For who was McLeod Ganj named?

Factual Questions
1

I was just reading something about the Dalai Lama, and it notes he lives in a part of Dharamsala called McLeod Ganj. Something about the name suggests to me it just might not be named after a native Indian (or Tibetan) - so who was this McLeod?

There’s also a Forsyth Ganj. The only references I can find quickly on-line are fragments of proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society which seem to indicate that a General McLeod was Director-General of a surveying mission to the area, and a Forsythe was one of the surveyers. The relevant documents are on the JSTOR website, but it’s subscription only. Your library will have an account.

Oh, the document is:

Rennell and the Surveyors of India: Discussion
Gilbert Laithwaite, R. C. A. Edge, Waris Ameer Ali
Geographical Journal, Vol. 134, No. 3 (Sep., 1968), pp. 325-327
doi:10.2307/1792960
and it’s Forsythe.

Actually, I have an account, since my university gives us all passes through Athens. I’ll have a dig round.

And there’s a Cox’s Bazaar in West Bengal. I always wondered who that was.

This one’s got a Wiki entry! A Lieutenant Cox, British Army, who died in 1798.

McLeod Ganj is named after David McLeod, Lieutenant-Governor of Punjab, and Forsyth Gunj, named after a divisional commissioner.
