During World War II, Maharaja Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji Jadeja, King of Nawanagar, Gujarat, rescued and hid approximately 1,000 Polish children.
In 1942, he adopted 1,000 children from Soviet labour camps who had suffered starvation, trauma, and family loss during the war.
He provided food, shelter, and medical care, as well as arranging for their education through Polish teachers.
He frequently visited the children's camp, building a great affection and respect among them, who credited him with saving their lives.
After the war, most children returned to Poland, while some remained in India, receiving financial and emotional support from the Maharaja.
