Rajasthan to the world was a State of royals, a tourist hotspot. The state of beautiful dunes and palaces had an ugly underbelly that was hungry for power and money. After independence, power in Rajasthan shifted from the royals to the Zamindars. These people suddenly had a better hold of people and controlled all the crops and handlooms. More territory meant more money which led to more power. Then in 1975, Indira Gandhi declared an emergency and imprisoned some of the most influential royals creating a power vacuum.
