Thanks for the tip, David. I appreciate the assistance. Jim Havel

Try Duleep Shahani, art@vsnl.com, in Bombay. He has lots of these, and I bought some nice ones from him. I was after the letterheads rather than the autographs. Also a good source in Bombay, but pricier, is Farukh Todywalla, todywallahouse@hotmail.com, also in Bombay.

Hey, reshmi. I was going through your article on royalty in bollywood. I did not know that Amrita Singh was from a royal ( zamindar) family. One piece of information for you. Actually my great grandfather was a friend of Maharaja R.N. Singh Deo of Bolangir ( Orissa). I think Chandrachud Singh ( in Bollywood) is a grandson of R.N.Singh Deo.But I am not sure. Did not get reply from you.There were two more families of East Bengal that I missed out. Natore and Bhagyokul. IIf you can throw some light on Sanjoy Narayan, I would be delighted.Previously, I had thought there is no male descendant left of the Coochbehar family and the only two indirect descendants are Prodyut Deb Burman of Tripura ( Her mom is from Coochbehar) and Maharani Gayatri Devi's son.

Hi I cam across this interesting article on a Miraj royal: http://www.india-today.com/btoday/20030914/features3.html ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your home page. http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

Dear All, I would indeed like to confine my views to matters concerning Royality, but I am also unable to resist any attempts that are touted by anyone to distort facts that are clearly visible to anyone who tries to indulge in a bit of lateral thinking. I'd like to close this topic and leave it to the wise judgement of all of you to as all of you are quite aware. But before I do that, I shall comment onthe views expressed by Learned Ashok Tyagi and Learned David Phillips on the leftists or communists. Commenting on my contention that leftists are pro-Muslim or Anti Hindu, Sh. Tyagi states inter alia that Leftists are anti-establishment. Were that true, communists may not have alligned with the church in the whole of South America, leave aside opposing it. Were that true, the communists would have made more inroads in East Bengal or Bangladesh of today, other than focussing on Nepal, and especially their suo motu declaring it a 'secular' state, where as no one demanded the Hindu Nepal to be declared so. Any observing mind would have observed that all 'progressive' Muslims who demanded and migrated to Pakistan were Leftists/Communists(Mr. David Phillips may observe this). Leftists have broken hell over the riots in Gujarat, but never did a word emerge from them when Hindus were the target of constant loot, rape and arson? I could go on with specific example, but my intent is just to support my observation about the left oriented 'historians', and nothing else. Anyone wishing to discuss anything further this is welcome to mail me individually. Best Wishes! SHYAM

Hi A lot has been commented on this issue. This is not a black and white issue. I would like to clarify my position. There are two issues getting mixed up over here. First is the Hindu- Muslim issue and second is the negation of history. Regarding the first issue, we in India usualy get very emotional about history. I see no reason why muslims today should be blamed for something which happened 500 years ago. It is very similar to the Vasundhara raje scindia being asked to apologise for 1857!!!! I will not accept blame for something done by my great great grandfather. So I agree that this should not be turned into a Hindu-Muslim issue. Muslims today have nothing to do with what happened 500 years ago or what Aurangzeb did. Regarding the second issue, negation of history. I apologise for calling it a "leftist" attempt. Negation of history is very common in India and both "leftists" and "rightists" indulge in it. And it is not limited to the muslim rulers of India. A closer example - "Maratha invasion of Rajasthan and Bengal" . It was very destructive but dare say that in Maharashtra (I could be lynched for saying this) . In Maharashta, it is simply glossed over as it never happened. What I strongly feel is that history should not be negated. If Aurangzeb destroyed temples, say so. If Marathas destroyed Rajasthan and bengal say so...... As a Maratha, I dont accept any blame for what Maratha armies did and nor should muslims today. Hopefully good sense will prevail. That is my wishfull thinking. --- ajay <srivastava@vacoxmail.com> wrote: > I like Samarjeet's views. Its pointless to play the > blame game because the > people are no longer alive from the era.

I like Samarjeet's views. Its pointless to play the blame game because the people are no longer alive from the era. However, we should expand our knowledge beyond the text books from school (which unfortunately have to align with the populist thought of the time). It is always better to know all perspectives. There is also volumes of information available on the net from "respected Mulsim historians" of medieval period and its free. I believe, if someone cares to give opinion then one should care to educate oneself a little bit beyond the textbooks. Here are some free books available online for those who are willing to educaten themselves to any other opinion (other than our text book knowledge). The links below is just for reference.

Dear Mr. David Phllips, and all other readers, Indians use to speak/write/say state-forward; not diplomatic like US. Sorry, but it's fact !

Do any Sardars,Zamindars,Jahagirdars are as close to Scindia family as Angre are? >  Vilas > Greetings Vilas, I've sent you a photo of Sardar Shahajirao Angre, younger brother of the late Sardar, directly to you as Rootsweb don't allow attachments. He died of renal failure aged 85 (88 in a different source). As for connections with other nobles of Gwalior, someone else may have to answer that. Its unlikely that anyone from the Scindia family would have attended his funeral IMHO. Cheers, Henry
