Warning to British Government and Kings

Praja is a lovely machine to make money

In 1919, Kesari Singh came to Kota after being released from jail. He observed that in five years the environment of the country had changed rapidly. There was a demand to establish federal rule in the country from different parts of the country. Kesari Singh knew that the kings of small and big states were sucking the blood of their subjects. The kings were kissing the feet of the Ghori power to save their kingdom and looting the money of the subjects had become a tool to send them to England. Kesari Singh wanted that in place of the direct rule of kings over the states of Rajputana, a federal system of government should be established, for which there should be a system of two houses like England and America to make a constitution. Out of these, one house should be known as Landlord's Pratinidhi Mandal consisting of small and big jagirdars and Umrao and the other house should be known as Public Representative Council, consisting of workers, farmers and traders. He believed that religious, social, moral, economic, mental, physical and public welfare powers should be developed in the state for the establishment of good governance. Inspired by this idea, a few months after his release, Thakur Kesari Singh appointed A.K. of Rajputana. Yes. Yes. Wrote a thought provoking letter full of democratic sentiments. He wrote that by forming a federation of the princely states of Rajputana, a two-chamber federal government should be established in Rajputana on the pattern of the British Parliament. The kings should change their system of governance. If this is not done, then in future there will be a repentant memory for the kings. ……… people today are just a lovely machine to make money and the government is a machine to collect that money. If there is a delay in giving rights to the subjects, it will have dire consequences. Covering the fire with a sheet is an illusion, a game or a deceit.

Damn the kings

Kesari Singh did not want to eliminate the kings, he wanted to keep one house reserved for the kings and jagirdars even in the two-chamber system, yet he knew that the kings would be destroyed due to their own deeds. That is why he wrote, blaming the kings-

Shame on those palaces, where poison is filled.

The scene is hell, the devil is doing orgy.

Kesari Singh used to think so far that in AD 1919 he had predicted the future of the kings. This was the time when the British were preparing to erect a strong rock in the form of Narendra Mandal (Chamber of Princes) to stop the waves of Indian independence war.
