Episode 1: Princess Sophia Duleep Singh


Listen Later

Two history graduates discuss the life of Princess Sophia Duleep Singh. 
Princess Sophia was an Indian princess, a suffragette and a revolutionary, according to the author of her biography, Anita Anand. Her father, Maharajah Duleep Singh was coerced into signing over his kingdom to the British Empire at a very young age, and was brought to Britain to the court of Queen Victoria (and presented her with the Kooh-i-Noor). Although Princess Sophia was a member of the upper class in British society, her life was filled with strife. Her rebellion against societal norms at the time and her prominence in the women's suffrage movement have been hidden in history, and in this podcast we attempt to highlight some of her many achievements.
