One of the many tourist attractions in Shimla is supposed to be the Scandal Point where the Maharajah of Patiala is supposed to have misbehaved with the daughter of Lord Kitchener, British Commander-in-Chief. The British government in India banished the Maharajah, of course. He went and built a palace in Chail. The historical fact seems to be that Bhupinder Singh who built the palace in Chail was just one year old when the scandal broke out. Well, were the Singhs so potent that their one year-old royal offspring could proffer an amorous kiss on the lips of a young woman? Better still, elope with her (as one of the gossips - I mean, tourist guides, explains!) History is not any better than this, most of the time.

This can happen only in India :) Scandal Point It looks like a haunted house. And
