On the one side we see the luxury of the Rajahs, and on the other the grinding poverty of the people. All classes are very religious, and adhere strictly to caste and never intermarry. We see the Maharajah leaving his palace; he is the descendant of a line which has ruled the same land for twenty-two centuries. The Nizam of Hyderabad owns more elephants than all the circuses in America, and they are always hungry. They are used for processions, parades, tiger hunting, clearing the jungle and building purposes. We see the original "Gunga Dhin" watering the elephants. Kipling has immortalized him, and this is a perfect specimen of the type of water-carrier. The elephants love their bath. In the background we see a tomb. Whenever we see one in India we know that it denotes the grave of a Mohamedan, as the Hindus always cremate their dead. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
