Maharaja - Use as a ruler's title.
On the eve of independence in 1947, India (including present day Pakistan) consisted of more than 600 princely states (see that article for context), each with its own ruler, often styled Raja or Thakur (if the ruler were Hindu) or Nawab (if he was Muslim); there was a host of less current titles as well.

| | | | Indian subcontinent: Encyclopedia II - History of Sufism - Sufism in Indian subcontinent
Muslims of the Indian subcontinent prominently follow Chistiyya, Naqshbandiyya, Qadiriyya and Suharabardiyya orders. Of them the Chisti order is the most visible. Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, a disciple of Khwaja Abu Abdal Chishti, the propounder of this order introduced it in India. He came to India from Afghanistan with the army of Shihab-ud-Din Ghuri in 1192 AD and started living permanently in Ajmer since 1195. Centuries later, with the support of Mughal rulers, his shrine became a place of pilgrimage. Akbar used to visit the shrine every year ...

| | | | Indian subcontinent: Encyclopedia II - Non-native pronunciations of English - The Indian Subcontinent Note: There are many different languages and language families in India such as Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Urdu, Kannada, Marathi, Punjabi, and Tamil. Because of dominance by the British Empire for so long (See History of India) English is a commonly spoken language in India, especially in administration and as a Lingua Franca. Attempts at describing an "Indian" accent will naturally oversimplify variation that appears from one Indic language to another.
Use of the present continuous/progressive ("-ing") rather than simple ...

| | |  Indian subcontinent: Definition of HinduismHinduism: Definition of Hinduism Hinduism is not a religion but a set of beliefs and traditions which have evolved over a period of time. It is a way of life based upon a group of religious movements evolved in the Indian subcontinent over a vast period of time. It is not based upon a single scripture or the teachings of a single prophet. There is no central organization like the Church of Christianity or the Order of Buddhism to control its movements or progress. Read more here: » Hinduism: Definition of Hinduism |

| | |  Indian subcontinent: The Meaning of HinduHinduism: The Meaning of Hindu The word Hindu is not a religious word. It is secular in origin. It is derived from the word Sindhu, which is the name of a major river that flows in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent. The ancient Greeks and Armenians used to refer the people living beyond the river Sindhu as Hindus and gradually the name struck. When the Muslims came to the sub continent they called the people living in the region as Hindustanis to distinguish them from the foreign Muslims. Subsequently when the British established their rule, they started calling the local religions collectively under the name of Hinduism. Read more here: » Definition of Hindu: The Meaning of Hindu |
