Nampaj Kaur (c 1841-1903) was the daughter of Jind Kaur and Ranjit Singh. After the dissolution of the Sikh Empire, Nampaj was sent away to Cheshire, England to begin a 'new life'. Straying from her Sikh roots, she became a devout Christian. Deaconess and mother to three, her story is one of the least told in Sikh history.

I met her descendant in Kensington, and we discussed her story, and it was great to hear about someone who wasn't in the Sikh limelight.
