Irwin & Princes. In splendorous New Delhi met last week the Chamber of Princes. Nearly all of the Rajas and Maharajas maintain sumptuous residences in New Delhi which they inhabit only when the Chamber meets.

It is a civilization fighting the throes of corruption : normal human feelings, human values are worthless, no longer existent...
