- Title:
- Memoirs of Meredith Worth
- Scope & Content:
-
Memoirs of Meredith Worth (1905-93), beginning with a brief account of his education and his time in the Indian Civil Service in Bengal (1927-33), before going on to focus mainly on his career in the Indian Political Service (1933-47). The memoirs are typewritten with corrections and annotations in ink.
Worth recounts posts held in Gyantse [Gyangze], Bahrain, Baluchistan [Balochistān], Gujerat [Gujarat], Kathiawar, Rajputana, Orissa [Odisha], and Quetta. He states his preference for the Indian Civil Service over the Indian Political Service, and also gives his views on the partition of India.
Worth concludes his memoirs with an account of his career after 1947 in Australia, most notably in the Department of External Affairs, where he was involved in assisting Indian and Pakistani students in Victoria and Tasmania.
