TONK

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 10 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
TONK , a native state of India, in the Rajputana agency. It consists of six isolated tracts, some of which are under the Central India agency. Total area, 2553 sq. m.; total population (19o1), 273,201; estimated revenue 77,000. No tribute is payable. The
chief
 , whose title is nawab, is a Mahommedan of Afghan descent. The founder of the family was Amir Khan, the notorious Pindari leader at the beginning of the 19th century, who received the present territory on submitting to the British in 1817. The nawab Mahommed Ibrahim Ali Khan, G.C.I.E., succeeded in 1867, and was one of the few chiefs who attended both Lord Lytton's
Durbar
  in 1877 and the Delhi
Durbar
  of 1903 as rulers of their states. The
late
  minister, Sir Sahibzada Obeidullah Khan, was deputed on political duty to Peshawar during the
Tirah
  campaign of 1897. Grain,
cotton
 , opium and hides are the
chief
  exports. Two of the outlying tracts of the state are served by two railways. Distress was caused by drought in 1899-1900. The town of Tonk is situated 1462 ft. above sea-level, 6o m. by road south from Jaipur, near the right bank of the river Banas. Pop. (Igor), 38,759. It is surrounded by a
wall
 , with a mud fort. It has a high school, the Walter female hospital under a lady superintendent, and a hospital for males.
There is another town in India called Tonk, or Tank, in Dera Ismail Khan
district
 , North-West Frontier Province; pop. (1901), 4402. It is the residence of a nawab, who formerly exercised semi-independent powers. Here Sir Henry Durand, lieutenant-
governor
  of the Punjab, was killed in 187o when passing on an elephant under a gateway.
