Sophia Duleep Singh was born into royalty and grew up to be a revolutionary. This Spring, Eastern Angles sheds light on her extraordinary story in Sophia.
Sophia’s father was the last Maharajah of Punjab, dethroned by the British as a child and exiled to England. The family made a home in Elveden in Suffolk, until bankruptcy and a new mistress swayed the dispossessed Maharajah to make a secret new life abroad and plot to take back his kingdom.
Back in England, the young Princess faces years of loss and mourning before embarking on a lifechanging journey to her family’s homeland in India. Returning with a bold new sense of bravery, Sophia uses her status to become a beacon in the fight for women’s suffrage and Indian independence.
Written by Hannah Kumari, this epic new drama tells the story of an unknown lioness of women’s suffrage and her part in some of the defining moments of British Indian history.
