The New Maharajahs
Author: Claudia Cragg
Publisher: Claudia Cragg
ISBN: 9780712677615
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Until India gained its independence from Britain in 1947, one third of the country was ruled by a lazy, pampered group of 565 maharajahs, or princes. They led hedonistic lives with scores of wives and concubines, palaces and jewels, and spent much of their time playing polo and tiger hunting. The late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi taxed the maharajahs almost out of existence, and few physical traces of their former glory remain. However, a new breed of commercial princes has sprung up in their place.
