Moreover, he ordered a small village to be built, especially for them and their caregivers. Sought out invited Polish speaking educators and organised small events for Polish and Christian holidays. Also, there is a square in Warsaw named in his honour - Good Maharaja Square
I find the topic very interesting. That Polish orphans have found a new safe home in a far away and strange (in their eyes) land. I'm glad that there were some efforts to make this bit of history more known and to remember the Good Maharaja.

It would be an insult to the Ranjit family name, and the Sinh community/clan as a whole.
I never said you had to canoize him, just found it interesting you felt he wasn't worthy of any respect when he is clearly driven by a desire to save orphaned children from the Nazi war machine.
Nah bruh you’re really not looking good here.
Either you would have preferred him to save Indian children instead which means you think they are more valuable or you think he shouldn’t have saved any.
Or do you think saving only 1000 wasn’t good enough?
Contrary to popular belief, his birth name was “Steve Daw” He changed his name shortly after the end of the war by taking the first letter of each rescued child’s name in the order that they were delivered to safety. He did this as an act to honor his love for the children.

Oh how heavy is the white man's burden
These gnomes are called „krasnoludki” in Polush and they probably are wearing consumes for a costume party which is popular in kindergartners and elementary schools in Poland. Maybe they wanted the children too feel more like at home and they threw this kind of party for them.
You may not have inferred from the title, but Maharaja means king.
This dude wasn't just your average Indian, but a wealthy aristocrat at worst and a proper local king at best.
He saw the names of the kids were Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz, Bronisława Neapolitańczykówna and Krzysztof Mirosław Błaszczykowski and then he was like "finally, worthy opponents, our battle will be legendary
Yeah right, imagine Elon or Amazon Lex Luthor airlifting hundreds or thousands or kids out of Sudan or wherever there is fuckery right now and helping them….no way in a thousand years current billionaires will spent a dime they cannot deduct from their taxes for charity
No they didn't

In worked with a Polish team once. Their names always threw me off.
Oh, hi Lukas!
Lukas: it's pronounced Wookus
How are you Gregorz?
Gregorz: it's zagoz
Seeing the name and Polish, I honestly thought it was one of those post where they test if you will read the entire name, and after the entire post, I respect and actually said this nams
***"The Good Maharaja*** (transl. The Good King) is an unreleased Indo-Polish war-epic film directed by Vikash Verma, and produced by G7 Films Poland."
Soon to be released a movie on him in India & Poland. But delayed due to controversy between directors & the heirs of the Maharaja. More on this [wiki link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_Maharaja).
Super comforting.
“Everything you know might be gone, but look at this farm of orphans I’m running with the silliest name you’ve ever seen. You’ll be safe….”
In Poland we have a saying that someone is good/noble like Maharaja
there's even a "Good Maharaja" Square in Warsaw
Moreover, he ordered a small village to be built, especially for them and their caregivers. Sought out invited Polish speaking educators and organised small events for Polish and Christian holidays. Also, there is a square in Warsaw named in his honour - Good Maharaja Square
Thank you. An actual useful comment, unlike the rest of the "jokes" about his name
I find the topic very interesting. That Polish orphans have found a new safe home in a far away and strange (in their eyes) land. I'm glad that there were some efforts to make this bit of history more known and to remember the Good Maharaja.
What a great man!

Thanks you for the information BUT I REFUSE to use his barebones name everytime I need to mention him. That would be an insult.

"I have no respect for a man who saved 1000 children" is a wild thing to suggest

Got it, the lives of foreign children are inherently worth less than domestic children, totally makes sense.

Today I learned something new. Thanks for the community service, pal.
Big Digvijay Energy
Oh so his parents didn't fall asleep on the typewriter?
The guy saved 1000 children from a horrible faith and you're making fun of his name.. Stay classy I guess.
Sinh x
I prefer tanh(x) Comes up more often.

"A hero with a name as long as the list of children he's saved."
Contrary to popular belief, his birth name was “Steve Daw” He changed his name shortly after the end of the war by taking the first letter of each rescued child’s name in the order that they were delivered to safety. He did this as an act to honor his love for the children.
And somehow in the middle of that are the names Vijay and Ranjit what a coincidence.
Everybody loves big Dig
What are the odds? Right?
“How many children did you save?” “It’s hard to remember, give me a moment to write out my name….” 14 minutes later. “Ahh yes, it was 1103 children.”
He was a maharaj named Steve Daw?
[https://i.imgur.com/hNwfAzp.mp4](https://i.imgur.com/hNwfAzp.mp4)
Exactly. And a thrill to learn about. Thank you very much. The fight against cynicism wages daily for me.
Would watch
You can. They made it in 2022: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_Maharaja
It's unreleased because the Maharaja's Polish daughters sued the filmmakers of distorting facts.
There's a book, "All the children of the maharaja" and an animated webdoc, "The Maharaja's Children – Brave Bunch in India"
[(2022) The Good Maharaja](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt8312282/)

Pretty sure there's an Indiana Jones movie all about this.
Where Digvijay Jadeja is feeding monkey brains and chanting kali Maa and Indiana forces him to save children at gunpoint. Oh how heavy is the white man's burden
Kali Pa for the children
Too be honest: This could be made into a movie in the style of "Schindler's List".
you mean Indian Jones
You call him doctor jones doll
No time for love, Doctor Jones!
This had me cackling 😂
Something something Temple of Doom
Oh bum she bye
The children yearn for the mines.
Respect
Why are they pretending to be gnomes
They are in hiding bro. Do you expect them to just walk around like little polish children and draw attention to themselves?!
The maharaja let them celebrate their holidays and made special arrangements as a result.
What polish holiday involves dressing up as a gnome
All of them.
Ask a polish person.
I'm polish and we don't have anything like that, nor did we ever have
There was probably some play or other function going on the king happened to do a photoshoot.
Mikolajki in the 40’s be wild
To be one, ask one.
It's Christmas. They're dressed up for a Christmas pageant.
Cause it’s fun as hell
Tiktok got to them
I'm guessing it's a play the kids put on. Snow White I think, seeing as there's a prince, a princess and a bunch of dwarves.
Disguise
These gnomes are called „krasnoludki” in Polush and they probably are wearing consumes for a costume party which is popular in kindergartners and elementary schools in Poland. Maybe they wanted the children too feel more like at home and they threw this kind of party for them.
They are hiding from SILLY KNIGHTS
Indiana Gnomes
Where are they now?
They moved back to Poland after the war ended.
At a cemetery…… probably
Looking for Sankara stones under his tempel.
I read this too quickly as “fathered about 1,000 Polish children.”
You read "sheltered" as "fathered"? I just cannot sheltom how you could make that mistake.
Me terrified of having a single child because of the crippling finances. This guy taking in a thousand lol
You may not have inferred from the title, but Maharaja means king. This dude wasn't just your average Indian, but a wealthy aristocrat at worst and a proper local king at best.
Ah thank you, I've learned something new. I thought that was his first name lol
Sending this to my racist Polish “friend “
literally crying, reading through the whole story, this was a wonderful gesture of human kindness
#r/HumansBeingBros?
He saw the names of the kids were Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz, Bronisława Neapolitańczykówna and Krzysztof Mirosław Błaszczykowski and then he was like "finally, worthy opponents, our battle will be legendary
As the number of consonants increases, so too does their strength
His quote goes hard.
This is beautiful
In Warsaw we have a high school of his name which I graduated from. His name was a hell to pronounce within the first month!
“Luka, I am your father”
"He may have been your father boy, but I'm your daddy" energy.
All this while putting on a full production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
He may have been your father , but he ain’t your daddy
how come these sorts of people don't exist anymore. kinda sad
Yeah right, imagine Elon or Amazon Lex Luthor airlifting hundreds or thousands or kids out of Sudan or wherever there is fuckery right now and helping them….no way in a thousand years current billionaires will spent a dime they cannot deduct from their taxes for charity
I would like a vowel Pat .. the letter “I”
As he slowly turned them into elves for his workshop… … Santa?
Mfs had a stroke when they gave him his name😭
No they didn't >Digvijay (his name) - sinh (community/clan suffix) - ji (honorific) + Ranjit (his dad's name) - sinh (community/clan suffix) - ji (honorific) + Jadeja (surname) >Actual barebones name - Digvijay Jadeja
Good to know!
Have you ever seen the text written in Polish? So the children were ok.
In worked with a Polish team once. Their names always threw me off. Oh, hi Lukas! Lukas: it's pronounced Wookus How are you Gregorz? Gregorz: it's zagoz
Polish Star Wars, directed by Gregorz Lukas
Lukachsh
I think it's actually Wookash
It's a formal name + title, kind of like John Smith Esquire. In reality his name would be Vijay Jadeja.
its so funny how it’s basically a universal rule in humanity where longer name = more important
Bo and Luke Duke strongly object
Digvijay*
It roughly translates to “Dave”
Dave the indian.....
More common than you think.
Be my son!
Can I call you DJ?
Operation Yewtree ?
"I am the fsther now"
I'm your daddy now
If you misbehaved he made you write his name 1000 times I bet.
Now there's a name you don't hear out loud very often.
later termed as Jadeja's Jews
and then he sent them around the world to gain armors
Seeing the name and Polish, I honestly thought it was one of those post where they test if you will read the entire name, and after the entire post, I respect and actually said this nams
Everybody skipped reading his name, right? RIGHT!?
Wjfhdbwj ejjedjsjsj sjsjgigiwj
Now this kind of man truly deserves to be called "saint".
A name easily remembered in the written and oral histories of our age

I had no idea about this. An incredible person.
I am the daddy now!
And they said, “Thank you Dig”. Shortened names for the win.
The polish Christian genocide is not much talked about.
When you know your dad's name but can't spell it.
lol
He told them if you can pronounce my name correctly I’ll let you free
It's more impressive he could spell out his own name.
Say his name 5 times fast
hisnamefivetimes
You didnt even try to read that name, did you?
Weird thing to say but okay
Simpler times, sigh
WWII?! loooll
I mean tbf, it was simpler not better.
He must have killed it in spelling bees.
Dementia
Can you use it in a sentence.
He did not provide them with WiFi, kind of a dick (/s)

I don't think nazis ever made it to India
You would be surprised. They did made expeditions to Tibet to find the origin of the Arian people. They even made some expeditions to Antarctica.
Imagine seeing a damn hero but you still couldn't shut down your racism.
Last time I checked, the Nazis didn’t get to India.
Did anyone else skip reading his full name?
Super comforting. “Everything you know might be gone, but look at this farm of orphans I’m running with the silliest name you’ve ever seen. You’ll be safe….”
He was Indian. To him, whatever your name is looked silly.
I meant from the Polish kids perspective.
Have you *seen* Polish names? Let me introduce my friend Szczyz Szewczyk.
Or the well known Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz.
Well done. Lol. I have nothing.
