@derekmhopper @AlbertBrenner1 @henrydampier Indeed. There were still local/regional Kings when the Brits left. Privy purses abolished.
@derekmhopper @AlbertBrenner1 @henrydampier Lands confiscated. Usual socialist 'reform'

@i_contemplate_ @derekmhopper@AlbertBrenner1 @henrydampier Most of these rajas were a terrible bunch, had to be rid of -
@autonomousHBD @derekmhopper
@AlbertBrenner1 @henrydampier The bigger ones weren't. Mysore, Travancore, Rajputana. -
@i_contemplate_ @derekmhopper@AlbertBrenner1 @henrydampier No, Brits didn't want strong kings, any weak lackey was put on throne -
@i_contemplate_ @derekmhopper@AlbertBrenner1 @henrydampier These small kingdoms (other than, perhaps, Hyderabad) were badly governed -
@autonomousHBD Nothing wrong with Travancores and Scindias. But yes point taken. @derekmhopper
