see the tradition, we fools thrown all our queen and kings of various places in india, gaekwads, hyderabad, mysore gwalior , they should be respected , they are kings and queens you cant change, even when we buy dogs we see the quality and behaviour, our present system cannot match with them ,at least all the kings and queens should be respected and their hairs and they should be the governors of various states, very poor state of affairs

You are right! British were wise not to dissolve all the princely states and prefered to rule them only indirectly as they knew that the princes were in much better position to rule them. Even today the royal family of Kolhapur commands respect among the local population and the elected members stand nowhere as regards their charm and charisma. Congress should have continued the British policy of controlling the princely states only indirectly rather than forcibly pulling them in the Indian unioin.

Yes, if these are the views of Alok Pande then it would be a blessing for India if someone really is ready to adopt them. Remember the words of JF Kennedy "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Alok Pande and his likes please wake up and use your democratic rights by cleaning toilets, clearing garbage etc in UP Bihar and the likes and make them Nederlands. That should be the spirit.
