Description:
King Thibaw was deposed and deported to Madras on 10th Dec. 1885. Among those who accompanied the ex-Royal
family were seven young maids-of-honour. Some of them were said to be Kachin girls. They were unhappy in India and
became disobedient and troublesome. After four months they were sent back on the S.S. Asia. After their return the
British administration granted each a pension of Rs. 10 a month, as long as they remained unmarried.....Subject Terms:
