- "Grizzly Man" (2006) (Werner Herzog)
The other day I was reading a news item on a down-to-earth (read no hit movie) actress being engaged to a Prince from Jaipur. There is also the Gay-Prince icon. Then there are the MPs from Gwalior, Jodhpur etc. who are still refer to in someway or the other as Prince/ss. This year we also saw the passing away of a Maharani (Gayatri).
Even after 59 years since the passing of the Constitution, and 62 years after the Indians are allowed where Dogs aren't, we are still fixated with the idea of "blue-blood", more so by the press. Art. 18 clearly abolishes such titles.
How we end up only time will tell.
