In October 1852, Sayyid Ahmad, a munsif (subordinate judge) of Delhi, was invited to deliver a learned paper before a select British audience, the members of the Archaeological Society of Delhi. Sir Thomas Theophilus Metcalfe civil commissioner and agent of the governor-general presided over the meeting, which was held in his administrative headquarters, otherwise known as Ludlow Castle. Two years earlier, the society had decided "to invite native gentlemen" to contribute "such information their local, linguistic, or other knowledge may enable them to supply with greater readiness and accuracy than our Western Orientalists usually arrive at." The "inducement" for those whose work was accepted was recognition as "Native Honorary Members" of the society.1
