A royal row over a royal flag has the Jat community in Rajasthan’s Bharatpur divided, leading to trespassers on the grounds of the Moti Mahal Palace and heavy security at the gates of the 109-year-old royal residence.
The dispute is over two flags; both belong to the former royals. One is a ‘pachranga’ or a multicoloured flag of green, orange, purple, yellow, and red, while the other is a mustard base with red, blue, and rust squares and a picture of Hanuman. And the community is divided over which flag should fly from the ramparts of the palace.
Till recently the second flag was fluttering over the palace but, a month ago, it was replaced by the first, sparking a debate with the present royal family also taking sides on the issue.
Former prince Anirudh Singh said, "Traditionally there are two flags… one was used for battle and the other was a peacetime flag. The palace is my home and I am within my rights to fly any flag… as long as it is not a separatist flag or a flag that denotes any kind of subversion."
