We still don't know if this story was true or just an urban myth. Whole generations of journalists learned the story from rickshaw drivers, tea sellers, shoe or bicycle repairmen... The story goes something like this: in the forest on the outskirts of the Indian city of Delhi, far away from the crazy world, lived a prince, a princess and a queen. They are said to be the last descendants of a prominent Shiite Muslim royal family. When they were expelled from the city, on the way to a new home, they took up residence for a while in the waiting room of the railway station in New Delhi and insisted that their family origins be recognized. New York Times reporter Ellen Barry carefully and painstakingly uncovers this intriguing story in a three-part series.
