Do you know Shahjahan had an entire city pay
for his daughter’s paan expenses?!

Did you know average British families living in
India had 36 servants ? A few have been listed here:
There was the usual khansama (head bearer), mali (gardener), bawarchi
(cook), ayah (maid) and dhobi (washerman). And there were also a few odd ones
like harkara (messenger), hajjam (barber), farash (furniture keeper), syce
(stable hand) and duria (dog keeper). So, the memsahib had nothing to do but
order the servants around. I wish I had so many servants.

Do you
know Ashoka had female bodyguards?
Ashoka was the 3rd Mauryan monarch
under who the Mauryan Empire rose to its height. Ashoka believed that women
were more trustworthy and could protect him better this led him to have female
bodyguards.
