Nizam never had Kohinoor Diamond

Nizam never had Kohinoor Diamond with him. It went to British after Nadirshah in 19th Century.

Nizam used 'Jacob' diamond as paper weight. Get your facts right.

KSATHRIYAS

The community that dominated the Ruling different parts of India and lost most after Independence are the Ksathriyas. The real minorities are the Ksathriya Community Now. And we also lack leaders both locally and centrally to fight on behalf of the community over rights and reervations.

Real wealth

Their real wealth was their will for the nation and trust of the people both not considered in new world richness criteria.

Will for nation? Are you on bhaang? If they had will for nation and people, they wouldn't have allowed foreigners to rule over India and then they wouldn't have made slaves and sickening monarhies and patriarchies.

We are lucky to have born in good times where they cannot take away our lives at their will !

BETTER THEN PRESENT MINISTERS
by NIRMALKUMAR WALA on Mar 17, 2014 12:13 PM

MAHARAJAS RULE BEFORE COMING OF BRITISH WAS MUCH BETTER THEN TODAYS MINISTERS. NEHRU FAMILY IS TRYING TO BE LIKE A MONARCH WITH WHOLE OF CONGRESS PARTY BEING SYCOPHANT ONLY. DURING LAST 10 YEARS OF UPA WHERE WAS RAHUL HE HID FROM ALL CRITITCAL ISSUES LIKE CORRUPTION,COWARDISE IN FOREIGN POLICY. NO STEPS TO BOOST ECONOMY. HE DID NOT TAKE SLIGHTEST RESPOSIBILY AND NOW WANTS TO BE PM DIRECT WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST EXPERIENCE.

They are squandering the money their ancestors have looted.

They are squandering the money their ancestors have looted from innocent people over 1000s of years. That's why they are becoming poor slowly.

You are right my friend, but they are not getting any poorer. Its a comparable term.
Even today these guys are incredibly rich, as mentioned in the article.
