In Free Independent India, traitors and enemies of India during foreign rule were honoured. While natives continued to suffer as in the hands of the British. Congress Party was never an enemy party of British Raj but a collaborator with it. Hence their over flowing love for the British and hate for all British’s enemies like Subhash Bose, Bhagat Singh, Veer Savarkar, Sardar Patel, etc.
The Nawabs of Arcot belong to the lineage of traitors who fought for British against Desis. Now they have shifted drama and are pretending to be patriotic Indians. Sadly they still enjoy protocol advantage from the government which should go along with the abolishment of Privy Purse. But being Muslims, the governments don’t act against Muslims as they do against real Hindu Maharajahs.
The thirteenth Nawab, Ghulam Muhammad Ghouse Khan (1825–1855), died without issue and the British annexed the Carnatic Nawabdom applying the doctrine of lapse. Ghouse Khan's uncle Azim Jah was created the first Prince of Arcot (Amir-E-Arcot) in 1867 by Queen Victoria, and was given a tax free pension in perpetuity. This privilege continues to be honoured by the Government of India. This status is protected by the Indian Constitution and the family continues to retain its privileges and titles. The warrant of Precedence needs to be cancelled as India as a Democracy can not recognize loyalty. It is ludicrous thet India calls herself the World's Largest democracy while recognising dead Monarchies as Monarchies.The current Prince of Arcot Abdul Ali came to the title in July 1994.
Please read this British Government order why Nawab of Arcot became Nawab of Arcot? They were slaves to the British and both British and Nawabs had a common enemy. Read on:
Government's Gazette of April 1871:

Notification
Fort St. George April 18, 1871
At 5.30 p.m., on the 12th April 1871, His Excellency the Governor held a Durbar in the Banqueting Hall, for the purpose of presenting to His Highness Prince Azim Jah Bahadur, the Letters Patent issued by Command of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, investing His Highness and his successors with the title and dignity of Ameer-e-Arcot or Prince of Arcot, in India.
The Chief Justice of Madras, the Members of Council, the Provincial Commander-in-Chief, the principal Civil and Military officials of the Presidency, and a large number of residents of Madras were present on this occasion. One of the Governor's carriages, containing Aide-de-camp to His Excellency the Governor and the Under-Secretary started from Government House at 5 minutes to 5.00 p.m., for the purpose of conveying His Highness Prince Azim Jah from his residence, the Shadi Mahal, to the Durbar. A party of the Body Guard were in attendance. The sons and grandsons of His Highness and the gentleman of his suite followed in His Highness' own carriages in the rear of the Body Guard.
A Company from each of the corps in Garrison was present as a guard of honour.
On his Highness' arrival, a salute of 15 guns was fired and the guard of honour presented arms. On alighting, His Highness was received at the foot of the steps by the Chief Secretary to Government and by the Private Secretary to His Excellency who conducted him to the Hall. His Excellency the Governor met His Highness at the entrance of the Hall, and led him to a seat on the dais on His Excellency's right.
After His Highness' sons and grandson had been presented, His Excellency the Governor addressing Prince Azim Jah said:-
"Prince Azim Jah Bahadur,... I have the honour to deliver to your Highness the Letters Patent by which Her Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to invest you and your successors with the title of Prince of Arcot. In conferring this dignity upon your Highness, Her Majesty the Queen has borne in mind the ties which have united the fortunes of your family with the growth and ascendancy of British Power in the South of India. The name which you and your posterity will bear will serve to recall and commemorate the days when your ancestors and our predecessors cemented their alliance in triumphs over a common adversary, but Her Majesty the Queen blends with memory of the past gracious solicitude for the present and the future.
Her Majesty deshes to mark the esteem in which she holds your Highness personally as the representative of an ancient, friendly and loyal house. She desires to perpetuate her favour in your descendants, and to continue to them, in few forms of honour and with new guarantees of welfare, the means of serving their sovereign and their country. We are happy to see your Highness surrounded by two generations of your offspring, who will convey to after times the recollection of this auspicious day. Your Highness will know how to impress on them the duty of bearing themselves wisely and usefully in the high station in which they have been now confirmed.
Price of Arcot, - I deem myself fortunate in conveying to your Highness, in your venerable age these tokens of the goodwill of our august Sovereign. I trust that you may long live to enjoy the favour of the Queen, the regard of this Government, the affection of your family and the respect of the people of this Presidency."
The Common adversary the Government Order speaks is the Locals called Indians. This family which was hand in glove with the British and perpetuated atrocities on Indians should not be honoured, any further.
Will anyone hear Sense in India?
