Greetings, Can someone identify the following Princess? In an enquiry the following information was provided Princess Shashi Raje of Dewas Jnr, circa 1920. However I cannot find anyone in that family, with that name and in that time frame. The closest match is Princess Shahshiprabharaje who would have been born in 1920/1. The link is at http://www.asianartresource.com/mall/asianartresourcecouk/products/product-3361479.stm ( avery nice portrait as well). Cheers, Henry

Dear Mr. Malwade, Glad you were familiar with that book, also. I couldn't put my hands on my copy to check the photo there giving her name. The title is "Lives of the Indian Princes".

Hi I dont think indian royals learnt anything much less lessons from history. At a time when one of the best chief ministers Vasundhara Raje is fighting elections against the congress, the "Maharaja of Bharatpur" is trying tooth and nail to pull her down.

Hi, This is fascinating and interesting alright. However, wouldn't HH Martand Singh's official insanity, have automatically invalidated his will, esp. if it was post declaration? I hope the property goes to the rightful inheritors. In any case it would all be entailed and I doubt if he was free to will it to anyone else other than his legal heirs.

It is very very fascinating and mysterious. The main characters are the rewa royal family and the family of Arjun singh of Churhat (the congress leader). It appears that Arjun singh's family and Rewa royals were arch enemies. Martand singh was staunch opponent of Arjun singh. In 1990's, Maharaja Martand singh was suffering from dementia. A board of doctors from Bombay declared him clinically insane. He lived seperate from his wife and son. When the Maharaja Martand singh died, it came out that he had left all his property worth hundereds of crores to Arjun singh's family!!!!!! as well as his personal driver. In what reads like a mystery novel , there are twists and turns. The court case went on with all the rewa family skeletons tumbling out from the cupboard including contents of Martand singh's personal diaries. In the end, it was conclusively proved that Arjun singh's family had conspired with the driver prepare this forged will to grab the rewa royal properties. I found this whole saga fascinating. It was one of the most MASALA cases i have come across royal india. This episode will make a very good thriller movie. TITBIT - A small titbit. Did you know that Maharaja Gulab singh of Rewa died when he "accidently fell off" the terrace of Bikaner house in Delhi. I dont know many people who "accidently fall off" terraces.

Dear Gregor, Very little literature has been published in English on Zamindars of East Bengal. The right place for you would be to go to Bangladesh and try in Faridpur.
