Kaiser-i-Hind Medal
The Kaisar-i-Hind Medal for Public Service in India was a medal awarded by the Emperor/Empress of India between 1900 and 1947, to "any person without distinction of race, occupation, position, or sex ... who shall have distinguished himself (or herself) by important and useful service in the advancement of the public interest in British Raj." The name "Kaisar-i-Hind" ( ur, ''qaisar-e-hind'', hi, क़ैसर-इ-हिन्द) literally means "Emperor of India" in the Hindustani language. The word ''kaisar'', meaning "emperor" is a derivative of the Roman imperial title Caesar, via Persian (see Qaysar-i Rum) from Greek Καίσαρ ''Kaísar'', and is cognate with the German title Kaiser, which was borrowed from Latin at an earlier date. Based upon this, the title ''Kaisar-i-Hind'' was coined in 1876 by the orientalist G.W. Leitner as the official imperial title for the British monarch in India.B.S.
