Only two generations ago, India was divided into hundreds of feudal kingdoms each ruled by its own extraordinarily powerful royal family. But their lives changed dramatically when India became an independent democracy. Many of the ancient palaces were sold and today much of India's royal history is in a tragic state of disrepair. BEYOND THE ROYAL VEIL takes us on a surprising often humorous journey behind the lavish facade of Indian aristocracy into the lives of two men who have turned to tourism to resist selling out: Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar of Udaipur and the Yuvraj Digvijay Sinh of Wankaner.
