The last of Mughals famously died as a bum.
They deserved it imho. Surprised the nizam wasn't prosecuted for his crimes against humanity.

- notsureaboutpg 5y agoMany of the princely states committed crimes like this at various points in history. The Rajasthani princes retained their wealth by converting their princely estates into hotels / resorts, or diversifying their incomes, as they saw the end of government assistance coming. The South Indian princes did not do the same, imo, though there may be many other factors at play, I believe this is the largest one.
