Her grandmother had defied the tradition of purdah and moved into public life, her mother refused an arranged marriage and married a man she loved, while Devi herself challenged the most powerful Indian woman of the 20th Century, Indira Gandhi.<br /><br />Devi stood against Gandhi's Congress Party in the 1960s and made an enemy of Nehru's daughter when she won what was then a world record majority. Mrs Gandhi retaliated by scrapping all remaining privileges of the Indian royals and Devi was later jailed for five months on tax charges.Adrian Ch.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16385312770168844383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-52474486257690274162012-05-09T05:02:08.750-05:002012-05-09T05:02:08.750-05:00Indeed, I have often wondered if the British had s...Indeed, I have often wondered if the British had systematically gone through India and deposed every Raja and Maharaja and said, 'ye shall have no king but the Emperor in London' if the Indian government after independence would have restored them all. As it turned out, India got rid of their empire and stripped themselves of more of their own history and culture than the Raj ever did. <br /><br />It's sad because the Indian monarchies were absolutely magnificent.
