A friend has sent me the link to an account of the life of the late Maharaja of Dhrangadra-Halvad who died in 2010.
His biography encapsulates much of the life of the last reigning Indian Princes under the Raj and in subsequent decades.
The English educated and Anglophile Maharaja was clearly a man committed to the concept of public service both as an independent ruler before 1947 and in the years that followed.
