The modern day Maharajas
In the book "Freedom at midnight", the authors talk of the lavish lifestiles that the Maharahas lead, and how the sufferings of the common man did not diminish a bit. If you think those days are now over, read Amitav Ghosh's series in Hindu.
I liked this series for one more reason - in the first part, he has written very revealingly on the loss of identity of the survivors. One wonders of the troubles faced by these people.
Humans are not proud of their ancestors, and rarely invite them round to dinner.
