Nizam always used to drink the finest Darjiling teas brewed in China clay Tea pots and presented in style (See pictures in"Pictorial Hyderabad"). He was a visionary with very good tastes and etiquets. Radhika should read Deccan History to know the fact about the earstwhile Hyderabad State. However the video is interesting to watch. I congratulate her and also the NDTV on presenting 7 Wonders of India.

Indians think their so much better than china because they have democracy. Hate to break the news to you, but india didn't come up with democracy, you had it shoved down your throat. What you have is a sham democracy, it doesn't work. That's why they had to rig the election last month. It's fake!!!Now the democractic slaves think they are free. Free from what? Your country reeks like shit because you have 800 people for every toilet. Think about that for a second now. Holy shit!!!
