A clip from the Stolen Maharajah – a documentary about the last Maharajah of Lahore, whose vast Sikh kingdom was swallowed-up by the British Empire. The Maharajah was then only a boy, but he was imprisoned, seduced and betrayed by the British. In adulthood, he came to understand what had been done to him and attempted to rebel, with catastrophic results.
