[edit] Christian
She is s Christian? Sounds more Sikh to me.`Bakaman Bakatalk 14:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, she was a Christian by religion, and her name sounds like a Sikh. Her ancestors were Sikhs. --Bhadani 14:39, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Please see these words of Khushwant Singh: Two retired diplomats on my list are Ranbir Singh and Jagat Mehta. Ranbir is Rajkumari Amrit Kaur’s nephew, a Christian conscious of being a descendant of Sardar Jassa Singh Ahluwalia. [1]. This is just by way of one of many such references.
- You are welcome to see this also: While visiting the Capital, it was considered wise also to confer with the Union Minister of Health, the late Rajkumari Amrit Kaur, with whom James had been in constant communication since the inception of his case. This gracious Christian lady, senior Cabinet Minister, close colleague of the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and former disciple / secretary of Mahatma Gandhi, was most sympathetic towards us.

- Alright, the info is sourced. Its the sound (Kaur=princess) that led me to the assumption she was Sikh.Bakaman Bakatalk 23:53, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- She was the daughter of the last Maharaja of Kapurthala, who married a Bengali who happened to be Christian, and converted to Protestantism to do so. His daughters, including Rajkumari Amrit Kaur, maintained their ethnic names but were Christian by faith. This is not uncommon among Protestants in North India and Bengal. Consider Prannoy Roy.

- Yes, exactly. --Bhadani 17:14, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
