Once upon a Raj
Price Bhayankar suddenly became aware of prince Vir’s presence. ‘What are you doing here?’ he demanded. Prince vir cringed — animals disturbed when courting were known to get very vicious. ‘We have to elope,’ he said. ‘Elope? Elope?’ Prince Bhayankar looked at him in wonder. “Why would I want to elope with you?’ he bellowed. Once Upon a Raj is a lighthearted romp through a fictitious Indian princely state that is facing problems with the British. It is the story of Prince Vir, blackmailed into playing the groom in and marriage of political convenience. Elephant chases, tiger hunts, gypsy caravans, stolen diamonds, weighing-in-gold ceremonies and eloping lovers—this delightful novel has it all. ‘Imagine P.G. Wodehouse among the Indian princes and you get the picture. Irani is both funny and tenders as he spoofs British manners and the machinations of a royal family in India. A most enjoyable novel.’ Adil Jussawalla
