Dalhousie is a town in the state of Himachal Pradesh,India
developed by the British for their own zest only throughout the colonial times.This
hilly area has an Alpine season (altitude
is 6000ft to 7500ft) This
place was situated in the ancient empire of Chamba and was a remote place with
virgin forests when the British first came here.
When the
British officers got to know about this pleasant forest of Oak and Deodar pine
in a congestion of Alpine beauty,they informed their topmost authorities to
pressurize the Chamba state to permit them to retract in 1850 this area and build a settlement here
in 1851.
Maharaja Shri Singh was the Ruler of Chamba state at that time,and he knew that
it,would not be possible to protest the pressure of the British. So he permits
the British to make a settlement there and in return he had an adequate amount
lessened from the amount of taxes that the kingdom of Chamba was honoring the
British Raj.In 1853 the sanatorium was licensed.The British active forces built
a sanatorium for the convalescent British battalion.A British
officer, Lt.Colonel Napier who later became known as “lord Napier” was the

rulers point of view was evident here as in other parts of India during the

villagers who worked for the British “Sahibs” were very poor and devoid of many
basic needs of life.The photographs of ill bushy hill public often in tatters
and with bare feet,puffed and cracked,working for the Britishers contrast
vividly against the thick well dressed British who wanted to take all available
luxury goods of life.The Christian missionaries who came and lived in the
settlement commonly did “conditional social work” when it suited them for the
cause of spreading their religion.The propagation of the religious activities
of their community was much more essential to them than the preservation of
traditional hill culture and tradition.
The general viewpoint of the British people who came
to Dalhousie during the colonial days was no different The British
force and other people of the settlement required supplies.So some traders from
the lowland came and established supply stores at Dalhousie and
nearby places. In 1895 the first hotel named the Bulls head
