	A Princess Remembers: The Memoirs of the Maharani of Jaipur by Devi Gayatri, Maharani of Jaipur May 13, 2010 at 10:30 a.m. A Princess Remembers is a terrific book for anybody who wants to understand India--what it was, what it is, and how it has made the very bumpy journey from then to now. Not only does it give a very good glimpse of the system of Maharahas that once ran the country, but because Gayatri Devi served in the Indian Parliament, it provides a fascinating window on the triumphs and pitfalls of an emerging democracy.
