In 1876 Sophia Duleep Singh was born into royalty. Her father, Maharajah Duleep Singh, was heir to the Kingdom of the Sikhs, a realm that stretched from the lush Kashmir Valley to the craggy foothills of the Khyber Pass & included the mighty cities of Lahore & Peshawar. It was a territory irresistible to the British, who plundered everything, including the fabled Koh-I-Noor diamond. Exiled to Engl&, the dispossessed Maharajah transformed his estate at Elveden in Suffolk into a Moghul palace, its grounds stocked with leopards, monkeys & exotic birds. Sophia, god-daughter of Queen Victoria, was raised a genteel aristocratic Englishwoman: presented at court, afforded grace-&-favour lodgings at Hampton Court Palace & photographed wearing the latest fashions for the society pages. But when, in secret defiance of the British government, she travelled to India, she returned a revolutionary. Sophia transcended her heritage to devote herself to battling injustice & inequality, a far cry from the life to which she was born. Her causes were the struggle for Indian independence, the fate of the Lascars, the welfare of Indian soldiers in the First World War
- &, above all, the fight for female suffrage. She was bold & fearless, attacking politicians, putting herself in the front line & swapping her silks for a nurse`s uniform to tend wounded soldiers evacuated from the battlefields. Meticulously researched & passionately written, this enthralling story of the rise of women & the fall of empire introduces an extraordinary individual & her part in the defining moments of recent British & Indian history.
