In 1930, Maharaja Bhupinder Singh felt slighted at the British Rolls Royce company’s refusal to accept an order from him for a new Rolls Royce car.

Reacting to the refusal, the Maharaja ordered new Rolls Royce cars and put them to hauling garbage, dung and filth in Patiala city,  to the chagrin of the all-powerful Rolls Royce-loving Viceroy and the British ruling establishment,  who quickly prevailed upon the Rolls Royce Company to comply with the Maharaja’s wishes.
