About Shatrusalyasinhji's father Digvijaysinhji

It should be mentioned here that Shatrusalyasinhji is a former first-class cricketer and the last Maharaja of Nawanagar to hold the title. His father Jam Saheb Digvijaysinhji saved nearly 800 Polish children when many countries refused to give them shelter during World War II.

Because of his generous act, numerous streets and schools in Poland's capital, Warsaw, are named after Maharaja Jam Saheb Digvijaysinhji. He was the Maharaja Jam Saheb of Nawanagar from 1933 to 1948.
