Abstract

Maharani Suniti Devi’s life was marked by a unique intersection of royal lineage, social reform, and diplomatic acumen. This study examines how her international travels and interactions with the British aristocracy positioned her as a key cultural and social ambassador for India. Through a critical analysis of her experiences in England and her contributions to cross-cultural exchange, this research highlights Maharani Suniti Devi’s pivotal role in promoting Indian cultural heritage and progressive ideals during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. By exploring her life and legacy, this study sheds light on the complex dynamics of cultural diplomacy, social reform, and women’s empowerment in colonial India.
