The Shahzada
Prince Victor Albert Jay Duleep Singh
The Shakespearian demise of the Sikh Kingdom is historical. How about the heir to the throne of the Sikh Kingdom, what do we know about Prince Victor Albert Jay Duleep Singh? Did you know he was the 1st of Sikh origin to live in Canada?
The Black Prince
Maharajah Duleep Singh
He was the first Sikh in Britain, surrounded by the pallbearers of the Church of England faith that he had been forced to adopt. Don’t get me wrong. It wasn’t all doom and gloom in a deep dungeon for Duleep; I’m sure daily life for the Duleep Singh’s was quite marvellous.
Lion of Punjab
Maharajah Ranjeet Singh
A small man in stature, standing only 5ft 3” but he was a political and social giant, worthy of the title he bore: “Lion of Punjab”. He created a multicultural and diverse kingdom where Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims and religious minorities could all thrive harmoniously.

“For as long as she could remember, Bamba [Maharajah Duleep Singh’s eldest daughter]
had loathed the country which she believed had robbed her of everything.
She blamed the British for betraying her father and the press for vilifying her brother, Victor”.
(from Sophia: Princess, Suffragette, Revolutionary by Anita Anand)
