EDITORS COMMENTS
Princess Sophia Duleep Singh (1876-1948), a prominent figure in the British suffragette movement and a key organizer of India Day, is depicted in this evocative photograph from 1918. Daughter of Maharajah Duleep Singh and his first wife, Bamba Muller, Princess Sophia was a passionate advocate for women's rights and played a significant role in the Women's Tax Resistance League. Amidst the backdrop of the First World War, Princess Sophia spearheaded India Day, a day of thanks, remembrance, and fundraising in recognition of the invaluable contribution of Indian troops to the Allied cause. Indian soldiers had played a crucial role in the war effort, with over one million serving in the British Army alone. In this image, Princess Sophia is seen in her role as a nurse, demonstrating her commitment to the war effort and her compassion for those affected by the conflict. Her presence at India Day underscored the importance of unity and solidarity among diverse communities during a time of great upheaval. The photograph, taken in February 1918, is a poignant reminder of the complex interplay of politics, identity, and humanitarianism during the First World War. It also highlights the remarkable activism of Princess Sophia Duleep Singh, who continued to champion women's rights and advocate for the Indian community throughout her life.
