Rolls Roys once used for transportation of city's waste in Pakistan/India

[Nice2MU]

One day during his visit to London, Nawab of Bahawalpur was walking in casual dress in Bond Street. He saw a Rolls Royce showroom and went inside to inquire about the Price and Features etc of their cars. Considering him a just another Poor Indian citizen, showroom salesmen insulted him and almost showed him the way out of the showroom.

After this insult, Nawab of Bahawalpur came back to his Hotel room and asked his servants to call the showroom that Nawab of Bahawalpur city is interested in purchasing their few Cars. After few hours King reached the Rolls Royce showroom again but with his full astonishing royal manner and in his royal costume. Until he reached the showroom there was already red carpet on the floor and all the salesmen were bent with respect. The King purchased all the six cars that they had at showroom at that time and paid full amount with delivery costs. After reaching Pakistan, Nawab of Bahawalpur ordered municipal department to use all those six Rolls Royce cars for cleaning and transporting city’s waste.

World’s number one Rolls Royce cars were being used for transportation of City’s waste, the news spread all over the world rapidly and the reputation of Rolls Royce Company was in drains. Whenever someone used to boast in Europe or America that he owned a Rolls Royce, people used to laugh saying, “which one? The same that is used in Pakistan for carrying the waste of the city?”

Due to such reputation damages, sales of Rolls Royce dropped rapidly and revenue of company owners started falling down. Then they sent a Telegram to the Nawab of Bahawalpur for apologies and requested to stop transportation of waste in Rolls Royce cars. Not only this but they also offered Six new cars to Nawab of Bahawalpur free of cost.

When Nawab of Bahawalpur observed that Rolls Royce has learnt a lesson and they are sorry for their mistakes, He stopped using those cars for carrying wastes. After some years Nawab of Bahawalpur gifted the one of new Rolls Royce to King Saud's visit to Pakistan. That was first ever Rolls Royce in Saudi Arabia. One of new car was gifted to Quaid-e-Azam of Pakistan.

Note: Some says it was King Jai Singh like this blogger but apart from Name, the insult of Rolls Royce is common any way.

That's why it was so easy for the British to capture India and its Rajas, Maharajas, Nawabs, etc. They were interested in accumulating and showing off their wealth - Didn't think about putting that money to good and sustainable use.

An interesting tale however, would have been more believable if came from an authentic source.

Ya, the sources are not authentic because there are three or four names of Nawabs or Kings I have heard that's why at the end I gave a note. But in all the stories, the Insult of Rolls Royce is Common anyway.

And I disagree with you (@Petrolhead) that our Kings/ Nawabs were not using their wealth on public. Do you know before the arrival of Britishers to India, India had about 25% share in world economy? Their education system was excellent. Read the Lord Macaulay's speech in British Parliament in 1835 where he says that there is no beggar in India. Their education system is good.... " The same Indians have produced excellent engineers, who had constructed very nice monuments and buildings. Their problem was, I think, that they were not that much cunning like the Britishers and everyone was more interested in their ایک اینٹ کی مسجد۔ and power hungery. When British use to attack a state, the neighbouring state wouldn't come their help. The same is happening now a days.

I don't think Nawabs are/were Aeyra Ghaira. They were richer than the Rolls Royce Company.

TRUE SIDE OF THE PICTURE:-

WRONG: This photo has been circulating on Social Media and different blogs with a story of Nawab of Bahawalpur / Nizam of Hyderabad / Maharaja of an Indian State who took some revenge from Rolls Royce by using it for clearing garbage in the streets just because Rolls Royce once humiliated the Nawab / Maharaja on entering to its showroom.

TRUE: Neither this photo taken in India nor it is being used for clearing streets garbage. This photo was actually taken in some street of Baghdad in 1935(?) when the owner of the car wanted to avoid the tires getting punctured.
