The Last Maharaja HD

A tribute to and memoire of a friend: Shri Uthradom Tirunal, HH Marthanda Varma V Padnamabha Dasa.
The irresistible and compelling story of two Princes, the last Ruler of the erstwhile state of Travancore Chithira Tirunal and his younger brother.
In Thiruvananthapuram- Kerala, South India, Royal lives are remembered, Kingdoms surrendered, privileges suspended and treasures disputed but Faith never wavers.
The Defender of the Faith and Devotee of Lord Padnamabhaswany with political company recall significant cultural changes over the past 90 years.
Filmed in 2012 on location at the Shri Padnamabhaswamy Temple and Pattom Palace,with heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this possible.

Honestly the Royal Family and the government of Travancore and Kochi are the reason why Kerala is well ahead of other states in India today. We got a very good start compared to other states in India.

[@San123-y2g]

Along with travancore and kochi kingdom kozhikode kingdom of zamorin also played a major role

[@zenjm6496]

@@San123-y2g I didn’t include northern kingdoms because they were practically dead long before independence. British rule is the reason why the whole of Malabar was considered backward at the time of independence.

@@zenjm6496 you r totaly wrong even if they had dead before 1947they also hold a big part by protecting from other kings attack if they hadt move any step forward to protect their region that region may be attached to the battle whom had won so all these 3 kingdom had their own investment for protecting Kerala

You can see true royalty isn't in the clothes you wear or the money, but in the ethics, attitude and the knowledge. Very wise, which is I agree. You see, countries that put so much importance on money are corrupt and might look happy with all the things they have but their soul and mind is poor

The family deserves a lot of praise for not squandering away the riches and preserving it from imperial plunderers. However Prof. Nalappat's assertion that it was amassed irrespective of the public is either naive or mischievious.

[@lordjudeiii]

Unlike other Royal House Holds in the whole of India, the Royal Family of Travancore is the most ideal of the lot. The past and present history of the family speaks for its self. The late King was truly a Noble soul and True Dasa of Lord Vishnu as Lord Padmanabhan Swamy. Regards Sheldon Jacobs. Cochin.

good episode

[@TheEric639]

It looks as Sirdar Patel was the incarnation of Lord Dalhousie. As Sirdar Patel followed the similar path to what Dalhousie was doing at the time of Great Indian Mutiny1857 or first war of Independence. Patel did opposite to what the native states fought for in 1857. Indira Gandhi went a step ahead taking the marxist approach to destroy a great past and glorious heritage of the princely states of India.

[@amulyamishra5745]

Is the Maharajah above the unity of nation ? What Indira Gandhi did to privy purse may be debatable, but what Sardar did can never be !

[@aloksingh4406]

You know nothing sir, sardar patel only persuaded his highness to join india, saradar patel could only request ultimate decision was with rulers.. travancore had an offer to join pakistan too on their own terms. Infact history has not done justice with these rulers in terms of their sacrifices ..Sardar patel had only persuasive force , his comparison with Dalhousie is ridiculous... Once new india was formed with firm footing , it was easy to capture hyderabad, but it would not have been possible if others too had taken same stand as hydrabad or kashmeer took... What mrs gandhi did was not befitting of a great nation..

[@truthseekerseeker4454]

You can’t even spelled the right name

[@harshdevvashist9343]

Infact Royal traditions could have enhanced the cultural prosperity of India. Kings were regarded representative of Supreme Lord Vishnu. So, infact royal families should have been given due respect and importance by the government. If not powers, they should have been supported financially to lead their royal traditions, atleast for the sake of great cultural heritage India is known for. For those who disregard and disrespect royals or who are jealous of them should know that God has given them privilege to be born royal and nobody can snatch that from them. Those who believe in God must believe in Kings, and by Kings I mean only Hindu Kings not intruders and their legacy.

Many people are commenting about his simple and humble way of life. But the fact of the matter is that he is living in a modern world of equality, liberty etc. So he has to live like that. even british queen is so simple now. Had he got all the powers of an imperial kingdom, his behaviour and attitude would have been different. The biggest quality of human race is adaptation.
