After a childhood in England, she settled in Lahore, the capital of what had been her father's kingdom, where she was a suffragette and a passionate advocate of self rule and independence of India.
[1] Bamba's father, Duleep Singh, was forcibly separated from his mother the Queen Regent Jind Kaur, who subsequently miraculously escaped a British prison in India for Nepal where she suffered in isolation and did her best to reach her son by letter.
His mother's ashes were not allowed to be buried in Lahore but had to be placed in a memorial in Bombay, going against her last wishes and those of her people as a final blow to the Punjabi and Sikh pride.
Queen Jindan was the last regnant of the Sikh crown till the British invaded by way of manipulation and intrigue with the viziers of the crown the Dogras who had been gifted Kashmir by Maharaja Ranjit Singh, an act of betrayal which led to the colonization of the entire subcontinent to British rule and the impoverishing of India where over $2 trillion was removed from the country for English coffers.
[2] On Duleep's journey back to England after returning his mother's remains to India, he met and then married Bamba Müller, who was working at a missionary school in Cairo.
[4] Bamba lived at Elveden Hall until her mother and her siblings were moved to London by Crown Authorities after her father escaped to Paris.
The lady selected was Hungarian Jew, Marie Antoinette Gottesmann, whose father was an Austro-Hungarian government official from the Jewish upper class circles of Budapest.
Marie Antoinette met and married Umrao Singh Sher-Gil, a Sikh aristocrat closely related to her grandmother's family, and they went to live in Hungary till they were pushed out by the Bolshevik Revolution and opted to return to India.
Her family's descendants through Maharaja Ranjit Singh, including the court administrators, still own land in Amritsar, India, where her grandfather had added all the gold to the Golden Temple, Harmandir Sahib.
[citation needed] When she finally died, her equerry and her funeral were arranged by the United Kingdom Deputy High Commissioner in Lahore, as well as a few friends as most of her comrades and companions and relatives had escaped to India during partition.
Bamba left a large quantity of important historical items to her secretary, Pir Karim Bakhsh Supra of Lahore, who gave them to the Pakistani government to be put on display publicly.
[7] The Persian distich on her gravestone has been translated as: The difference between royalty and servility vanishes, The moment the writing of destiny is encountered, If one opens the grave, None would be able to discern rich from poor.
