dalsingh101 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Been reading Anita Anand's book on Sophia, who was Maharajah Ranjit Singh's granddaughter. Here's an interesting excerpt regarding the treatment of lascars, who were essentially hired sailors, many of whom came from Panjab. It's interesting to note how M. Duleep Singh, who is commonly characterised as some hedonistic fool in white literature, tried to help these very ill-treated people by opening a refuge in east London (before the anglo establishment attacked him), and how his daughter subsequently did so much for these people too: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted January 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 The only difference from what I read above, in comparison to slave ships from Africa, is that the goray didn't have women to rape on the ships. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
