Sources & Credits
Every fact and photograph on this site traces back to one of the following sources.
The family album
A bound scrapbook album, compiled over decades, pairing hand-written Marathi captions with pasted photographs documenting union meetings, government visits, and civic events. Several pages are countersigned by the Deputy Education Officer, Kolhapur, suggesting the album was maintained as something close to an official record.
Original photographs
A small number of loose, higher-resolution original prints held separately by the family, including the National Award ceremony photograph and a 1973 studio print from Chhaya Photo Studio, Kagal.

Family recollections
A small number of details on this site — his full name, Guruvarya Abdul Hamid Miraso Jamadar, and his recalled membership of the Governing Body of the NCERT, New Delhi — come directly from the family rather than from a photograph or clipping. These are marked as such wherever they appear.
The school's name is a related case: the album banner and two 1985 newspaper clippings all print it as "Hindurao Patane Vidyamandir," but the family has confirmed the school's correct name is Hindurao Ghatge Vidyamandir — used throughout this site accordingly.
A note on accuracy
Where a caption in the source material was faded, rotated on the page, or otherwise not fully legible, this site says so directly rather than filling the gap with a guess. If you can help verify or complete any part of this record, please get in touch via the family — see the Tribute page.
