Describe how the Maharaja of Nawanagar helped Polish refugees during the Second World War.

During the Second World War, Poland was invaded, and thousands of families were torn apart, with many children orphaned. Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji Jadeja, the Maharaja of Nawanagar State, was touched by this tragedy. He mobilised the Red Cross and other organisations to rescue the children. He brought them to Jamnagar and provided a safe place to stay, food, and care. He saved around 1,000 Polish orphans between 1942 and 1946. Several thousand Polish refugees were also welcomed to stay safely in his state. The children returned home safely after the war ended, and his service was recognised by the President of Poland.
