Now BS thinks we have kings
After the TOI, it was the turn of Business Standard to write about kings we actually don't have. To it, Mysuru's Yaduveer Wodeyar is the "newest king" of Mysore - the name was changed to Mysuru months ago - and he is set to marry "princess" Trishika, daughter of "Prince" Harshvardhan Singh of Dungarpur. (inverted commas ours.) The Hoot pointed out the TOI royalty fixation, thereafter it put Maharaja.The headline was New King and Great Expectation, as if it was a local paper of the kingdom of yore. Looks like news desks need a crash course in post-Independent Indian history.
