Dhooan (Smoke ) wala Gosht

This one is a tribute to proud and independent place in Rajputana called Mewar , the first princely state to join the Indian state at the time of partition , and about which sardar ballabh bhai patel , our first home minister said " If any state has the right to stay independent(from india ) , its Mewar" , btw this was a repartee to the prime minister of Hyderabad state which was vacillating about its choice. Mewar the land of rana pratap, rana sanga which never accepted the suzerainty of moguls on there land .A fiercely and truly independent state.
