Divya Delhi: "Colonial Mindset": Rahul Gandhi's "Plaint Maharajas" Remark Draws Criticism From Royal ScionsCongress leader Rahul Gandhi was criticized by royal scions throughout India for having a "superficial understanding of history" and calling their forefathers "plaint Maharajas," who were threatened by the East India Company that destroyed the country. They also drew attention to Rahul's "selective amnesia," which caused him to lose sight of the advantages he had inherited."Your selective amnesia about your own privilege is a disservice to those truly striving against adversity," wrote Union Minister Jyotiraditya Madhavrao Scindia on X. Scindia is descended from the Scindia dynasty, which governed Gwalior until India gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1947. Rahul Gandhi is not an advocate of Atmanirbhar Bharat; rather, he is a byproduct of an antiquated entitlement. Your dissonance simply serves to highlight Congress' purpose.
