IN THE BRITISH RAJ ERA ALMOST ALL THE ROYAL KINGDOMS WERE AT THE MERCY OF BRITISH ADMINSTRATION.THOSE SUPPORTED THE RAJ CONTINUED TO BE KINGS BUT THOSE DID'NT HAD TO SUFFER.
ONE SUCH ROYAL FAMILY WAS OF RAJA ARJUN SINGH OF PORAHAT.

ARJUN SINGH'S FATHER IN LAW,THE KING OF MAYURBHANJ ESTATE WAS PERSUADED OR RATHER THREATENED TO HAVE GET ARJUN SINGH SURRENDERED OR FACE CONSEQUENCES. SO, ARJUN SINGH SURRENDERED AT RANCHI ON 15.02.1859 BEFORE THE COMMISIONER OF CHOTAANAGPUR.

IT FEELS NICE WHEN WE SEE OR COME TO KNOW ABOUT THE PRESENT STATUS OF ROYAL FAMILIES LIKE THIS
BECAUSE MANY OF THE KINS OF ROYAL FAMILIES IN INDIA ARE SEEN TOILING IN SUN TO MAKE TWO ENDS MEET IN THEIR LIFE.
IN FACT,WE HAVE SEEN MEMBERS OF BRANCHES OF ROYAL FAMILIES GETTING INVOLVED IN ALL SHORTS OF ACTIVITIES WHICH ARE TERMED ILLEGAL AND HARD TO DIGEST.
YES,AFTER THE ABOLISHMENT OF ZAMINDARI SYSTEM IN FIFTYS THEY LOST THEIR SOURCE OF INCOME,POWER AND FAITH.BUT FOR THIS , THEY ARE THEMSELVES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BLAME.
