The Stolen Maharajah: Britain's Indian Royal

SYNOPSIS

A look at the last Maharajah of the Punjab, Duleep Singh, who was wrenched from his mother's arms as a child in the 1840s and put into the care of an official of the British Empire. Growing up in a colonial enclave in India, the boy king abandoned his Sikh religion and signed away his ancient kingdom to the British, decisions he would come to bitterly regret. He moved as a teenager to Britain, where Queen Victoria became his godmother.
