The Black Prince (2017) tells the tragic story of Maharaja Duleep Singh, the last Maharaja of the Lahore Kingdom, who was separated from his mother, deprived of his Sikh identity, and taken into exile by the British after the fall of the Sikh Empire. While the film takes certain artistic and historical liberties, it has encouraged many viewers to reflect on Sikh history, identity, sovereignty, and the consequences of drifting from the spiritual principles established by the Sikh Gurus. Rather than viewing it as a definitive historical account, it is best appreciated as an introduction that inspires further study through reliable historical sources and primary evidence.
