The House of Scindia: The Family Reunion

MAHADJI, THE FIFTH and youngest son of the founder of the House of Scindia, was considered the most powerful man in India in the late 18th century. Under him, Gwalior became the leading principality in the Maratha empire and one of the foremost Indian military powers. He restored the Mughals to Delhi, accompanying Shah Alam II there in He destroyed the Jats of Mathura and the Pashtun Rohillas, restricted the Nizam of Hyderabad to the Deccan and, most importantly, humbled the British in the First Anglo-Maratha War.

That was perhaps the greatest hour for the House of Scindia, equalled only two centuries later, in the rise of his descendant Jivajirao’s widow, Vijayaraje, who was instrumental in the establishment of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the predecessor to the BJP. Her only son, Madhavrao, fled the Jana Sangh (and briefly India) at the height of Emergency and in crossed the Rubicon by joining the Congress, leaving behind the mother and eventually two sisters in the extended Sangh Parivar. Over 40 years later, “the homecoming of the prodigal grandson”, as Yashodhara Raje has described Jyotiraditya’s departure from the Congress, has again united the once and future Hindu kingdom.
