I actually read an article in the newspaper years ago and I realised that when she died during the childbirth, her husband(a British royal) took all the jewels which her biological father gave her in a bag and her so called adoptive mother(Queen Victoria) did not do anything about it because let's admit it, British royals were all about looting india in every way possible and this was one of the ways to achieve their goals(extract as much money as you can as a gaurdian so that your own family can enjoy from other's suffering).
AMBRish - how old r you?? I think you Hv not read h of history of India. you think they looted royals at some point of time???😂😂dear they looted almost all the royals at all points of time. Remember that was the time of royals, kings and Queens. India was not a democratic country then. They killed looted destoyed their kingdoms and thus looted killed controlled their states and its people. whole India was under different Royals at that time so its a common sense to think that they looted killed the kings first😂😂😂😂😂remember jhansi ki rani???
In the last "Victoria" series there was an episode about the little Princess from one of the African kingdoms, who received similar treatment and was miserable inside the court. Finally was given to the servants to finish raising her. Can't recall what happened to her. Maybe it was traditional as Poccahontas was brought to England, too.
Not just that "money is not everything" But many things we can learn from her story, it's really disheartening to listen someone in such a situation, May God bless her.

its a big blunder by Raja Chikka Virarajendra to give his daughter in the hands of the coloniser its natural she gnna get that type of treatment ..on my view her father did the wrong
I mean if u see it in that way, he must have already known about that.. For the royals even in the Japanese culture the princesses were broomed in the hopes that their father could marry them into higher positions and therefore raise in ranks themselves too. So i guess it is safe to say that Raja Chikka already knew but cared more about his lost wealth and honour..
Rather than blaming the British for her misfortunes. He father was the reason behind all this. He not only destroyed his daughter life but the like of the whole kingdom too. He gained power by illegal means, used his crooked mind enough to screw his subjects. When Tippu kidnapped coorgies and converted them, this man was happily signing treaties with British. When the were sent back home he humiliated and out-casted them. When left to England with his daughter his other children and wives were left in Varanasi in a poor state. But the queen mothers some how managed to get their daughters married off to telugu zamindaris. The state of Coorg was looted by the British until they left India.

During Vijayanagar period entire South India was under it. And also for another 200 years it was a independent state
Don't forget that prince harry from royal family came out of it. Doesn't matter if a cage is filled with diamonds. It's still a cage and will remain to be. And freedom is not abt just watching tv and telephoning.
Just like Kodagu Princess Gauramma, Sara (Aina of Nigeria) was also adopted by Queen Victoria. The complete story is very much similar to the lost of native children in America's and Australia.
If no one loves you, that's OK absolutely OK, but plz plz don't be desperate for any kinda love, you will lose urself... Just love yourself... And be very proud of it
This thing's that British had done to India any many other countries killed looted gained wealth and left afterwards just for power I say karma is bitch it can change anytime people who brings evil for others will also meet their end with despair and will find power is just a timepass everything once prosperous had came to an end in the history itself no even dinosaurs could stop their extinction so what the hell is a small British royal family in coming 100 years let see where it goes
She wasn't adopted... But was converted to Christianity in promise to return to India..... They may do overall makeup to look good but down deep there lies truth so dark and grim about conversion.....
You call this adoption 😂😂. Like how british didn't looted India but gifted us trains and democracy. British were trying to civilized us , right 😂😂. Sugar coating words and interpretation is only thing you guys can do.
Sadly ,she was a Coorg princess,where by tribal law,women had high status. They owned and willed property,were treated as equals with men,And we all know how backward and unemancipated a simpering Victorian girl could be. Sadly she fell ill to consumption. Scheming British Royalty. When asked by the painter,why Duleep Singh...was looking so glum,at his annual portrait,this year.

Soooooooo sad. A royal princesses from India was adopted by the Queen of London grandly and then converted her into Christanity and then she was never allowed to keep in touch with her father. Which means complete ban from India and her own family. This is just not good. And then she died at the age of 23 because of all the loneliness depression and bad health. Its her fathers fault to send her to London. You should never cchange your religion. Never.
That was then this is now yes its history but if we want to move on we must push through to the future things have changed alot and are always changing.
Very bad to hear this , she could have remained with her father and not given to Queen Victoria. She married a dacoit , selfish, greedy and evil person. That was the second mistake of her life and the last one as well.
I think arabs and muslims in general have unity. Their basic difference comes in theology. But we Hindus are divided on caste lines. The reason for more conversions is we Hindus who lack solidarity and brotherhood cutting across caste/region/language. This may be the reason we get easily influenced by outsiders.
This is how India was colonialised by East India Company then turned the country to Britain. Yet till today India still love the connections to Britain. When India gained Independence when Britain found it rather impossible to maintain the colony after the war, the boundary was drawn up hastily between India and Pakistan causing much bloodshed between Indians. Go watch Johnny Harris video about this border in detail.
"ADOPTION" is such a nice word, but doesn't sound apt for the context. I'd have replaced it with "POLITICAL HOSTAGE".

What a Shameless king her father is. How could he ask help from his enemy.
How strange it Being kannaadiga I never heard this story till know
Nanu kooda
Only after 1950s Coorg was merged with Karnataka , before that for 100s of years it was a separate state next to us like Kerala
@kiran m True
For less than 10 years it was under Mysore kingdom, but before merger with Karnataka after independence it was a independent state under British India for more than 150 years.
During Vijayanagar period entire South India was under it.
And also for another 200 years it was a independent state
Pl read the novel chika veera rajendra by maasti venkatesh iyangar.
Anyways he doesn't seem to be great king. He literally saw self interest grabbed the first opportunity to become slave
Meanwhile the film industry...."a new film is on the way!"
Many of the Indian royals have ended up like this 😞
Atleast india is democracy
Really fond of history.. looking forward for more content
These things are never told in history books
Being happy is better than being a king
Exactly 👍 underrated comment
True
Do the royal family still adopt?
I need to put myself up for adoption.
Yes they adopt Royalty who seek asylum - Political Hostage
Else their country gives Asylum to many on the run
And end up like Gouramma?!!
@Cat Jam that's true..... That kind of money is so tempting!!!!
Don't forget that prince harry from royal family came out of it. Doesn't matter if a cage is filled with diamonds. It's still a cage and will remain to be. And freedom is not abt just watching tv and telephoning.
😁
A movie must be made, so that we Indians know more about the British Royal.
Just like Kodagu Princess Gauramma, Sara (Aina of Nigeria) was also adopted by Queen Victoria. The complete story is very much similar to the lost of native children in America's and Australia.
Victoria gourammas daughter- Edith Victoria married Henry Yardley, son of Sir W. Yardley, and had a son name Victor.
If no one loves you, that's OK absolutely OK, but plz plz don't be desperate for any kinda love, you will lose urself... Just love yourself... And be very proud of it
British raaj.. Why am I not surprised 🌚
What happened to Edith???
That's called kidnapping
And they talk about "forceful conversions" in Islam. Such hypocrisy in British Royal family.
This thing's that British had done to India any many other countries killed looted gained wealth and left afterwards just for power
I say karma is bitch it can change anytime people who brings evil for others will also meet their end with despair and will find power is just a timepass everything once prosperous had came to an end in the history itself no even dinosaurs could stop their extinction so what the hell is a small British royal family in coming 100 years let see where it goes
She wasn't adopted... But was converted to Christianity in promise to return to India..... They may do overall makeup to look good but down deep there lies truth so dark and grim about conversion.....
Holy shit!!! This is so spooky, we look so similar 🤯 Even my mom asked if I had some editing or something 😬
Yikes. Without even opening up your profile, I can see it too. 🤯
So nothing has changed to this day.
So it means quint hasn't heard about maharaja daleep Singh son of maharaja Ranjit Singh.
They mentioned about him here. Wasn't he just the 2nd king. I guess that dynasty is of only 2 kings.
No, he wasn't the last one. He was the youngest son of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Many from his family ruled before him for a short period.
@@ancientsoul7857 okay thank you for the knowledge 🙏
You call this adoption 😂😂.
Like how british didn't looted India but gifted us trains and democracy. British were trying to civilized us , right 😂😂. Sugar coating words and interpretation is only thing you guys can do.
How can we call her princess she didn't have love on her own religion and converted.
she married someone 31 years older than her what else did she expect to happen ://
Sadly ,she was a Coorg princess,where by tribal law,women had high status.
They owned and willed property,were treated as equals with men,And we all know how backward and unemancipated a simpering Victorian girl could be.
Sadly she fell ill to consumption.
Scheming British Royalty.
When asked by the painter,why Duleep Singh...was looking so glum,at his annual portrait,this year.
He said last year I had the Kohinoor ( cleverly pinched by the queen) in my turban,this year it's not there!
England would have taken pyramids from egypt and claimed it as their own only if pyramids were that easy to demolish and carry.
Thank you so much for this information !!
Why non Hindu try to convert poeple are they insecure ... 😂😂😂
18th century.. Many woman had same life as her.. She was adopted.. Some are married off to rich.. It doesn't change because u r of color or not.
Coorg is in karnataka.
For ppl who wanna know
All the religious books have been written by devils.. devils have played a big game..
How authentic is the story? Are there any resources?
Where is her daughter?
Can we change the title to kidnapped or so
Quint now trying to say British were good for us🙄🙄
Hey she was adopted stupid AND HER FATHER BROUGHT HER TO OUR QUEEN . AND YES OUR QUEEN CUZ MY LOYALTY IS TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND HER MAJESTY ALONE
@@rebeccaanderson5626 a child with parents can't be adopted!! She can only be sent away agsinst her will!!!
@@maheenm.k1015 Bruhhh you are insane . "I child with parents can't be adopted" bro They can they still are
In fact like 2/3 of adoption are childrens who have been disowned by parents not orphans
I wish someone would have told how great and majestic their kingdon was! Even better what those brits have
Great work
Victoria was too cruel to not let child meet father how lonely she must be ,new place ,new culture,new people ,new food ,no one who understands you , Britishers not only destroyed the life of commners but royal too ..hate them
What about the church mafia baptising Indians.... Giving them hope of better life ...🙄
very sad ....in the name of adoption her life became a golden prison with suffocation.
Why am I watching this in the midnight...
Failed marriage could happen to anyone. This little girl was seemed happy until her marriage.
Edith, her daughter ?????..What happened to her ???..That would have been interesting to know
Mysore Late King Wadaiyar also a puppet of British regime.
British royalty were sick
Her Father made a Grave Mistake 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
she would hv lived longer and found true love in her own country.and lived happily ever after.
and not in a golden cage---trapped and betrayed.
cmon--anyone Making a movie or series on this????????
an indian princess-adopted into british royal family--forced to convert her religion-not so happily ever after.
her younger self can be played by--maitreyi ramkrishn--from never hv i ever--she looks south indian enough.
and older self by--priyanka chopra jonas......
all INDIAN new actors are fine too.......who else wants to see this-show ur support here
Too bad... The Coorg king committed a great mistake...
Soooooooo sad. A royal princesses from India was adopted by the Queen of London grandly and then converted her into Christanity and then she was never allowed to keep in touch with her father. Which means complete ban from India and her own family. This is just not good. And then she died at the age of 23 because of all the loneliness depression and bad health. Its her fathers fault to send her to London. You should never cchange your religion. Never.
Even Queen cannot make any decisions without consulting the royal advisory board.😁🤭No liberty for queen too.
She's like president with more authority. Ofcourse she needs prime ministers and advisers
That was then this is now yes its history but if we want to move on we must push through to the future things have changed alot and are always changing.
ಈ ಕಥೆ ಯಾವತ್ತು ಕೇಳಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ...
Never heard this story as a Kannadiga
damn these royals were the height of entitled nastiness, glad to see them fall and become irrelevant
The crown will not show this colonialism, and era of darkness
The education we get deprived of
Very bad to hear this , she could have remained with her father and not given to Queen Victoria. She married a dacoit , selfish, greedy and evil person. That was the second mistake of her life and the last one as well.
Why hasn’t this been made into a movie!!!!!
I think arabs and muslims in general have unity. Their basic difference comes in theology. But we Hindus are divided on caste lines. The reason for more conversions is we Hindus who lack solidarity and brotherhood cutting across caste/region/language. This may be the reason we get easily influenced by outsiders.
Your concern is on point.
This is how India was colonialised by East India Company then turned the country to Britain. Yet till today India still love the connections to Britain. When India gained Independence when Britain found it rather impossible to maintain the colony after the war, the boundary was drawn up hastily between India and Pakistan causing much bloodshed between Indians. Go watch Johnny Harris video about this border in detail.
