Abstract

The article looks at how family members of Indian royalty are hunting illegally. It has been thirty-five years since India's royalty--an array of some 300 princes, maharajahs and nawabs--lost their privy purses and privileges. But their families are often still treated as local rulers, and many indulge with impunity in their traditional sport of hunting, illegal since 1972. However, Mansur Ali Khan, the Nawab of Pataudi, known as "Tiger" since he killed a creature of that species, spent last weekend in a police cell near his ancestral home, charged with killing a female black buck--an antelope that is one of India's most protected species.
