''The Baroda Crisis'' took place between 1872 and 1876 in Baroda, a Gujurati Princely state. ==History== The Baroda Crisis began when Colonel Phayre was appointed as the Resident of Baroda. He had an increasingly negative relationship with Mullar Rao, the Gaekwar (Prince) of Baroda. This antagonism culminated in the Baroda Enquiry which found 'serious misgovernment' in the state. However, instead of taking into account the findings of the report, Northbrook, the Viceroy of India 〔Thomas Baring, 1st Earl of Northbrook〕 instead only gave the Gaekwar a warning. This allowed the bad relationship between Phayre and the Gaekwar to develop, with Phayre increasingly unwilling to work with Rao. The situation came to a head in November 1874. Phayre sent the Viceroy a damning report detailing the failings of the governance of the state. On the same day, the Gaekwar sent an urgent request to the Viceroy that Phayre be removed. Northbrook was sympathetic to the Gaekwar and, on 12 November sent word to Bombay that Phayre should be replaced. However, this action was taken too late as, on 9 March, an attempt was made to poison Phayre. This led to the Gaekwar being convicted of high treason. 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「The Baroda Crisis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
