MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL COUNCIL

Summary

This 1964 reference directory lists members of the General Council, identified as having been elected by State Councils in November–December 1964. The roster is organised state by state and records members’ names, offices or legislative affiliations, residential addresses, and, in many cases, alternative New Delhi addresses for use during parliamentary sessions. The rendered pages cover Andhra, Bombay, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Madras, Maharashtra, Mysore, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, and the beginning of Uttar Pradesh.

The document is administrative rather than argumentative: its primary function is to map the council’s personnel across India and provide contact information. The entries show a politically diverse body including Members of Parliament, Members of Legislative Assemblies, advocates, professors, former civil servants, titled rulers, and other local representatives. Several entries contain handwritten amendments, corrected addresses, telephone numbers, or crossed-out details, indicating that the directory was maintained as a working contact list. The final five PDF pages, not rendered here, are not covered.
