Anita Delgado Briones (For Paulo Coelho) , After Coming To Know About The Spy Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Anita Delgado the Spanish flamenco dancer and singer
From Andalusia
Whom the Indian Maharaja of Kapurthala,
Jagatjit Singh Bahadur
Met in a café concert in Madrid
And proposed
With amorous advances to court her
But rejected outright
And accepted later on.

A foreigner White European girl
Originally from Malaga
But emigrated to Madrid
After a Sikh marriage in 1908
Named Maharani Prem Kaur,
But she returned to
When rumours made the Maharaja
Suspect her infidelity
Which was but a family matter.

And the Maharani went back
Living a life of own
Enjoying the pension
But after the death of the son
The story slipped into oblivion,
The stories of romance
With a king,
East-West encounter,
A girl of humble lowly origin
A Maharaja miraculously.
