Edited sentence: In 1971, the then government of Indira Gandhi abolished the titles and privy purses of all Indian rulers, a move welcomed by most Indians considering that most such rulers (though not all) had supported the British rule in India.The abolition of titles means today in India there are no Maharajas or Rajas or Nawabs or Nizams, etc, and it is illegal to use such titles.Unfortunately, some of these erstwhile rulers still insist on calling themselves as such; these titles today have no basis in law and can only be termed delusions of grandeur
