Is the list meant to be of only those who are still around and are sitting members or is it to include even those who have been either in Parliament, assembly and local elected bodies as well.   There are many more names to the list especially from Bengal, north eastern states like Tripura and the south which have not been mentoned. Many smaller princely states from Bengal like Jhargram have sent their families members to parliament and are currently members the local bodies.   There certianly are many more to the list depending on the criteria of the list.   Regards         --- On Mon, 7/21/08, BIKRAM KESARI SINGH DEO <bksinghdeo@gmail.com> wrote: From: BIKRAM KESARI SINGH DEO <bksinghdeo@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [INDIA-ROYALTY] (no subject) To: pksaha000@yahoo.co.uk, india-royalty@rootsweb.com Date: Monday, July 21, 2008, 9:53 PM I would like to add what I know. 1.
