Do you know that relations between India and Poland are very old and strong. How strong the relations are can also be understood from the way that even today, when the session of the Polish Parliament begins, Jamnagar is remembered. When the session starts, Maharaja Jam Saheb Digvijay Singh is remembered first. This is the respect that the people of Paland give to the Indian king. The story behind this honor is also very interesting… So let us tell you what was the relationship between Maharaj Digvijay Singh and Poland, how strong it was.
Roads named after Maharaja
Let us also mention here that even today Jamnagar is discussed a lot in Poland and people have great respect for it. It is even said that Maharaja Jam Saheb Digvijay Singh is worshiped like a god in Poland. The story of his kindness is still told to people today. When you visit Poland, you will find many streets named after the Maharaja. Even today people remember Maharaja Digvijay Singh and talk about him.
Connection between Jamnagar and Poland
The reason behind why Maharaja Digvijay Singh is so respected in Poland is the kindness of the Maharaja. In fact, during the Second World War, the Maharaja of Jamnagar had given shelter to hundreds of Polish citizens at his place. The Maharaja not only gave shelter to more than 700 Polish children and women, but also enrolled the children in schools. The Maharaja took full care of the refugees and provided them every possible help.
This is how we reached India
It is also very interesting to know how the people of Poland reached India. During the Second World War, when Hitler attacked Poland, Polish soldiers sent away 500 women and about 200 children in a ship. The soldiers had said at that time to go to any country where they can find refuge and then return when the situation is under control.
Haven’t found shelter anywhere
The situation had become such that the citizens of Poland did not get refuge in any country. Finally the ship of Polish citizens reached the coast of Jamnagar. When the then Jam Maharaja Digvijay Singh came to know about this, he opened the doors of his palace to the women and children of Poland. The Maharaja not only gave shelter to the people of Poland, but also took care of the education of their children. These refugees from Poland lived in Jamnagar for almost a decade. Due to this kindness of the Maharaja, Jamnagar Maharaja Digvijay Singh is still remembered with great respect in Poland.
PM Modi mentioned
Relations between Poland and India are being discussed because PM Narendra Modi has mentioned this in Jamnagar. In his public meeting, PM Modi said that today the relations between India and Poland are very strong because of King Digvijay Singh of Jamnagar because he had given shelter to the citizens of Poland in Jamnagar during the Second World War and made separate arrangements for them. Because of the seeds he sowed, our relations with Poland are strong even today. Prime Minister Modi said that even today, when the session of the Parliament of Poland begins, Jamnagar is remembered. When the session starts, Maharaja Jam Saheb Digvijay Singh is remembered first.
PM Modi got the blessings of ‘Vijayi Bhava’
Actually, two phases of voting for the Lok Sabha elections in India have been completed. Voting is also to be held in Gujarat for the third phase, regarding which Prime Minister Narendra Modi is campaigning with full force. In this sequence, PM Modi had reached Jamnagar and met Raja Shatrulya Singh. While making PM Modi wear a turban, Jam Saheb also blessed him for being victorious, which was later mentioned by PM Modi in his public meeting.
