This is a simple story of an Indian Princess who lived in North India from the Mid or Late - 1700's to the early 1800's and who was a fervent Catholic Christian.
She was a Catholic Christian out of conviction and not for "Material Benefits" as she was quite rich in her own right.
I am talking about Begum Yohanna Sumru of Sardhana.
She converted to Catholicism after a number of years. She was married to a French Colonel by the name of Walter Reinhardt Sumru.
She had a great devotion to Our Lady and built a Church -Shrine in honor of Our Lady of all Graces.
Note : Begum Yohanna Sumru is the only "Royalty" in India who became a Catholic Christian.
