What is Sanad?
Sanad or सनद (deed or patent) in British India, a deed granted to the native princely state rulers confirming them in their states, in return of their allegiance.
Under the Sanad, the hill chiefs were put under certain obligations in return of their protection.
Those obligations were:
- Hill chiefs were to allow free passage to British merchants and their goods.
- They had to furnish certain number of Begar Laborers.
- They had to construct 12 feet wide roads in their territories.
- The bigger states were duty bound to join the British Army with their armed retainers and hill porters when called upon to do so at the time of war.
- The Hill chiefs were also required to promote the welfare of their people, to improve the condition of their countries and cultivation, to redress grievance and to keep public road safe.
