BBC political journalist Anita Anand tells the fascinating and largely unknown story of Princess Sophia Duleep Singh - descendant of Sikh royalty( Maharaja Ranjit Singh and Maharaja Duleep Singh), goddaughter of Queen Victoria and pioneering suffragette. Bold and fearless, she marched alongside Emmeline Pankhurst in protest outside parliament, refused to pay her taxes until women got the vote, and even threw herself in front of prime minister Asquith's car.
First aired 22/11/2015 BBC 1
Presenter Anita Anand
Producer Anna Cox
Executive Producer Aaqil Ahmed

I am curious why the British never questioned how a country could historically be governed by female monarchs, yet not allow females the vote. What was their justification?

Their justification is exceptions don’t disprove the rule. “Women are inferior with some exceptions.” That’s what your typical modern day sexist will believe now

It's so sad that the movie about sufragettes, didn't include her at all, even when it's clear that the leader Pankhurst, used her position and background to have controversy to the cause. I think she's even better than any of the other famous sufragettes, but the blind white feminism of hollywood ignores stories like hers. She was a true believer in equality....unlike women like Emiline P. ..or Meryl streep.

+Dariella Presley The movement and other radical movements seeking social and economic equality were so rich with great personalities that I think it might have been more of a documentary if they included too many of them. It was a creative choice, of course, but it seems the film makers chose to dramatize the conflict as more of a personal story experienced by all women, rather than focusing on historical figures. I agree with you though, quite an amazing individual who could be the focal point of a film.

Among so many things about religion and spirituality, He also taught the world to stand against the etrocities with a sword in hand to safeguard your self-respect and the respect of the downtrodden ( not confined to Sikhs only). It is due to the teachings of the 10th Guru that i myself shall stand by you in case of some discrimination you face in my presence. He taught us to stand up and struggle. Study the life of Guru Gobind Singh Ji and you will change your opinion .

Thanks for this documentary BBC and nice presentation of Ms Anita! Very proud of Sophia Maharani. And could actually feel the pain when she learnt about her legacy. Our lives comparatively nothing but royal if we travel through this.

Thank you for your research and a very inspiring story. All Indians, ( even those who are now called Pakistanis, must learn how the British robbed India and Indians of their wealth, and heritage. Meghan Markle has lot to learn from these Indian Royals who were exiled and imprisoned by the British Monarchy. Time has come for us to publish and distribute these stories wildly.

her mum was a mixed race bastard to spoil the pedigree of the royal family apart from the fact she didn't speak the same language as her husband neither english nor punjabi, urdu, hindi, french . It was a calculated move to prevent the next generation from being recognised by sikhs since they too were made into christians people of the court.

So sad maharaja Ranjit Singh’s legacy is hardly spoken of in the Sikh community. And for Duleep Singh- what a tragedy.

I really enjoyed this window into the world of a wonderful woman, but I felt frustration and sorrow of the treacherous acts of my country. We should be taught the real history in school instead of the edited version.
