India believes in the idea of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (World in one family) that is why many religions coexist and people live in unity and always stand by each other. This is why today the name of many roads and schools in the capital of Warsaw in Poland are named after Maharaja Jam Saheb Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji.
Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji Jadeja was the Maharaja Jam Saheb of Nawanagar from 1933 to 1948, succeeding his uncle, the famed cricketer K.S. Ranjitsinhji. He was educated at Rajkumar College, Rajkot, in Saurashtra, then at Malvern College and University College London. Digvijaysinhji joined the British Army in 1919. By 1920, he served with the Egyptian Expeditionary Force and was promoted to lieutenant by 1921. Digvijaysinhji’s military career spanned over two decades and after a promotion to captain in 1929, he retired from the army in 1931.
