The Indian king who saved over a thousand Polish orphans in world war 2

An Indian king named Maharaja Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji Jadeja, also known as ‘Jam Sahib,’ helped save the lives of 1,000 Polish children looking for refuge after fleeing Poland due to the invasions of Nazi Germany and Soviet Union.

After the war he was posthumously awarded the Commander’s Cross of the Order of Merit by the Polish President. Poland has also named the Maharaja the Honorary Patron of the popular Warsaw Bednarska High School. In 2013, the Government of Poland inaugurated the ‘Good Maharaja Square’ in Warsaw.

The more I hear about India, the more I want to visit your country before I pop my clogs.

Are you still living in India, or have you moved to the west

 

Thanks for sharing

 

Yes, you can visit and stay in India whenever you wish to with your family.

The cost of living is cheap in India and other eastern countries compared to the west, and many come to India for cheaper medical services as well, which would cost them a fortune in their own countries.

I remember reading of a retired American academic and professor who lived in India comfortably after his retirement till his death from old age. He stated in an interview that if had lived in his own country, his retirement savings would have dissipated within a short span of time due to the high healthcare costs and cost of living.

There is a large western community in India for similar reasons.

No, I have never been to the west though I believe I may have been a westerner in a past life.
