I married in India. My Dr. Husband didn't cook, drive or work non stop!!!! He was sent to boarding school! We hired drivers. My clothes were made specifically for me, I sewed my own. They brought me a friend, Anju. I could communicate with her....haha. she showed me how to make riti. The manager of the hotel took a photo we all took together haha good thing I had two. His eyes were the color tallow of a 🙀 cat's eyes. He made me chicken and brought it to the room!!!!
@t.j.7789 I don’t understand your story… are we supposed to respect you more or pity you? And did you mean “roti” when you said “riti”? And what’s this about someone’s eyes being “tallow” colored? Seems a bit…rude to say. Haha.
Am I the only one whose heart broke and cried for the young bride being taken from her family?… I understand “traditions”, and she may have known this was to happen. But damn the tears just came down hearing her cry for her parents 💔💔💔 I sincerely hope she has a good life and is treated well
Most brides cry even though they are happy to get married it’s leaving your family for your husbands that gets to your heartstrings, though they still are connected to you, your husband is your life now.
If she is lucky to get a caring mother-in-law….some mothers-in-law, if treated badly bk when they were the new arrival, visit the same treatment on thisnew bride
In my tribal culture, the women are told that you raise your boys not for yourself, but for the family in which he will provide. Meaning his bride and children. The man goes to live with the brides people as their children inherit the clan from the mother. The women send their sons away, because we inherit no land or home. We only provide.

An even powerful Leader, would tell his people to use the money for their families. Their mere presence, respect and warm greetings should be enough. Money giving should not be a measurement of connection or respect.
would she say the same about attending the wedding of a prince of England? I think not. Homeless people are living on the streets of london just blocks from Buckingham Palace. Yet that doesn't stop them from spending thousands on weddings and receiving the veneration of their subjects, does it?
I also feel that the negative comments are from people who don’t understand the importance of tradition and culture in this ancient culture. Take an honest look at life in our country if you’re looking for real poverty, inequality and unhappiness. There are deeper values than Walmart availability. Our opiate crisis and general health care costs and homelessness are symptoms of these lack of a cultural basis. Just saying…
‘People who don’t understand the importance of tradition n culture in this ancient culture’….tell that to the Dallits….tell that to the women who r born into n kept in the prostitution class…tell that to the generational ‘slaves ‘ still paying off loans their great great great grandfather owes to the ‘landed gentry’….there is a lot about India u don’t seem to know about…as to REAL poverty, inequality n unhappiness in ‘our’ country, well, said circumstances ocurring in a nation of 1 billion, STILL stratified by a CASTE SYSTEM, welllllllllllll….as to the Walmart values, most Indians r not earning enough to shop at a Walmart…n the few that own the wealth r more Cartier shoppers….drug use, welll, “With around 100 million substance addicts in the country, India has seen a 70 percent rise in narcotic consumption in the past eight years. In what can be considered a conservative estimate, the United Nations has found that 13 percent of drug-abuse victims in India are below the age of 20.” (Nov ‘22 report)…as to homelessness, “Homelessness is a problem that is particularly prevalent in urban areas, with an estimated 85% of homeless people living in cities. Most homeless people in India live on the streets, in makeshift shelters, or slums. A small minority of homeless people live in government-run shelters, which are often overcrowded and lack basic amenities.” Guess they r also having a ‘lack of a cultural basis’..don’t ?
@@rasempress9724 - Exactly. OP needs to get tf out of here with their "negative comments are from people who don't understand...". No one is telling them to give up a tradition and their culture but how would those men feel if their wives or daughters or even themselves were FORCED to be prostitutes for life. Forced to service anyone who shows up? I feel like if that was the case, things would change very quickly. You can maintain your culture and tradition but weed out the HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, ya know?
Being a royal is not an easy task. Nowadays its different. But during actual kingdom period its a king's responsibility for every individuals life. Nowadays u guys accepting looting politicians but royals never did that till foreign invasion after 8th century.
It is also a very sad thing that even in a super developed country like America, there are so many poor people. They do not eat properly for two meals a day and live inside torn tents by the roadside. so sad.
@TheQueeniehill i noticed that. Anywhere they go uninvited they appear to want to be there only too look down on their hosts and talk about them after. Superiority complex.
Crickey?? And I wonder who created it?? Not the British Raj.....oh no no.......my NHS and the London tube were created by British sweat while we gave India its political identity and the Railways. Poor devils I say, we civilized them........wonder why they had 27% of the World economy when we entered and 2% of it when we left. Crickey !! I say m' boy.
Welcome to planet Earth. It’s EVERYWHERE. Some of it is history, some of it is family connections, and some of it boils down to personal decisions and drive. Across every class. Sorry but that’s it.
5th largest economy and one of the fastest growing economy in the world referred as poorest is disrespectful and it shows narrow British mindset . It was Britain which looted and devasted India to such extent that its taking decades to recover . Empire established with cheating , betrays , exploitation , killing will suffer in long term
Until you’ve been to India it’s impossible to visualise the abject poverty that exists there today. People living and sleeping on pavements and traffic roundabouts, stinking household waste everywhere and a desperate hunger in their eyes.
VERY NICE TO SEE TRADITIONS AND CULTURE EVEN TODAY , OUR ROYALS ARE OUR PRIDE ....GOD BLESS THESE INTELLIGENT , INTESRTING PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY. I HAVE GOOD NUMBER OF RAJPUT FRIENDS , THEY ARE WELL MANNERED AND WELL BEHAVED , MUCH BETTER THAN POLLUTED POLITICANS.
I found this fascinating. The spectical, the contrasts, of it all. Traditional gestures that are centuries old carried out in a traditional manner. It must be difficult for the younger generation because they have to know how other people live around them and the world.
I think it must feel only like a burden on them. They have to live with the guilt that what their ancestors did was clearly wrong and now they have to depend on the legacy of those same ancestors to earn their dignity in the society. Quitting is not an option for them.
The more privilege you have, the greater the responsibility. Everyone has a place and everyone knows their place. It's how they belong to each other. Beautiful culture.

Indian society was structured differently before the British got here. The Kings were not the highest on the heirarchy.. they deferred to the intellectuals. The Kings bowed to them.
These poor people are impoverished in more ways than just financial. They have no education. They give their power and their energy away. These wealthy people do not appreciate it, they EXPECT IT! How sad that they are so entrenched in their society. This is too painful to watch to completion.
A condescending tone runs through the narration looking down upon the lofty idea of fulfilling one's responsibilities towards one's family, clan, tradition and culture. It's quite evident in the kind of questions asked of the royals who, it must be said, behaved quite graciously as an India host would. This just betrays the intolerance of Western elite to accept values and systems different than their own. Has individual freedom, break up of families brought unadulterated good for the Western society. Every system, tradition has its pluses and minuses. That gives no right to the West to look down upon the Indian tradition of respect towards one's family over individual aspirations. And yes, India has a lot of poor, but India also has a lot of rich and middle class people and it cannot be classified as a poor undeveloped nation anymore. And those who played a major hand in impoverishing us, the descendants of those colonials have the gall to call us poor.
India is far from impoverished in the 21st century. It's entire history from It's Mughal and pre-Mughal history through the British Raj to today, ALL contribute to India Today. Long may it continue.
@@paperclip612 India used to contribute 20% to world GDP in around 1800 AD. Today it's 2 or 3%. Our per capita income is still short of a middle income country. So let's face the reality. But why did this happen, because the Britishers deindustrialized us and made us just an exporter of commodities, which they then converted into finished goods and sold to Indians at a high premium. I don't think there is bigger loot ever done in history than what the British did to India. And here they have the gumption to complain about the extravagance of the Maharajas. Thankfully for India some of those places ruled by good Maharajas were protected from the ravages of the British, the old Mysore state and the kingdoms in Kerala for e.g. which were very well managed.
I am no fan of maharajas but for reasons beyond plain jealousy. As a Hindu that has studied the history of Bharat , these maharajas by dividing their inherited kingdoms among siblings weakened India's ability to defend from Hindu Afghanistan to all across. They where weak bec of internal family issues yet on ancient times they where the only military that had superior tech ( swords made from Indian steel methods which Muslims took to fight crusaders called Damascus steel ) , the battle tank of the ancient armies - trained military assault elephants, even the bow was pulled back using the legs for longer range so it had to be a lack of strategy , no unity , petty differences between these rulers that let a type of enemy enter & defeat most of them - I ref to theiddle east invaders from Persia, Greece then Turks, Mongols & wave after wave of Islamic invaders that have altered India permanently not for the good ! So under British rule these maharajas became puppets & eventually India won its independence & kicked all these characters out. They like the European aristocracy love on a bygone era that is harmless today. Where royalty is impactful & not very beneficial are in Muslim countries & the wealth from looted past coupled with Petro dollars dwarfs the Indian Royals wealth.

Lol, Who told you that ? That shitty western media ? India is the fastest growing economy. If you're feeling bad then why don't you ask the Britishers to return all the wealth they had looted from India ?
The Doc is 10-14 Years Old, When India's Poverty was 42% in 2010s and Economy was at 13th Position, Today, India's poverty has declined to 12%, And It's Economy has risen to tth Position Globally and soon to be 3rd Largest By 2027 overtaking Germany and Japan and India tosay is developing world Beating Cutting edge technologies like Landing on Moon, Producing 50% of the World's Generic Medicines, Advancements in IT and Biotechnology etc
Instead of landing on the moon and making such unnecessary pomposity maybe better to invest into people's education and wellbeing? Slums in India still exists along with terrible poverty.
I bet you that the villagers who fall within the maharaja's realm are poorly educated and have very limited financial means, thus the continued showering of adoration. My guess is that the maharaja wants to keep the villagers poor and ignorant.
If the chauffeur, who had ended up marrying the princess and thus breaking the family's royal bloodline, truly revered the idea and traditions of the maharaja, then he would not have gone through with the marriage. He was selfish.

@@ShivaniVerma13333 Indeed. It is very clear from the people shown in the video that democracy is indeed alive and thriving in the state of Rajasthan which is known for its egalitarian society and progressive stance on every social issue ranging from minimum age of marriage to women empowerment to religious tolerance. All the other states should learn from Rajasthan how to uphold the principles of democracy.
What a rich and beautiful culture. The servants are so proud to maintain their traditional heritage handed down from generations. As far as the accumulation of wealth is concerned, ALL millionaires and billionaires in power should be scrutinised, even those in communist countries.
The French woman displayed her massive ignorance of india today by comparing the maharajahs to the Bourbon dynasty. notice the maharaja was hosting the populace with food . India has a food security system by which each family has heavily subsidised rations and national identity to back it. The so called " Americanised Maharajah" decided to have no obligations with regard to his country or people and went to partake of an advanced and developed country. There is no question of " Let them eat cake " ( which also maybe historically incorrect .
They are just as pompous and arrogant like the French aristocracy. This doesn’t have anything to do with ignorance but the basic knowledge of people using power and ancestry to claim they’re better than others
India abolished monarchy in 50s. There are no Kings, Nawabs, Rajas in India anymore! Why making these documentaries and calling them with their lost abandoned titles? Highlight was the French women's statement that says something like... "The vast difference between opulence of these and filth of the villagers reminds time of French revolution".
At least here it’s based on tradition. Tradition of how we all as humans survived this long but in the west greed only and no discipline. The young man didn’t even want to tell anybody in the school that he’s a royalty. People here drop some names just to get attention…..
I understand your perspective on this matter. It's important to respect and uphold our cultural norms and traditions, which may differ from those of Western cultures. When it comes to matters like arranged marriage, our community may have its own established practices that hold significant value. Expressing concerns about maintaining these cultural values is completely understandable and does not stem from any opposition to love marriages.
It is all a gimmick. a charade. a mind game. If you decide to quit playing then the people who are losing in the game also quit and then you're all equals and in a world of equality a person with a deficit kills a person with surplus.
Good to see these Royals, the best I see by this video is, although they exist only by titles of ancestry nowadays, they have transformed their ancestral possessions to good use or business. The Best of All … They themself do work! Thumbs up for them!
For those thinking we on the west are Sooo much better really? Half the people in the US are a surprise bill from homelessness. All while venerate the Uber rich. It's the same shit different country

An even powerful Leader, would tell his people to use the money for their families. Their mere presence, respect and warm greetings should be enough. Money giving should not be a measurement of connection or respect.
would she say the same about attending the wedding of a prince of England? I think not. Homeless people are living on the streets of london just blocks from Buckingham Palace. Yet that doesn't stop them from spending thousands on weddings and receiving the veneration of their subjects, does it?
French commoner taking a photo and then saying its a little obsolete. Europeans will always be europeans.
I like how the present Maharajahs are kind of humble in a sense
To themselves only. Laughable
I also feel that the negative comments are from people who don’t understand the importance of tradition and culture in this ancient culture. Take an honest look at life in our country if you’re looking for real poverty, inequality and unhappiness. There are deeper values than Walmart availability. Our opiate crisis and general health care costs and homelessness are symptoms of these lack of a cultural basis. Just saying…
‘People who don’t understand the importance of tradition n culture in this ancient culture’….tell that to the Dallits….tell that to the women who r born into n kept in the prostitution class…tell that to the generational ‘slaves ‘ still paying off loans their great great great grandfather owes to the ‘landed gentry’….there is a lot about India u don’t seem to know about…as to REAL poverty, inequality n unhappiness in ‘our’ country, well, said circumstances ocurring in a nation of 1 billion, STILL stratified by a CASTE SYSTEM, welllllllllllll….as to the Walmart values, most Indians r not earning enough to shop at a Walmart…n the few that own the wealth r more Cartier shoppers….drug use, welll, “With around 100 million substance addicts in the country, India has seen a 70 percent rise in narcotic consumption in the past eight years. In what can be considered a conservative estimate, the United Nations has found that 13 percent of drug-abuse victims in India are below the age of 20.” (Nov ‘22 report)…as to homelessness, “Homelessness is a problem that is particularly prevalent in urban areas, with an estimated 85% of homeless people living in cities.
Most homeless people in India live on the streets, in makeshift shelters, or slums. A small minority of homeless people live in government-run shelters, which are often overcrowded and lack basic amenities.” Guess they r also having a ‘lack of a cultural basis’..don’t ?
@@rasempress9724 - Exactly. OP needs to get tf out of here with their "negative comments are from people who don't understand...". No one is telling them to give up a tradition and their culture but how would those men feel if their wives or daughters or even themselves were FORCED to be prostitutes for life. Forced to service anyone who shows up? I feel like if that was the case, things would change very quickly. You can maintain your culture and tradition but weed out the HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, ya know?

Being a royal is not an easy task. Nowadays its different. But during actual kingdom period its a king's responsibility for every individuals life. Nowadays u guys accepting looting politicians but royals never did that till foreign invasion after 8th century.
Actually, the Tang Dynasty started that in 608 ce, moreover, looting and being given items are totally different.
His ancestors ate so well he's almost a foot taller than his constituents.
Yup, poor Indians are absolutely tiny.
Good point. Indeed diet contributes a lot to the physique. Wealth buys health.
How unfair life is these people are dying of hunger so sad😢
What makes you think people are dying of hunger? Because the UN said so
In fact it gives employment
It is also a very sad thing that even in a super developed country like America, there are so many poor people. They do not eat properly for two meals a day and live inside torn tents by the roadside. so sad.
Each Maharaj needs to prove their money earned was legal and legit. As some how there is always more to this and the facts is all i am interested in.
The father of the Prince has a lot of personality and happiness, doesn't look like a driver at all
Crashing a wedding, and then insulting… Classy… Sarcasm. Unless I am living there,, Who are we to have the right to insult and judge another culture?
@TheQueeniehill i noticed that. Anywhere they go uninvited they appear to want to be there only too look down on their hosts and talk about them after. Superiority complex.
Yes, that wedding crasher free loader is one ungrateful Bxxxx.

Just like it is in England.

wasted education
5th largest economy and one of the fastest growing economy in the world referred as poorest is disrespectful and it shows narrow British mindset . It was Britain which looted and devasted India to such extent that its taking decades to recover . Empire established with cheating , betrays , exploitation , killing will suffer in long term
Until you’ve been to India it’s impossible to visualise the abject poverty that exists there today. People living and sleeping on pavements and traffic roundabouts, stinking household waste everywhere and a desperate hunger in their eyes.
The youngest Magarahah seems like a reslly goid kid, fortunate to have some resl friends at school. We can only pray for him as he grows up.
he is a "polo player" now. Typical super rich brat archetype
He is druggy and nashedi now and he is living in live in relation with a french girl in citty palace from age of 17 years.
VERY NICE TO SEE TRADITIONS AND CULTURE EVEN TODAY , OUR ROYALS ARE OUR PRIDE ....GOD BLESS THESE INTELLIGENT , INTESRTING PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY. I HAVE GOOD NUMBER OF RAJPUT FRIENDS , THEY ARE WELL MANNERED AND WELL BEHAVED , MUCH BETTER THAN POLLUTED POLITICANS.
I found this fascinating. The spectical, the contrasts, of it all. Traditional gestures that are centuries old carried out in a traditional manner. It must be difficult for the younger generation because they have to know how other people live around them and the world.
I think it must feel only like a burden on them. They have to live with the guilt that what their ancestors did was clearly wrong and now they have to depend on the legacy of those same ancestors to earn their dignity in the society. Quitting is not an option for them.
The more privilege you have, the greater the responsibility. Everyone has a place and everyone knows their place. It's how they belong to each other. Beautiful culture.

En este momento estoy disfrutando este interesante documental de la india se me asen super interesantes siempre que veo un documental de la india u de otro pais oriental siempre le doy like para apoyarlos y documenten mas historiales ahi el detalle que es en ingles ojala sea traducido al Español yo me encuentro en México
Yes, this is a very interesting documentary.
Sunglasses are for protection from piercing sun and to discern themselves from the rest. It's just like how those Indians who wear jeans declare themselves more superior than the ones donning saris.
I think it's quite rude for the royals to constantly be wearing sunglasses when being interviewed. lol. I try not to think about the dire poverty that surrounds these entitled gods. Interesting documentary. Thank you.
OMG, they made a positive video about India. But I can't digest it at all. My whole body is burning especially my stinky a**. Where did they get so much wealth? They published a video related to India but no one is using the word 'poverty' in the comment section. However, I should immediately make a negative comment by using the word 'poverty' about them. Because I don't have the ability to do more than that. Anyway, I feel better now by making a negative comment about them. Now I am very proud of myself because this kind of high education I got from my family.

U think UK does not have poor people amongst their so called king Charles??

Same goes with China!
Ur just not ready to digest the facts
You are poor or wealthy because of yourself don’t cry earn money
Sorta reminds me of the British Royalty. My question is, how do they help the society that supports them?
Indian society was structured differently before the British got here. The Kings were not the highest on the heirarchy.. they deferred to the intellectuals. The Kings bowed to them.
These poor people are impoverished in more ways than just financial. They have no education. They give their power and their energy away. These wealthy people do not appreciate it, they EXPECT IT! How sad that they are so entrenched in their society.
This is too painful to watch to completion.
They are Kings that work to sustain themselves and their assets. They created jobs for people so is a win win relationship.
India abolished monarchy in 52. There are no Kings, Nawabs in India anymore!
A condescending tone runs through the narration looking down upon the lofty idea of fulfilling one's responsibilities towards one's family, clan, tradition and culture. It's quite evident in the kind of questions asked of the royals who, it must be said, behaved quite graciously as an India host would.
This just betrays the intolerance of Western elite to accept values and systems different than their own.
Has individual freedom, break up of families brought unadulterated good for the Western society.
Every system, tradition has its pluses and minuses. That gives no right to the West to look down upon the Indian tradition of respect towards one's family over individual aspirations.
And yes, India has a lot of poor, but India also has a lot of rich and middle class people and it cannot be classified as a poor undeveloped nation anymore.
And those who played a major hand in impoverishing us, the descendants of those colonials have the gall to call us poor.
You’re talking about a country where people bathe, shìt, and dispose of their dead in a polluted river that they worship as god.
India is far from impoverished in the 21st century.
It's entire history from It's Mughal and pre-Mughal history through the British Raj to today, ALL contribute to India Today.
Long may it continue.
@@paperclip612 India used to contribute 20% to world GDP in around 1800 AD. Today it's 2 or 3%. Our per capita income is still short of a middle income country. So let's face the reality. But why did this happen, because the Britishers deindustrialized us and made us just an exporter of commodities, which they then converted into finished goods and sold to Indians at a high premium. I don't think there is bigger loot ever done in history than what the British did to India. And here they have the gumption to complain about the extravagance of the Maharajas. Thankfully for India some of those places ruled by good Maharajas were protected from the ravages of the British, the old Mysore state and the kingdoms in Kerala for e.g. which were very well managed.
All part of the cast systems.
These were British stooge
Contrast has its place. I do love a colorful ritual with costumes and all
We all have red blood….

We all have blue blood . We are children of God . Heirs to his kingdom of eternal love .
I am no fan of maharajas but for reasons beyond plain jealousy. As a Hindu that has studied the history of Bharat , these maharajas by dividing their inherited kingdoms among siblings weakened India's ability to defend from Hindu Afghanistan to all across. They where weak bec of internal family issues yet on ancient times they where the only military that had superior tech ( swords made from Indian steel methods which Muslims took to fight crusaders called Damascus steel ) , the battle tank of the ancient armies - trained military assault elephants, even the bow was pulled back using the legs for longer range so it had to be a lack of strategy , no unity , petty differences between these rulers that let a type of enemy enter & defeat most of them - I ref to theiddle east invaders from Persia, Greece then Turks, Mongols & wave after wave of Islamic invaders that have altered India permanently not for the good ! So under British rule these maharajas became puppets & eventually India won its independence & kicked all these characters out. They like the European aristocracy love on a bygone era that is harmless today. Where royalty is impactful & not very beneficial are in Muslim countries & the wealth from looted past coupled with Petro dollars dwarfs the Indian Royals wealth.

They're no different from the royal families of the West or the ultra wealthy in the West. Live and let live. Politicians are supposed to take care of their people primarily. That's who people vote for.
People in this country are starving, homeless, disease ridden and without hope. This is deeply disturbing. I think the money could be better spent. Sad 😢
We can say the same thing about our country.
Lol, Who told you that ? That shitty western media ? India is the fastest growing economy. If you're feeling bad then why don't you ask the Britishers to return all the wealth they had looted from India ?

Incredible India
The Doc is 10-14 Years Old, When India's Poverty was 42% in 2010s and Economy was at 13th Position, Today, India's poverty has declined to 12%, And It's Economy has risen to tth Position Globally and soon to be 3rd Largest By 2027 overtaking Germany and Japan and India tosay is developing world Beating Cutting edge technologies like Landing on Moon, Producing 50% of the World's Generic Medicines, Advancements in IT and Biotechnology etc
Instead of landing on the moon and making such unnecessary pomposity maybe better to invest into people's education and wellbeing? Slums in India still exists along with terrible poverty.
I doubt that it 2024 n they still have a way to go.
So unrespectfull with sunglases..
I bet you that the villagers who fall within the maharaja's realm are poorly educated and have very limited financial means, thus the continued showering of adoration. My guess is that the maharaja wants to keep the villagers poor and ignorant.
Towards the end the bride is being looked over and touched like she is a piece of property. SMH
If the chauffeur, who had ended up marrying the princess and thus breaking the family's royal bloodline, truly revered the idea and traditions of the maharaja, then he would not have gone through with the marriage. He was selfish.
Why people touch his feet ? What is Moharaja ? Still they are maintaining kingdom ship in modern time ?😮

In India even Maharajs(king/prince/elite royal family members) have to work for living ..this is the real meaning of democracy where everyone is equal, and no one is especially privileged.
except if you are a politician. And guess what these maharajas do nowadays
@@twistedspirit not all belongs from royal family are politicians...some are entrepreneurs some are in hospitality business.Politician is also kind of work to do.

@@ShivaniVerma13333 Indeed. It is very clear from the people shown in the video that democracy is indeed alive and thriving in the state of Rajasthan which is known for its egalitarian society and progressive stance on every social issue ranging from minimum age of marriage to women empowerment to religious tolerance. All the other states should learn from Rajasthan how to uphold the principles of democracy.
Such an old video. That girlfriend of his is already dead... The Princes and her chauffeur have parted ways...

What a rich and beautiful culture. The servants are so proud to maintain their traditional heritage handed down from generations.
As far as the accumulation of wealth is concerned, ALL millionaires and billionaires in power should be scrutinised, even those in communist countries.
Seeing these poor people giving money for these kind people is ridiculous.
The French woman displayed her massive ignorance of india today by comparing the maharajahs to the Bourbon dynasty. notice the maharaja was hosting the populace with food . India has a food security system by which each family has heavily subsidised rations and national identity to back it. The so called " Americanised Maharajah" decided to have no obligations with regard to his country or people and went to partake of an advanced and developed country. There is no question of " Let them eat cake " ( which also maybe historically incorrect .
They are just as pompous and arrogant like the French aristocracy. This doesn’t have anything to do with ignorance but the basic knowledge of people using power and ancestry to claim they’re better than others

Madness in the mad world 😂😂😂😂
Very interesting and very well shown tradition of Great India❤❤❤
Imagine the culture shock when they get taken away from that life.
I can't believe that other caste people do not wanna take pride in their titles. Sometimes it's you who has to start giving yourself respect.
I understand your perspective on this matter. It's important to respect and uphold our cultural norms and traditions, which may differ from those of Western cultures. When it comes to matters like arranged marriage, our community may have its own established practices that hold significant value. Expressing concerns about maintaining these cultural values is completely understandable and does not stem from any opposition to love marriages.
It is all a gimmick. a charade. a mind game. If you decide to quit playing then the people who are losing in the game also quit and then you're all equals and in a world of equality a person with a deficit kills a person with surplus.
so strange....the Rajasthani commoners are better looking...very clever continuous life system for a small group...
Good to see these Royals, the best I see by this video is, although they exist only by titles of ancestry nowadays, they have transformed their ancestral possessions to good use or business. The Best of All … They themself do work! Thumbs up for them!
