Found it poignant and funny that
#Vajpayee was raised in pre independence
#Gwalior as a subject of the
#Scindia kings. But today Vajpayee is the biggest icon of the
#BJP, a party in which the descendants of the Scindia kings are mere mid level functionaries. Scindia Royals had a big role to play in the rise of the
#Hindu #right, as funders and activists. They might have supplied the pistol and bullets that
#Godse used to kill
#Gandhi.
