I had given some pictures of places visited in Bikanir last month.Below you will some beautiful pictures of palaces and forts in Jodhpur.
Jodhpur is a beautiful city.
Please read till the end
However, when you think that these palaces were built by milking the blood of human being, squeezing taxes in different forms, you start wondering whether these palaces are all that good.
Burt isn't that what the present governments are still doing.
They are milking the people with thousands of taxes and increasing them every year.
And who are the beneficiaries?
The new maharajahs, the politicians.
Did you see the house made by A.Raja.
It is not less than any of the maharajahs.
This is only one politicians whose palace has been publicised.
What about the other?

Thanks for nice pictorial tour of Jodhpur. As you have mentioned in your post that these forts and palaces were made by squeezing blood and sweat of aam aadmi, I differ a bit here. If this was the scenario then these Maharajas would not have enjoyed so much of respect till date. You must have witnessed how people respects HH Gaj Singh of Jodhpur, knowing that he has no powers now. Now bring in the politcos in scene, do they any respect after a simple election defeat? NO
If your hindi is good then you can refer this article to have some insights on how these forts were built? what was the socio-economic system in those times.

There is always a brighter side of these Rajas and Nawabs, which unfortunately was covered under Nehruvian model of education.
