The "Maharaja Schools" in Poland: Honouring the legacy of Maharaja Jam Saheb Digvijaisinhji
Visit to Maharaja schools in Poland The "Maharaja Schools" in Poland are a tribute to Maharaja Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji Jadeja of Nawanagar, known as Jam Saheb, who played a significant role during World War II by providing refuge to over a thousand Polish children. In Poland, the Maharaja's legacy lives on through educational institutions named after him. There are at least eight schools named in his honor across Warsaw, where around 2,000 students study. These schools serve as a symbol of the enduring friendship between India and Poland, with many Polish policymakers having been educated in these institutions.
