During the horrors of World War II, especially it's dreadful effect on Poland:
"At that time, a man named Jam Sahib was the Maharaja of India. When he heard about these refugee children and saw photographs of children where their rib cages were visible, because they were clearly malnourished, his heart bled for them. India became the first country that welcomed all Polish refugees, so they could live in peace. The Red Cross and British consulates in Poland began a long process of arranging the transport of these children. Six hundred and forty girls and boys, along with hundreds of other adults traveled thousands of miles in a ship. Any teenager over the age of 15 was given asylum in the country, and adult men were allowed to live and work there as refugees, as well."
