Session……
Maharaja Veerbhan Singh is holding durbar in his palace somewhere in
Rajasthan. There is a large gathering. I am a Durbari, 27 years of age. Maharaja
ji trusts me a lot. Maharaja is very powerful. There is a large enclosure for
lions at the back of palace.
We are sitting in Durbar waiting for Maharaja Bhagwan Dass. Maharaja Veerbhan
hugs him on his arrival. Now all are in Bhoj arranged in honour of Maharaja Bhagwan
Dass.
Senapati fights with me because I do not obey him. He does not like me
because Maharaja trusts me. I am 50. (suddenly starts crying loudly). Maharaja
is dead. Somebody has poisoned his meals. What will happen tomorrow? Rani
sahiba is very sad. She is sitting on throne. Kunwar sahib is not present. All are
waiting for Kunwar’s return. There is a long funeral procession leaving palace
gate. People are saying Jai ho! Jai ho! Maharaja is cremated.
Kunwar sahib is now the new king. He is busy drinking and dancing. Senapati
is now in control of everything. Things are getting difficult for me (started
crying loudly). I will never forget Maharaja sahib. He gave me respect and
love. I did not marry. I lived for Maharaja sahib.
I go to Rani sahiba and tell her “slowly everything is being ruined”.
She is also sad at the state of affairs but is helpless. I tell her that I cannot
live in the palace any longer so I am leaving.
I am going to a small village riding a bullock cart. I live here and
die at 65 (again starts crying loudly). He said “I will never forget Maharaja sahib”.
