Maharaja
Captivating, true stories full of intrigue, adventure, desire and romance from the royal households— stories of love and betrayal which have been retold across generations. The descriptions of the harems of these Maharajas in India and Europe, their royal palaces, queens and courtesans, horses and cavalries, Rolls Royce cars, lion-hunting, royal feasts and grand durbaars will keep you glued till the end. These are an insider’s account of a priceless past of extravagance and lavish expenditure.
Maharani
A sequel to the bestseller Maharaja. A rare treasure of true stories that offer a deep insight into the glamorous and sensuous Lives of the Indian and European Maharanis of India. Intriguing as well as valuable. Maharani is at once a historical romance and a sociological document, as it vividly recounts a bygone era, an era perhaps never to return again. The author served Indian Maharajas for over 50 years accompanying them on their amorous trips to private retreats in India and abroad. He brilliantly recounts the extraordinary lives of the Maharanis of the richest Men the World has ever seen.

The Maharaja's Man
On the life and achievements of Dīvān Jarmanī Dās, 1901-1971, former minister of Kapurthala.
Maharani
"Thoroughly enjoyable and never dull. Brinda comes to life on each page in a manner seldom found in a story of a contemporary being. Elaine Williams deserves credit for an excellent job of writing. She has retained in every chapter a wealth of the maharani’s charm and personality."—The Houston Chronicle "A moving and muted account of a life in a transitional generation where East and West met . . . Touching and strange, this memoir gives fine glimpses into the Hindu culture, of worlds apart moving together, not without grief."—The Kirkus Bulletin

Dethroned
The dramatic true story of the betrayal of hundreds of Indian princely states by both the departing British and the new Congress government. In July 1947, India's last Viceroy, Lord Louis Mountbatten, stood before New Delhi's Chamber of Princes to deliver the most important speech of his career. He had just three weeks to convince over 550 sovereign princely states--some tiny, some the size of Britain--to become part of a free India. Once Britain's most faithful allies, the princes could choose between joining India or Pakistan, or declaring independence.
