Most people say that he founded the Rang Mahal Mission High School, Lahore. Others say that it was Chandu Lall. Lala Chandu Lall had been involved with the St. Stephen&#8217;s School which later became the prominent St. Stephen&#8217;s College of Delhi University. Family sources say that Lala Chandu Lall joined the Government Education Department in Lahore and there was involved with the starting of the Rang Mahal School which later became the renowned Forman Christian College. He was an educationist and a disciplinarian even though he was a loving father to his children and all his children did exceedingly well for themselves. Our object here is not to refer to DR Forman or Chandu Lall, but to the man, who ran the School for decades as Head Master, and who became synonymous with the school in all ways. Ask any other old student of the school, and he would swoon with the memory of Rallia Ram.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1921\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1921\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Master-Rallia-Ram.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1921\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Master-Rallia-Ram.jpg\" alt=\"Master Rallia Ram\" width=\"700\" height=\"966\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Master-Rallia-Ram.jpg 700w, http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Master-Rallia-Ram-217x300.jpg 217w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1921\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Master Rallia Ram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1922\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1922\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rallia-Ram-and-piano.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1922\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rallia-Ram-and-piano.jpg\" alt=\"Rallia Ram and piano\" width=\"700\" height=\"985\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rallia-Ram-and-piano.jpg 700w, http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rallia-Ram-and-piano-213x300.jpg 213w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1922\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rallia Ram and piano<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p align=\"justify\">No cars, no bungalows, an average man obsessed with education as well as other things. He loved to ride his bicycle everywhere. History was his passion and he wrote a text book on Punjab, which is there in our archives. He was also fond of music and loved to play the piano. He had many students in the field of music too, and Muhammed Afzal Khan, son in law, of Dr Yar Muhammed, was his pupil too.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1924\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1924\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rang-Mahal-Mission-High-School.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1924\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rang-Mahal-Mission-High-School.jpg\" alt=\"Rang Mahal Mission High School\" width=\"470\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rang-Mahal-Mission-High-School.jpg 470w, http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rang-Mahal-Mission-High-School-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1924\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rang Mahal Mission High School<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p align=\"justify\">Very near to the Mission School, was the Mohalla Chabuk Sawaran, Lahore. In fact this area was part of the old Rang Mahal, palace of Mian Lutufullah Khan son of Mian Saadullah Khan, Prime Minister of Emperor Shah Jahan. In that mohalla lived, M.A. Rahman Chughtai, and as he became famous, so Rallia Ram was attached to the new artist of Lahore. The success of the book, Murraqqa e Chughtai, was a pleasant surprise for Master Rallia Ram, and he wrote a letter of congratulations to the artist, which we attach here as an image. A lot of children of the Chughtai family went to the Mission High School, Lahore, and my cousins recall Master Rallia Ram, with great fondness.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1923\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1923\" style=\"width: 474px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rallia-Rams-letter.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1923\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rallia-Rams-letter-679x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Rallia Rams letter\" width=\"474\" height=\"715\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rallia-Rams-letter-679x1024.jpg 679w, http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rallia-Rams-letter-199x300.jpg 199w, http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rallia-Rams-letter.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1923\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rallia Rams letter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE IMMORTAL HEADMASTER RALLIA RAM MISSION SCHOOL LAHORE AND HIS CHARISMA In memory of Lahori boys all the time Reverend Forman came to Lahore.
