About The Author: Shahamet Ali's education was made possible through the generosity of the British Government, which took the initiative to restore the College originally established during the time of the Mogul emperors. This restoration aimed to benefit Indian youth in Delhi and the surrounding regions. This College had faced the same fate as other public institutions in the city due to the decline of the Mogul empire. On the 20th of October in 1832, Ali was chosen to serve as a secretary in the mission led by Lieutenant-Colonel Sir C. M. Wade to Peshawar. His assignment required him to rendezvous with the Captain at Lodiana, who was then preparing for a diplomatic mission to the courts of Lahore and Bhawlpore. The goal of this mission was to negotiate treaties with those states to open up navigation on the Satluj and Indus rivers, in alignment with the efforts of Lieutenant-Colonel (later Sir) Henry Pottinger's mission to Sindh. Pottinger had visited the Amirs in Sindh shortly before with the same purpose. In the years 1837-38, Shahamat Ali had the distinction of receiving approval and commendation from the Right Honorable Lord Auckland, the Governor-General at that time.
