âWe were Kashmiris. Over two hundred years ago, early in the eighteenth century, our ancestor
came down from that mountain valley to seek fame and fortune in the rich plains below. Those
were the days of the decline of the Mughal Empire after the death of Aurungzeb, and Farrukhsiyar
was the Mughal Emperor. Raj Kaul was the name of that ancestor of ours and he had gained
eminence as a Sanskrit and Persian scholar in Kashmir. He attracted the notice of Farrukhsiyar
during the latter's visit to Kashmir, and, probably at the Emperor's instance, the family migrated to
Delhi, the imperial capital, about the year 1716. A jagir with a house situated on the banks of a
canal had been granted to Raj Kaul, and, from the fact of this residence, the name came into
