96.54 kilometer line, built on a 2 feet six inches gauge, was opened for traffic November 9, 1903.Because of the high capital and maintenance cost, coupled with peculiar working conditions, the Kalka - Shimla Railway was allowed to charge fares that were higher than the prevailing tariffs on other lines. However, even this was not good enough to sustain the company and the Government had to purchase it on January 1, 1906.<br /><br />Spectacular scenery along the whole route, and the marvels of it's construction, keeps the traveler on this line spell bound. On leaving Kalka, 656 meters above sea level, the railway enters the foothills and immediately commences it's climb.<br /><br />Kalka-Shimla-Railway runs through 102 tunnels, some of which have hoary tales to tell. For instance, the longest tunnel at Barog, named after the engineer in charge of construction, bears the blood of it's creator who apparently committed suicide after making a mistake in laying the alignment. This tunnel is 1143.61 meters long and remained the second longest tunnel on Indian Railways for a long time. It is a straight tunnel, passing through fissured sand stone.<br /><br />Another tunnel at Taradevi, cutting through a hill on the peak of which is a famous temple, tells of the local superstition of the day that the Goddess would never permit it's construction. When construction was half through, great excitement arose from reported sightings of a huge serpent in the tunnel that had emerged to stop the work. Anti climatically the reptile turned out be a long iron pipe running along the tunnel to convey fresh air.<br /><br />The section has 864 bridges, only one of which is a 60 feet plate girder span and a steel truss. The others are viaducts with multi-arched galleries like the ancient Roman aqueducts.<br /><br />Bridge No. 493, historically known as the "Arch Gallery", situated between Kandaghat and Kanoh stations, is an arch bridge in three stages, constructed with stone masonry that stands good even today. Bridge No. 226, between Sonwara and Dharampur is an arch gallery bridge having 5 tier galleries of multiple spans, constructed with stone masonry and bridging a deep valley surrounded by high peaks.<br /><br />The railway has a ruling gradient of 1 in 25 with 919 curves, the sharpest being 48 degrees. Climbing from 656 meters, the line ends at 2076 meters at Shimla.<br /><br />Road links for other scenic spots in these hills also take off from the Kalka - Shimla Railway. First, there is Kasauli, a British day cantonment town, small, quiet but picturesque. Home to a Louis Pasteur Institute that manufactures the anti-rabies vaccine and a Central Research Institute that makes vaccines against typhoid and cholera and antidotes against snake bite, Kasauli can be approached by road from Dharampur Station.</b></span><b style="color: #7f6000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large; line-height: 1.4; text-align: left;"><br /></b><br /><div>

My recent visit to Jutogh & i clicked few more pics . Tried to revisit the history ,gathered few more facts. We would try to revisit the history with British time Bakery it use to serve British army and after independence till it's rusting days. As if now this building is not in condition to stand properly even.<br />
<br />
Today it has lost it's importance . As gone the days it has lost its purpose of being a bakery also . Now it is a residence of few local people.<br />

As from my last posts i wrote that British army use to stay here . Before the independence Jutogh was also the redinence to a large number of Muslim community people.<br />
<br />
When new construction took place at jutogh people found many of the old things which belong to Muslim community . One the things were utensils BIRYAI DAIGS . People use to cook food in them .<br />
<br />

<br />
A few old men of the town says that back in days there were no facilites like banks so people dug and hide their jeweler and ornaments in grounds and in their houses. Because of INDIA & PAKISTAN partition Muslims had to flee from jutogh and they had to hide their assests like that.<br />
<br />
Later on few of the people found them even . One of the rare picture i got from my friend whose family found this kind of jewelry when they constructed their home.<br />

Many of the Muslim community people use to work for British Army as well. One of names i came to know<br />
was. Mr.Subadar Kifayat Ullah, IDSM ,32nd (Poonch) Mountain Battery .<br />
<br />
Kifayat Ullah would continue to service in the Indian Army for a brief period longer including service on the North-West Frontier of India. He would retire as a Subedar in the mid-1920s.And in . From 1920 he use to stay at jutogh<br />
<br />
if you want to read more about him that can be found at :- <a href="http://www.king-emperor.com/page14.html">http://www.king-emperor.com/page14.html</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Jutogh also had a dargaah or masjid near to old Police station . But after some time government built some thing over there.<br />
<br />
I found some rare pictures of jutogh . These are self explanatory . Below is of barracks in jutogh in British era .<br />

Dear Readers this post is one of the more amazing fact about Jutogh . Our town's rocks are also special in some ways. Our towns rocks have been named as jutogh group rocks by the metomorphic and their repspective department experts. Below are the details why it is so . </div>

<b>rocks of Jutogh Group</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In Shimla the sediment eroded from the Himalayas 30 million years ago and deposited by ancient rivers The town is situated on the rocks of Jutogh Group and Shimla Group. Jutogh group occupies main Shimla area and extends from Annadale-Chaura Maidan- Prospect Hill-Jakhoo- US Club and highland area. Shimla Group comprising of earlier Chail Formation and Shimla Series represented by shale, slate, quartzite greywacke and local conglomerate is well exposed in Sanjauli-Dhalli area . </div>

Himachal Pradesh lies almost entirely in the Himalayan Mountains, and is part of the Punjab Himalayas. Due to its location, it weathers dozens of mild earthquakes every year. Large earthquakes have occurred in all parts of the state, the biggest being the Kangra Earthquake of 1905. The Himalayan Frontal </div>
<div>
Thrust, the Main boundary Thrust, the Karol, the Giri, Jutogh and Nahan thrusts lie in this region. Besides that, there are scores of smaller faults, like the Kaurik Fault which triggered the 1975 earthquake.</div>

<br /><b><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Structural and Metamorphic History of the “Simla Klippe” – A summary</span></b></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div align="justify" class="MsoBodyText">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">SUMIT KUMAR RAY & KSHITINDRAMOHAN NAHA</span><i><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur<br /></span></i><b><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Abstract:</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> The rocks of the Jutogh Series in the “Simla klippe” have been involved in deformations of three generations, the second of which is absent in the Chail rocks framing the Klippe. The first phase structures are isoclinals folds on gently plunging EW axes where least reoriented, and are generally recumbent/reclined with locally inclined attitude. During the second movement, the axial planes of these folds have been folded coaxially into open, upright antiforms and synforms which are overturned and isoclinal in the north, resulting in local back-folding. On these structures are overprinted a set of nearly upright, conjugate and chevron folds with an overall NNW to N strike of axial planes and subhorizontal axes. Axial plane schistosity related to first folding is the most pervasive planar deformation structure, whereas axial plane schistosities of the second and third generations are only locally significant. In the largest scale, the structure of the Jutogh rocks is an EW-trending, recumbent synformal syncline, the remnants of the overturned limb occurring in the peaks of Jutogh, Taradevi and Prospect Hill. This structure shows culminations and depressions because of the third folding. An unrestricted transport in a NS direction (from N or S) could generate the recumbent folds of the first generation. The second set of folds can be explained by a flattening in the waning phase of the over thrust movement in the same plan of deformation. The folds of the third generation indicate a compression in an EW direction in the last phase of deformation.</span></div>
<div align="justify" class="MsoBodyText">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">The Jutogh rock have been affected by metamorphism in two phases. The first metamorphism, generally in the albite-epidote-amphibolite facies and locally in the amphibolite facies, is late to post-tectonic with the first deformation and pre-tectonic with the second deformation. The second metamorphism, which is in the greenschist facies in a major part of the area, started in the late phases of the second deformation, with metamorphism outlasting movement. Sharp break in the first metamorphism at the Jutogh-Chail border, tearing- off of the large-scale early structures of the Jiutogh rocks at this contact together with the absence of structures of the second generation in the rocks, and widespread cataclasis and diaphthoresis all along this boundary, suggest that the Jutogh-Chail contact represents a thrust surface. A synform of the third generation, with a major depression in the central part, has helped in retaining the Jutogh rocks as a klippe in the high ground around Simla. Continuity of the second metamorphism and the third folding across the thrust shows that the second metamorphism is post-thrusting in age. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: #6fa8dc; color: white; font-family: inherit;">The Following poem is by a famous poet on Jutogh and other cantonments . It was written By Rudyard Kipling some time in British Era. He has stayed in shimla and jutogh at some time. However i do not have exact dates for that. However manuscripts of his done work shows that he was at this small town jutogh once.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #6fa8dc; color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And the fine creation below is his depiction of the mesmerising beautifull place.</span></span><br />

The tonga-horn shall ring,
So long as down the Solon dip
The hard-held ponies swing,
So long as Tara Devi sees
The lights of Simla town,
So long as Pleasure calls us up,
Or Duty drives us down,
If you love me as I love you
What pair so happy as we two?
So long as Aces take the King,
Or backers take the bet,
So long as debt leads men to wed,
Or marriage leads to debt,
So long as little luncheons, Love,
And scandal hold their vogue,
While there is sport at Annandale
Or whisky at Jutogh,
If you love me as I love you
What knife can cut our love in two?
So long as down the rocking floor
The raving polka spins,
So long as Kitchen Lancers spur
The maddened violins,
So long as through the whirling smoke
We hear the oft-told tale—
"Twelve hundred in the Lotteries,"
And Whatshername for sale?
If you love me as I love you
We'll play the game and win it too.
So long as Lust or Lucre tempt
Straight riders from the course,
So long as with each drink we pour
Black brewage of Remorse,
So long as those unloaded guns
We keep beside the bed,
Blow off, by obvious accident,
The lucky owner's head,
If you love me as I love you
What can Life kill or Death undo?
So long as Death 'twixt dance and dance
Chills best and bravest blood,
And drops the reckless rider down
The rotten, rain-soaked khud,
So long as rumours from the North
Make loving wives afraid,
So long as Burma takes the boy
Or typhoid kills the maid,
If you love me as I love you
What knife can cut our love in two?
By all that lights our daily life
Or works our lifelong woe,
From Boileaugunge to Simla Downs
And those grim glades below,
Where, heedless of the flying hoof
And clamour overhead,
Sleep, with the grey langur for guard
Our very scornful Dead,
If you love me as I love you
All Earth is servant to us two!
By Docket, Billetdoux, and File,
By Mountain, Cliff, and Fir,
By Fan and Sword and Office-box,
By Corset, Plume, and Spur
By Riot, Revel, Waltz, and War,
By Women, Work, and Bills,
By all the life that fizzes in
The everlasting Hills,
If you love me as I love you
What pair so happy as we two?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Hello Readers ,<br />
<br />
This is my next post in the continuation of my beloved reasearch about my beloved hometown.<br />
<br />
Let me give you a quick recap from my last post that when bishop cotton school was suppose to use Jutogh town for his purposes however due to conflicts of the paper work was not able to . So British army started using it to utilize this place more. As a result a huge magnificent structure came into existence by the name of Wireless pole.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxLuTGyeQEOBq2rmWdePZwDxkuAbZL7hJlMo55AmeaLVbI-RFtx1If6GJrufq5hkyOAK5asFaAslzeeasNNTyeBQEVPGOivwrRuobCVNa1uodrPZvv_ayj2cF2Dn0Rwh8PPqFsNtLD-xql/s1600/poles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxLuTGyeQEOBq2rmWdePZwDxkuAbZL7hJlMo55AmeaLVbI-RFtx1If6GJrufq5hkyOAK5asFaAslzeeasNNTyeBQEVPGOivwrRuobCVNa1uodrPZvv_ayj2cF2Dn0Rwh8PPqFsNtLD-xql/s320/poles.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
This Pole is one of the amazing structures i have seen in my life.This is a goliath of iron metal of aprox 80 Ft. ( i might be wrong ;) Through my childhood i have heard its name as wireless poll . But now has the time came to quench our thirst for the question why it is called Wireless pole.<br />
<br />
i am not sure about the dates when this pole came into existence. However in my upcoming trip to this town will gather more facts on this.<br />
<br />
The reason is pole was meant to use a communication tool .Which was used by the British army to communicate .<br />
<br />
The Technology which British army used was heliograph telegraphic signals.Wireless solar telegraph that signals by flashes of sunlight (generally using Morse code) reflected by a mirror. The flashes are produced by momentarily pivoting the mirror, or by interrupting the beam with a shutter.The heliograph was a simple but effective instrument for instantaneous optical communication over long distances during the late 19th and early 20th century. Its main uses were military, survey and forest protection work. Heliographs were standard issue in the British and Australian armies until the 1960s, and were used by the Pakistani army as late as 1975.<br />
<br />

<br />
The same wireless poles were built in Dagshai cantt as well.<br />
<br />
The Image slide show i am going to include in this post will show you some more panels and objects with Visual explanation of Wireless pole .<br />

This led to the Anglo-Gorkha war. They came into direct conflict with the British along the tarai belt after which the British expelled them from the provinces of the Satluj. Thus British gradually emerged as the paramount powers. In early 19th century the British annexed the areas of Shimla after the Gurkha War of 1815–16. Himachal became a centrally administered territory in 1948 with the integration of 31 hill provinces and received additional regions in 1966.</div>

<span class="mw-headline">Jutogh was acquired by the British Government in 1843. It was first occupied by a regiment of Gurkhas, and was afterwards made over to the Governors of the Bishop Cotton School, but, being found unsuitable for this purpose, was for a time abandoned. Two batteries of British Mountain Artillery and two companies of British Infantry are stationed here during the summer months.</span><br />

<span class="mw-headline"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19.1875px; text-align: justify;">As its label indicates, the old black-and-white postcard shown below presents a view of Jutogh Cantonment. Located in the Shimla (formerly Simla) district of the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, the cantonment was established on a hill amid the forests of the western Himalayas in 1843. British mountain-artillery and infantry units were stationed at Jutogh during the summer, and the houses photographed here are likely to have been home to officers’ families.</span></span><br />

<span class="mw-headline">And then then there was a twist in the tail cause it gave birth to Scandal which threw out the prince of patiala from shimla . SO he had to make an another town . IT was Chail he resided afterwards. </span><br />
<span class="mw-headline"><br /></span>
It was said that he had an affair with Viceroy's daughter. And it created issues for him and British army thew him out.<br />

Majority of hill chiefs responded to the call and joined the British forces. The rivals were engaged in the toughest battle at 3750 ft high Ramgarh fort at Nalagarh. A decisive battle took place near the fort at Malaon in which superior guns of the British overpowered the enemy. The battle of Malaon on 15th May 1815 ended the dream of the Gurkhas, to rule over this part of the land for any longer. After few days, an official declaration was made according to which all Chieftains who had joined British in expelling the Gurkhas were restored with their land under the British protection. The maharaja of Patiala who has also rendered invaluable services to the British was rewarded with land in the neighbourhood of the area now comprising Shimla. After the defeat of Gurkhas they were forced to sign the 'Treaty of Sanjauli' . The company retained the strategic forts of Sabathu, Kotgarh, Ramgarh and Sandoch. </b></span></span></span></div>
