Meet Indian King, who purchased the ten priciest automobiles in the world and turned them into trash cars

In a story of pride and vengeance, Jai Singh Prabhakar, a previous monarch of Alwar, bought ten Rolls Royce vehicles—cars renowned for their opulence and luxury—as payback for the British insulting him. This amazing story began in the early 1910s when Maharaja Jai Singh traveled to England and fell in love with expensive vehicles, especially Rolls Royce. Once, when he went to a showroom wearing regular clothes, the employees thought he was a poor Indian and made fun of him, asking him to leave.

Maharaja Jai Singh did not instantly strike back; instead, he went back to his hotel, dressed in royal regalia, and sent a message to the dealership declaring his desire to buy ten Rolls Royce vehicles, as per a News18 story. The showroom employees were taken aback by his abrupt change of clothes and threw down the red carpet for him when he arrived.

But when they returned home, Maharaja Jai Singh ordered the local corporation to employ the fancy automobiles as trash trucks instead of driving them.

The Rolls Royce vehicles shocked the British establishment when they were seen driving through the streets of Alwar gathering rubbish.

Maharaja Jai Singh refused to modify his mind despite repeated efforts by British authorities to convince him differently because he intended to get revenge on Rolls Royce.

In the end, the article said, Rolls-Royce corporate representatives visited India, expressed regret to Maharaja Jai Singh, and made an offer to swap the trash trucks for brand-new vehicles. But he turned down the offer.

This historic deed served as a reminder of the Indian people’s pride in their resistance against injustice.
