It contains the overflow from the author's films in which Royal India appears. It is a collection of photographs anecdotes and other items which the author believes are worth saving. When India became independent in 1947 the princeses were guaranteed their titles properties and certain privileges. But more and more their special status came to be seen as an anachronism and it has now been legally abolished. For the princes it was like the French Revolution except that none of them went to the guillotine; they merely became private citizens. Many of these former rulers are still doing very well.
