A 18-year-old girl sat on a bed adorned with roses in the grandest palace of the most powerful kingdom. She was a princess from the small state of Bharatpur, the daughter of a king burdened by the debt owed to the former ruler, Chhatrasal Singh Sisodia, of Madhya Pradesh. However, the debt had recently been pardoned by Chhatrasal, who had also abdicated the throne in favor of his 27-year-old son, Surya Pratap Singh Sisodia.
