PM Modi in Poland: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is currently on a visit to Poland. India and Poland share close ties. These two countries are completing 70 years of diplomatic relations. An important thing is that the people of Poland worship a Maharaja from India. There is also a 'Good Maharaja Chowk' in the center of the capital Warsaw. PM Modi is also going there. Then the people of Poland are once again remembering that 70-year-old incident. This incident is from the time of World War II.
Children's lives in Poland were precarious
When Hitler attacked Poland, the soldiers sent women and children on ships. Then they hoped that they would get shelter in some country and they would be saved. Then this ship wandered and reached the coast of Jamnagar in Gujarat. No country gave them shelter on the way. Then Maharaja Digvijay Singh Ranjit Singhji of Jamnagar gave shelter to these Polish people. Not only this, he also took care of hundreds of children for many years. And one of those refugee children later became the Prime Minister of Poland.
The Polish nation is grateful to the kindhearted Majesty
Maharaja Digvijay Singh Jadeja of Jamnagar, Gujarat, took a bold decision and gave shelter to Polish people in his kingdom. Most of them were children and women. From 1942 to 1946, the Maharaja gave shelter to thousands of Polish children in his kingdom, hundreds of miles away from Poland. Even today, there are 8 schools named after Jam Saheb in Poland. The Maharaja's name can be read at many places. It is written everywhere. 'The Polish nation is grateful for the tribute of the kind Majesty.'
In honour of the Maharaja, they wear T-shirts with his picture on them
The former Polish ambassador to India also studied in a school named after the Maharaja. Polish people respect the Maharaja of Jamnagar so much that they wear T-shirts with his picture on them. Wirth, a Polish citizen living in Warsaw, said, “We are wearing T-shirts because we want to remember the Maharaja. We want to keep alive the memory of what happened during the World War. In this way, we want to show the coming generation how the Maharaja of India helped in times of crisis.”
Referring to the contribution of Maharaja Digvijay Singh, Vartho says, “This quote shows how one should help one’s neighbour in times of need. We are always ready to help them and learn from them.”
Narendra Modi is currently on a two-nation tour
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is currently on a two-nation tour. Today he will be in Poland. He also comes from the state of Gujarat, so this is an opportunity for the Polish people to refresh old memories. PM Modi will also visit 'Good Maharaja Chowk'.
The PM will travel by train from Poland to the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, which will take about 10 hours. The return journey will also take almost the same time. The Prime Minister's visit to Ukraine is taking place amid recent military attacks by Kyiv on Russia.
