You Think You Know India’s Royals? Wait Till You Hear About the Privy Purse

Описание: You’ve heard stories about India’s kings, queens, and royal families… but what if I told you, even after independence, they didn’t completely lose their power?

In fact, India’s former rulers were given something called the Privy Purse — an annual payment, legally promised by the Indian Constitution, to keep the royals happy after they merged their kingdoms with India. But decades later, everything changed when Indira Gandhi decided it was time to end the royal privileges and bring true equality.

What followed was political drama, a constitutional crisis, and one of the most controversial Supreme Court battles in India’s history — the Scindia Case.

In this video, I’ll break down how India’s kings lost their titles, the hidden legal twists behind the Privy Purse, and how this case reshaped Indian democracy forever.

If you think you know India’s royals, think again — the real story starts here.
