This is the true story of unusual courage and dignity in the face of appalling prejudice and cruelty from the Australian press and the highest levels of the British government. It is the tragic tale of, Martanda Bhairava Tondaiman, Rajah of Pudukkottai (1875-1928), who gave up his kingdom for love, of a loyal wife whom Britain refused to acknowledge, and of an Australian-born son who was denied his birthright.
