Sir Edward Charles Kayll Ollivant, KCIE (b. 1846) was a senior member of the Indian Civil Service who made a mark in his dealings with two notable politicians. Ollivant had arrived〔Mentioned in ''The Nursing Record and Hospital World'' October 7, 1899 accessed at Royal College of Nursing () August 3, 2006〕 in India in 1881. By 1892, he was Political Agent in Rajkot and had a notable disagreement〔() Chronology of M.K. Gandhi, South African History Online〕 with Mohandas Gandhi who was then a young barrister.〔According to Stanley Wolpert, ''Gandhi's Passion : The Life and Legacy of Mahatma Gandhi'', Oxford University Press, 2002, p. 31, Ollivant was then forty-eight years old.〕 The incident resulted in Gandhi being pushed out of the room, and ill-feeling was apparently a factor in his departure for South Africa in 1893. Ollivant was knighted as a Knight Commander of the KCIE in 1892. He was a judicial member of the Council of the Governor of Bombay until April 1902. It was Ollivant who offered to hire Jinnah at 1,500 rupees per month and was notably turned down. Ollivant is also known to have been a director of the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway.〔(Mentioned in Time magazine article, August 30, 1926 )〕 ==See also== * Henry Northcote, 1st Baron Northcote, Governor of Bombay (1900–1903) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Ollivant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
