		Three years later these and various other engagements were consolidated into a systematic plan for the administration of the Baroda territory, under a prince with a revenue of three-quarters of a million sterling, perfectly independent in all internal matters, but practically kept on his throne by subsidiary British troops.
		In 1873 an English committee of inquiry was appointed to investigate various complaints of oppression against the gaekwar, Maihar Rao, who had recently succeeded to the throne after being for a long time kept in prison by his brother, the former gaekwar.
		The result was a conspicuous success, The gaekwar showed himself a model prince, and his territories became as well governed and prosperous as a British district.

		What made the offence worse was that the Gaekwar had been suspected for some years of fomenting anti-British sedition in Baroda, and his travels in America had made him sympathetic to democratic ideas (his state pioneered the establishment of education, libraries and clean water in India).
		And yet despite all this ado, it seems that the Gaekwar incident might rest on a false reading of the evidence, firstly concerning which figure in the films was in fact the Gaekwar, and secondly whether his behaviour was any worse than that of other Ruling Chiefs.
		The identity of the Gaekwar of Baroda in the films was so open to doubt that before the Sketch court case came up one of the legal teams even sought an official identification of the Gaekwar from the India Office (which request was declined) [99].

		The Mahrattas have always been a separate nation or people, and still regard themselves as such, though nowadays they are almost all under British or Mahommedan jurisdiction; that is, they belong either to British India or to the nizams dominions.
		There are indeed still three large native states nominally Mahratta: that of Sindhia near the borders of Hindustan in the north, that of Holkar in Malwa in the heart of the Indian continent, and that of the gaekwar in Gujarat on the western coast.
		But in these states the prince, his relatives and some of his ministers or officials only are Mahrattas; the mass of the people belong to other sections of the Hindu race.

		For many ages the custom has prevailed among the native princes of that country of educating not only the elephant and the dog, but the leopard and the falcon to assist them in the chase.
		The Gaekwar of Baroda, during my sojourn in his State, most kindly furnished me with opportunities of witnessing the excellent training of his falcons, hunting leopards, or cheetahs, and other animals.
		These were in such numbers and variety that I quite lost my respect for diamonds and rubies, although one of the former had actually been purchased for $450,000.
