Скачать или смотреть The Jet Set Life of the Maharanis

Have you ever guessed how Indian Maharanis traveled abroad given they had to retain and respect the orthodox Purdah rules of their royal families?! Well, some of the bigger Princely states had abandoned Purdah but not covering of the head of the royal ladies. Britain's Imperial Airlines started their maiden commercial passenger flights in 1918 onwards and in the London - Bombay route, Maharani of Cooch Behar was the first Maharani to travel ever. Like modern day Kardashians who highly display their jet Luxe life almost everyday, the period between end of WWI and start of WW2 did show increase of consumption of jet Luxe life by the Maharanis. Also by this time, major royal families had built their own aerodromes and had their own private planes. Hence the earlier sailing by ship for foreign trips was replaced by airline services like Imperial Airways or chartered flights. These flights also provided comfort to the royal ladies and Indirectly helped preserving some of the Purdah traditions. This entire flow of jet setting life was altered completely due to end of WW2 and Indian Independence. #tiqd #theindianquest #maharani #princelystates #royalfamiliesofindia #jetsetlife #jetsetter #imperialairlines #bombaylondonroute #luxelife #jetluxelife #luxuryflights #luxuryinair #palaceinair #lifestyle #society #culture #history #vintage #india
