Brigadier Maharaja Sawai Bhawani Singh - The only one who deserves to be called Royalty.
​
A Maha Vira Chakra awardee - Very few Indian royals received major gallantry awards after Independence, which is one reason Bhawani Singh ji stands out so strongly.
Even after royal titles were abolished, he retained immense public respect because of his conduct and service
He led special operations behind enemy lines with the elite 10 Para Commandos. His unit carried out deep desert raids inside Pakistani territory in the Sindh sector.
Many military historians consider those desert commando raids among the boldest special-forces actions conducted by India in the 1971 war.
He represented a rare Rajput martial identity into modern India — not merely symbolic ancestry which is more into champagne and polo.
