I have spoken to many, many Indian chiefs who say they have no objection whatsoever to the nickname.

I have registered few titles like 'Bharat Bandh,' 'Calendar Girl,' 'Money Politics.' The titles just intrigued me, so I registered. I had a title, 'Jai Ho,' which I gave to Sohail Khan for his next film with Salman Khan. These are typical Madhur Bhandarkar kind of films. I may make a film or not on such titles... not sure yet.

This great oracle of the East India Company himself admits that, if there is no power vested in the Court of Directors but that of the patronage, there is really no government vested in them at all.

In political and social analysis, we still have not cut off the head of the king.

In India, no one becomes prime minister before they are in their mid-70s.

Indian names were either characteristic nicknames given in a playful spirit, deed names, birth names, or such as have a religious and symbolic meaning.

Women have been called queens for a long time, but the kingdom given them isn't worth ruling.

Now, if I had an Indian name, it would be 'Stands in Confusion'.

I'd like to see a much more open Monarchy, myself. I used to think they were completely useless and we should get rid of them. I don't necessarily feel that way anymore. I'm still ambivalent, I still loathe the British class system, and the Royal family are the apex of the British class system.

In an election, there are no kings.
