I am thankful to rediff for bringing the views of Zamorin Raja of Calicut on the Temple controversy. After all his should have been the final word, if the controversy took place a few decades back. It is quite sad to know that he is residing at a rental accommodation. Our so called democracy should have taken care of the erstwhile kings like him in a better way ! We should remember we are here mainly because of their forefathers !!!

He is living in a rented house and the Govt is unable to take care of the ex-King because, we don't have money to spare after providing palatial houses for the politicians in Delhi, after giving them z, z category security support. This is India, my friend.

not like that. They are a dynasty who have done much good work than the stupid politicians. Of course, they lived on taxes from people. But they did GOOD WORK. What are politicians going now? doing hard work to earn money or what??? The kings are better off than politicians.
